As a mother, she understands and conveys the dynamics of dyslexia in a way that illuminates both the helplessness any parent may feel when faced with a child's reading..."
Dyslexia Treatment
"Is it possible to rate a book higher than 5 stars? When I first read this book, my first reaction was anger. I was mad, because I had never heard of most of the information in this book. This stuff SHOULD be in the public domain. Why hasn't the media reported on any of these studies? Then I thought about it. If this stuff really does work, many companies stand to lose significant billions of dollars in revenue from the sale of ritalin and aderall.
My next reaction was great joy. Finally,..."

Dyslexia Kids Fiction
"This is a great book to read at the beginning of the school year to encourage a teacher and inspire him/her for a newyear with new students, especially the ones that "struggle". It is also a great book to read to the class to teach tolerance and understanding of those who learn a little differently than they do."

Hi/Lo Fiction
"I liked this book because it is sort of a mystery and history book. This book is about two kids who owe money because their parents were poor and owed money but they died. When the kids, Bud and his older sister Liz, get a telephone message from a person who works on a 13th floor of a building, they think it is a prank. When his sister goes to work and doesn't come back, Bud thinks that she when to the 13th floor. When he opens the door to the 13th floor, he finds himself on a ship with an..."
ADHD Adult
"Ms. Solden has opened the door to new territories in this book. Unlike other books on AD/HD that seem to repeat much of the same information over and over again, Journeys into ADDulthood gently leads the reader into the next stage of one's ADD self-discovery and growth. It is a refreshing look at "what happens next"- after one is diagnosed and treated.
The author breaks up the book into three main sections, or journeys: The Crisis of Understanding, The Crisis of Identity, and the..."

ADHD Teenage
"A well written book which listed case studies but did not fulfill my expectation with assistance for solutions to this problem of ADHA."
ADHD Kids
"A well written book which listed case studies but did not fulfill my expectation with assistance for solutions to this problem of ADHA."
ADHD Treatment
"This was our first book we read for our newly formed Bible Study/ Women's Book club at our church. It was a hit and everybody thoroughly enjoyed it. There was a chapter or two that was just "ok", but the rest of it made a lot of sense. Our book club is mostly new moms or moms with younger children."
ADHD Medication
"This was the best book on ADD my wife and I have read. It not only explained ADD in understandable terms, it also provided us with practical ways to help our child succeed at school, at church, and in society. We appreciated the examples given because they enabled us to explain our situation to others in ways that help others (family and friends) to understand that ADD is not a curse and that an ADD child is not damaged goods. This is a must-read for anyone related in any way to someone with..."
Primitive Reflexes
"Few people are aware of the crucial role of primitive reflexes in child development. While primitive reflexes do not directly affect cognitive development, their presence, when they should have integrated by the age of 3, may signify various learning challenges, such as attention deficit and poor motor skills.
This book does well to raise the awareness by giving a scientific basis for why primitive reflexes affect learning and behavior. Unfortunately, the author does not reveal how..."
Autism Fiction
"I bought this book after reading all of the massive amounts of praise that has been lavished upon it. I have to say, these praises are not deserved and I am completely baffled how this novel achieved such a status. I found myself struggling to keep reading because I knew this book was going nowhere.
First it starts with a halfway entertaining plot about the dog being killed. "Ok. Fine," I'm thinking. "Surely this will lead to something else." And it does, but it was a very..."
Autism Parenting
This book brings hope where despair has prevailed. It offers the prospect of early detection of prodromal signs of autism and the possibility of effective therapeutic mitigation.
Directed at the clinical practitioners who must build bridges between theory and practice, this book combines what we know with what we know that works, all for the betterment of the babies and their families. Early intervention is the treatment, the tool of the clinician, because it sits somewhere between...
Autism Autobiography
"Born on a Blue Day by Daniel Tammet is an autobiography that you will either find totally engrossing or terribly tedious. Fortunately, I was one who was enthralled by Tammet and his incredible story.
Tammet is unusual in many ways. First, he was diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome (a high level form of Autism), but not until he was 24 years old. He describes in great detail his childhood experiences and how different he was from others. Second, he is a savant with extraordinary..."
Autism Teaching

Autism Siblings
"My 11 year old daughter read this book and even asked if she could read some of "her favorite essays" to us - she is the older sibling of our 2 year old little girl who was born 17 weeks early and she has cerebral palsy, blindness, deafness, is tube-fed and chronically ill. Her favorite stories were of the ones that she could most relate to - like the little boy who said he did not understand why his sibling was so ill when she was born. I think it made my daughter feel like it was okay for..."
