This book is based on the author's clinical experience as director
of a program in the paediatrics department of a large teaching
hospital that assesses and treats a broad range of learning
problems. He has consulted with thousands of families, explaining
complex data in straightforward terms understandable to the
parents. He coined the term "shut-down learner" to describe
children who thrive with hands-on tasks requiring visual and
spatial abilities, but who become discouraged by their difficulty
mastering core academic skills such as reading and writing. As many
as 40% of Americans experience problems with these core skills, and
a significant proportion of them are spatial thinkers. This book is
packed with techniques that parents can use to help their shut-down
learner succeed in school and in life. In a friendly, non-technical
style, the author helps them understand their child's
characteristics and offers specific approaches to break the
downward spiral.
