Learn how smart people with learning gaps struggle, survive, and
achieve
Smart But Stuck, Second Edition is an updated look at how smart
people with learning gaps can not only overcome them, but become
successful in learning and life. The new edition of this classic
explores the emotional aspects of learning disabilities and
imprisoned intelligence, showing how and why smart people with
learning disabilities are resilient in getting help in order to
struggle, survive, and achieve. The book also includes new material
on the relationship between learning disabilities and neuroscience
and a new foreword by Joseph Palombo, Founding Dean of the
Institute for Clinical Social Work in Chicago.
This unique and compelling new version takes into account that the
reader may have a learning disability, so it's easy to read and
understand. Topics build on each other so the reader's knowledge
becomes cumulative without dramatic effect and so emotional,
biological, and social issues are easily integrated as the reader
learns to turn a learning disability into an advantage.
From the author:
Resilience is the capacity to bounce back; in individuals with LD
it's a powerful tool. When people hit the chasm, shame is the
outcome. People can withdraw and give up. (Some people take solace
in substance abuse to ease the emotional pain.) Others keep trying.
In the process of not giving up, people learn to keep hope alive
because eventually new opportunities for learning become possible.
