Researchers enrolled 94 students who had reading problems and 94 similar subjects who were considered normal readers based on performance on a reading test taken at age 15. The study found that 19 percent of students who were poor readers had a history of either suicidal thoughts or attempts compared to 5 percent of students who were normal readers. Researchers also found that kids with reading problems were 10 percent more likely than normal readers to drop out of school, and that suicidal thoughts were strongly related to dropout rates.

Extractions: First, let me say that, as an adult with ADD, I find it very hard to see this uniqueness we have as a true disability. In the first place, it is hardly a deficit of attention, but more of an overabundance of it. The problem is actually more with the inability to avoid distraction - to ignore the many things that demand our attention while we are trying to focus on one. This is particularly troublsome in the classroom setting, where any disruption is met with stern condemnation, or else becomes too much accepted, leading to the child being ignored. Second, although some of the traits (such as hyper-activity) that can accompany ADD can be troublesome, especially in the schoolroom, and may even require medication to offset the chemical imbalances, I believe most of the differences/difficulties faced with ADD are simply differences in viewpoint. I don't mean opinion, but the basic way we look at the world. I tend to subscribe to the idea that we are

Extractions: Learning Problems, Causes and Treatments A learning disability is any physical or mental condition that interferes with learning. Learning disabilities can affect spoken or written language, coordination, self-control and attention. They can create problems with reading, writing, math and social interaction. Learning disabilities become apparent when comparing a child's development with other children of the same age. Since children develop at different rates, it is often difficult to diagnose mild learning problems before a child enters school. If you suspect a learning disorder, it is best to confront it early before the consequences multiply as the child ages. Common signs are delayed communication, regression of communication skills, difficulty interacting with peers, poor ability to follow directions, restless and distracted, unaware of surroundings and prone to accidents. What causes learning disabilities? Some disabilities are given names to help categorize children: aphasia, autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit disorder (ADD), attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), dyslexia. But these names are just labels that describe a range of symptoms. These names do not specify a root cause. Most researchers believe that these named disorders may be caused by a wide variety of genetic factors, infections, chemical imbalances, environmental stresses and so on. As such, any single medical or educational intervention will rate poorly in broad studies of learning disorders. However, specific interventions can have dramatic results for specific children. It is up to parents and teachers to find out what works for a particular individual. Note there are many similarities between disorders and normal behavior, so it is often difficult to classify a child.

Extractions: Some of the bad reviews for this book are scarey to read if you are a mom trying to help your child. They say it goes against scientific evidence and they use a lot of big words to make their case. My advice is to buy the book and try the Davis method for yourself. It worked for my 8 year old daughter and it is not cumbersome or complicated. After just the first "Orientation" session she went from reading one paragraph with 20 mistakes, to reading the same paragraph with NO mistakes. Ive also called the helpline at the back of the book whenever I got stuck implementing the program and they were always happy to give advice. If you are wading in a scientific sea of information on how to help your dyslexic child, this is one method you should not be afraid to try. It just might by the thing that works for you. Wouldnt you trade all the "scientific evidence" in the world for just one book that might help your child to read?
