 Emotional disorders and learning disabilities August 25, 2001

6 out of 7 found this review helpful
The author, Jean Cheng Gorman, is a licensed psychologist with a doctorate in Child and School Psychology from New York University and research interests in the emotional health and learning disabilities in children, but has also published on Chinese methods of parenting and culturally sensitive parenting programs. About 25% of the children today have some kind of learning disability with more prevalence among boys than girls and most child health clinicians will not have the time or skill to be directly involved in the assessment or management, but can play a key role in the screening, referring and helping the parents. This book is devided into two parts with an overview of learning disabilities and classroom interventions. The seven chapters are based on research with very practical interventions and advice for teachers in an easy to read, easy to understand and with a nice layout. We especially liked the introductions to each chapter with small and wise citations like: yThere is very little access to the brain when the heart is in painy or yLaughter is bettery. We believe this book to be a good practical resource for teachers working with children with learning disabilities....
