Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Statistical reports indicate that 2.7 million public school students nationwide have been identified as learning disabled, and that fifty percent of all high school dropouts come from inner city schools where twenty-five percent are learning disabled. Since learning disabled students innately have average to superior IQ¿s, why can¿t they learn? For years educators have been in search of the right reading approach, one that would meet the needs of all children. Since the early 1900¿s we have switched from a sight approach, to a phonetic approach, linguistic, whole language, integrated, and now, a researched based, balanced approach. The No Child Left Behind Act has set a goal that by 2014, all children in the United States are to be proficient in reading. The dilemma lies in how this is to be accomplished even with this improved balanced approach. Educational specialist Addie Cusimano shares her findings which are based on her research, work and success with students from pre-school to college age, from learning disabled to gifted. She presents her answers to the No Child Left Behind Act, discusses approaches that work best, the importance of teaching specific learning skills, and offers many valuable teaching techniques and strategies. Her premise is that learning disabled students can and should be cured at the elementary level, and that the best approach for all children is one that incorporates more facets of learning than are presently taught. This revised second edition of her book adds two new chapters, the teaching of foreign languages and mathematics. Written in an easy to read fashion, Learning Disabilities: There is a Cure offers educators, parents and professionals a refreshing and assured method for the solution to serious academic concerns.

Download or read book Dyslexia The Miracle Cure written by Wynford Dore and published by Kings Road Publishing. This book was released on 2013-03-04 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A controversial drug-free method of treatment for learning disabilities, the Dore program has been hotly debated in the medical community. In this account, the man who began it all shares how dyslexia impacted his life and why the program he created works, complete with success stories. One man's quest to help his daughter led to the start of a whole new way of treating learning and attention difficulties, and this is his astounding story. When she was only nine years old, Susie Dore was diagnosed as dyslexic and told that nothing could be done to help her. Her increasing depression eventually led to three suicide attempts. Wynford set about finding a way to help her, selling his multimillion-dollar business and pouring his fortune into researching dyslexia and learning difficulties. His team of researchers showed that, almost invariably, these problems are caused by an incomplete physiological development and that an answer to them might be found in a specialized exercise program. This revolutionary book captures the findings that Dore proponents believe will change the way dyslexia and ADHD are approached forever. It explains the theory behind the ideas and, through a series of case studies, demonstrates the success stories and how these ideas have changed the lives of so many for good. It is invaluable reading for anyone involved with or affected by dyslexia or any other learning difficulty.

Download or read book Stopping ADD ADHD and Learning Disabilities written by Nancy E O'Dell Ph D and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-04-02 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than forty years, Drs. Nancy O'Dell and Patricia Cook have worked tirelessly to develop and refine the revolutionary Bender Exercise Program, which can significantly diminish or entirely eliminate the behavior associated with ADD/ADHD and LD. Medications are the primary treatments currently utilized. But these drugs treat only the symptoms of the disorder, not the underlying causes. What's more, their use is usually accompanied by adverse side effects. Fortunately, you no longer have to depend on potentially dangerous medications to "solve" the problem of ADD/ADHD and LD. In Stopping ADD/ADHD and Learning Disabilities, the authors present their drug-free solution. In addition to detailing an eight-month exercise program, illustrated with photographs, the authors offer ways to work around the problem in school, at home, during sports activities, and in public settings. This revised and updated edition also includes findings from the authors' most recent studies; provides the latest information on negative side effects of many drugs used to treat ADD/ADHD and LD; and addresses potentially harmful current practices in baby care--such as the use of walkers and baby swings, and keeping babies on their backs nearly all the time--and their surprising roles in the development of ADD/ADHD and LD behaviors. It's clear that there's an urgent need for alternative therapies and smarter choices for the treatment of ADD/ADHD and LD. That's what Stopping ADD/ADHD and Learning Disabilities is all about.

It is of utmost importance, therefore, that professionals have the most up-to-dateLearning Disabilities: Implications for Psychiatric Treatment information on how learning disabilities are being identified, the effectiveness of current treatments, and their long-term outlook. Although more people have been identified as having a learning disabilities in the past 20 years, there is no agreement as to how widespread the disorders actually are. This is due to the fact that there is still no agreed on definition of learning disabilities, or objective criteria with which to identify them. The contributors to Learning Disabilities: Implications for Psychiatric Treatment, all experts in the field, go a long way toward mapping out the current terrain. The authors highlight the shortcomings of certain definitions of learning disability; they illuminate the connections between disorders; they point out the suspected biological underpinnings; and they direct our attention to some of the most significant studies on the long-term consequences of these disabilities. With all of the chapters extensively referenced, this book serves as an important resource for those interested in exploring in greater depth this critical subject. The contributors present clear and irrefutable evidence as to the role learning disabilities play in the lives of people who have been diagnosed with them.

Edited by Laurence L. Greenhill, M.D., a distinguished authority in the field, Learning Disabilities: Implications for Psychiatric Treatment will prove useful to professionals of many backgrounds, and provides practical guidance to psychiatrists, psychologists, students and residents, and to individuals and families whose lives have been touched by the presence of these disabilities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MORE THAN ONE MILLION COPIES IN PRINT • “One of the seminal management books of the past seventy-five years.”—Harvard Business Review This revised edition of the bestselling classic is based on fifteen years of experience in putting Peter Senge’s ideas into practice. As Senge makes clear, in the long run the only sustainable competitive advantage is your organization’s ability to learn faster than the competition. The leadership stories demonstrate the many ways that the core ideas of the Fifth Discipline, many of which seemed radical when first published, have become deeply integrated into people’s ways of seeing the world and their managerial practices. Senge describes how companies can rid themselves of the learning blocks that threaten their productivity and success by adopting the strategies of learning organizations, in which new and expansive patterns of thinking are nurtured, collective aspiration is set free, and people are continually learning how to create the results they truly desire. Mastering the disciplines Senge outlines in the book will: • Reignite the spark of genuine learning driven by people focused on what truly matters to them • Bridge teamwork into macrocreativity • Free you of confining assumptions and mindsets • Teach you to see the forest and the trees • End the struggle between work and personal time This updated edition contains more than one hundred pages of new material based on interviews with dozens of practitioners at companies such as BP, Unilever, Intel, Ford, HP, and Saudi Aramco and organizations such as Roca, Oxfam, and The World Bank.
Download or read book Dyslexia There Is a Cure written by John Evan-Jones and published by . This book was released on 1999-12-19 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " What started as a slight speech problem, was quickly followed by some motoric difficulties and by the time Alexander was five years of age, it was obvious he had a learning difficulty. By the age of seven he was formally diagnosed as being deeply dyslexic and I was strongly advised to place Alexander in a boarding-school for Dyslexics. In true Celtic tradition I said "To hell with that!" It was then that I decided that this bright, sensitive little boy of mine was not going to be handicapped or disadvantaged by this dreadful condition called Dyslexia. I had yet to learn that the resources available to help parents help their dyslexic children are woefully inadequate in just about every society - despite the fact that dyslexia is a $15 billion a year research industry. I began to realize just how desperate and frustrated Augusto and Michaela Odone had become in their search, for what was to become known as Lorenzos Oil. The turning point was when I met Marianne a gifted special needs teacher. We pooled our experiences and research and set about designing a program that would cure Alexander. Without any official help, support, or interest - we succeeded. Despite what many experts say about dyslexia, for many dyslexics there is a cure and we proved it." Extract from an interview with John Evan-Jones in the Scandinavian media. "Dyslexia there is a cure" is a dynamic new book written by John and Marianne Evan-Jones which is designed to help parents teach their dyslexic child to read. It briefly describes the symptoms and struggle that they experienced with their son Alexander (both in the UK and Denmark) and in detail contains a unique and easy to use home-teaching program. Entitled the P.O.W.E.R program (Power Over Words Equals Results), it is a complete home-teaching program that any parent can understand and use with startling results. Combining traditional special-needs teaching approaches with the latest psychological methods, it is now possible for any child to begin to read after the first session of the POWER program. Within a very short time of commencing the program, virtually any child will show a remarkable improvement in their reading, writing and spelling abilities. Since its first publication in Scandinavia, thousands of parents from around the world have contacted John and Marianne Evan-Jones for help and advice, many of them buying the Danish version of the book and having it translated at their own cost. Because of this huge interest, John and Marianne Evan-Jones have now decided to release the book in English.
