First published in 1990, this survival guide has helped countless young people labeled "learning disabled" and the adults who care about them. This revised and updated edition answers questions, 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; 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.
