No Easy Answers : The Learning Disabled Child at Home and at School By Mark L. Batshaw, M.D. Buy the Book Reviewer: Allison Martin Sally Smith, the author of No Easy Answers : The Learning Disabled Child at Home and at School , is the founder and director of the Lab School of Washington. The Lab School is renowned for its approach to the education of children with learning disabilities. No Easy Answers is a well known classic about learning disabilities in children. This book stands out for its overview of the characteristics of children with various learning disabilities and the impact of learning disabilities on a childÂs life, family and functioning in school. One of the features that remains so outstanding about this book is the in-depth analysis of the emotional and educational impact of coping with learning disabilities on the child, parent and teacher. Her approach is both sympathetic and practical. Many parents will feel a sense of relief to find themselves and their children described in a knowledgeable and considerate manner. This book also can help put your difficulties in context, as you may find that only parts of the book relate to your child - as it likely that your child has only some of the learning disability issues described or may have difficulties that are less severe in a number of areas. | |
