Just For Kids
The Survival Guide for Kids with LD (Learning
Differences)
(Revised and Updated Edition)
by Gary Fisher, Ph.D., and Rhoda Cummings, Ed.D.
First published in 1990, this survival guide has helped
countless young people labeled “learning disabled”—and the
adults who care about them. Meanwhile, laws have changed and
technology has advanced. This revised and updated edition
retains the best of the original edition: the warmth,
affirmation, and solid information kids need to know they’re
smart and can learn, they just learn differently. It answers the
many questions they have, like “Why is it hard for kids with LD
to learn?” and “What happens when you grow up?” It explains what
LD means (and doesn’t mean); defines different kinds of LD;
describes what happens in LD programs; helps kids deal with sad,
hurt, and angry feelings; suggests ways to get along better in
school and at home; and inspires young people to set goals and
plan for the future. Includes resources for parents and
teachers.
Ages 8 & up.
