An innovative, comprehensive guide--the first of its kind--to
help parents understand and accept learning disabilities in their
children, offering tips and strategies for successfully advocating
on their behalf and helping them become their own best
advocates.
In Thinking Differently, David Flink, the leader of Eye to
Eye--a national mentoring program for students with learning and
attention issues--enlarges our understanding of the learning
process and offers powerful, innovative strategies for parenting,
teaching, and supporting the 20 percent of students with learning
disabilities. An outstanding fighter who has helped thousands of
children adapt to their specific learning issues, Flink understands
the needs and experiences of these children first hand. He, too,
has dyslexia and ADHD.
Focusing on how to arm students who think and learn differently
with essential skills, including meta-cognition and self-advocacy,
Flink offers real, hard advice, providing the tools to address
specific problems they face--from building self-esteem and
reconstructing the learning environment, to getting proper
diagnoses and discovering their inner gifts. With his easy,
hands-on "Step-by-Step Launchpad to Empowerment," parents can take
immediate steps to improve their children's lives.
Thinking Differently is a brilliant, compassionate work, packed
with essential insights and real-world applications indispensable
for parents, educators, and other professional involved with
children with learning disabilities.
