Diamonds in the Rough is an invaluable multidisciplinary reference guide to learning disabilities for educators, health specialists, parents, and librarians. The author has painted a clear picture of the atypical learner with a step-by-step view of the learning disabled child.
This carefully researched guide includes: learning styles and strategies; what parents, physicians, and educators can do; how LD students can help themselves; legal rights and resources for the LO. This second edition has been updated to include: information on LO/ADD addiction links; transitions; vocational resources; chemical dependency information; and information on residential treatment centers. A book list, a glossary of commonly used terms, and a guide to support services and resources are also provided.
