Book excerpt: Learning Re-enabled is designed to help therapists, teachers, and parents understand the learning disabled child. The author, through extensive professional experience and a special devotion to learning disabled children, developed this book to be a resource for professionals and parents as they sort out the best possible learning plan for the child who learns differently.

The Individual Educational Plan meeting guidelines help parents and teachers take information from book and apply it directly to the child.

The glossary of terms is functionally based and can be taught by professionals, or used by parents. Before and after samples of handwriting from learning disabled children present a clear look at the obstacles and successes of learning disabled children Explains the laws that impact getting public and private services and helps parents and teachers understand the subtleties of the laws that impact their children/students.

Helps parents and professionals interpret behaviors of children with learning disabilities and gives them unique insight into what the child may be feeling.
