LD is an ill-conceived, but well-intentioned, movement that has run
amok and is placing millions of youth on a disabling trajectory
toward failure and low self-esteem. There is no generally accepted
definition of LD and no evidence that LD programs help students.
The central theme of this book is that all children are capable of
learning. It is the trappings of educational practice--the
labeling, testing, segregation by exceptionality, poor instruction,
and committee-generated curricula--that have caused children to be
condemned to the second-class status of LD. Good teaching is what
leads to learning. Finlan offers suggestions to parents of what to
do to avoid having their children labeled, to take charge of their
own children's education and not leave it entirely up to the
so-called experts.
