As any parent, teacher, coach, or caregiver of a learning disabled child knows, every learning disability has a social component. The ADD child constantly interrupts and doesn't follow directions. The child with visual-spatial issues loses his belongings. The child with a nonverbal communication disorder fails to gesture when she talks. These children are socially out of step with their peers, and often they are ridiculed or ostracized for their differences. A successful social life is immeasurably important to a child's happiness, health, and development, but until now, no book has provided practical, expert advice on helping learning disabled children achieve social success.
For more than thirty years, Richard Lavoie has lived with and taught learning disabled children. His bestselling videos and sellout lectures and workshops have made him one of the most respected experts in the field. Rick's pioneering techniques and practical strategies can help children ages six to seventeen
- Overcome shyness and low self-esteem

It's So Much Work to Be Your Friend answers the most intense need of parents, teachers, and caregivers of learning disabled children -- or anyone who knows a child who needs a friend. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'No Child Left Different'Book summary:A stellar group of authors from across disciplines explains the alarming increase in the use of psychotropic medications, questions the causes, and presents disturbing thoughts regarding this phenomenon and the risks it creates for children. They take an in-depth look at the conditions that have led to drugging our children, and stress how emotional, social, cultural, and physical environments can both damage and heal young minds. And they challenge the model that maintains that psychological disturbance is genetic and thus requires medication. This is riveting reading for all who care about the youngest members of society.
Over the past 15 years, there has been a 300 percent increase in the use of psychotropic medications with girls and boys under the age of 20, and prescriptions for preschoolers have skyrocketed. A stellar group of authors from across disciplines explains this increase, questions the causes, and presents disturbing thoughts regarding this phenomenon as they describe the risks it creates for children. While there are certainly extreme cases where drugs are the only option, medication rather than psychotherapy and counseling has become the first choice for treatment rather than a last resort.
The experts who joined forces for this book take an in-depth look at the conditions that have led to drugging our children, and stress how emotional, social, cultural, and physical environments can both damage and heal young minds. The so-called medical model, one maintaining that psychological disturbance is genetic and thus requires medication, is challenged in this volume. Contributors range from a pediatrician who has testified before Congress and been featured in a Time magazine cover story, to a top child psychiatrist who is an official for the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, along with a well-known child psychiatrist, psychologists, environmentalists, and a public policy consultant. This is riveting reading for all who care about the youngest members of society.
Among other issues, this work looks at controversy over whether psychiatric medications are safe or effective for childrenand what little we know about their effect on still-developing brainsas well as the role of corporate interests in the increased use of psychotropics for children. Chapters address the role of environment in both causing and curing disorders more and more often diagnosed in our youngsters: from ADHD, depression, and anxiety to eating disorders. The core questions addressed by this sage group of contributors are these: Why are so many children being diagnosed with psychiatric disturbances and given drugs? Why have drugs become the first treatment of choice to deal with those disorders?

› Find signed collectible books: 'Ready Or Not, Here Life Comes'Book summary:Every parent wants to know, "What will he be like when he's in his twenties?" After decades of observing children grow into young adults, Dr. Mel Levine, nationally known pediatrician and author, addresses the question of why some youngsters make a successful transition into adulthood while others do not.
In recent years, says Dr. Levine, we have experienced an epidemic of career unreadiness as too many young people begin what he calls "the startup years" unprepared for the challenge of initiating a productive life. Parents and schools often raise children in a highly structured world of overscheduled activities, meeting kids' demands for immediate gratification but leaving them unable to cope on their own. Instead of making a smooth transition into adulthood, many youngsters find themselves trapped in their teenage years, traveling down the wrong career road, unable to function in the world of work. These young people have failed, says Dr. Levine, to properly assess their strengths and weaknesses and have never learned the basics of choosing and advancing through the stages of a career.
Dr. Levine urges that schools focus less on college prep (which, he points out, generally means "college admissions prep") and instead teach "life prep," equipping adolescents with what they will need to succeed as adults. He identifies these skills as falling within four growth processes, "the four I's": inner direction, or self-awareness; interpretation, or understanding the outside world; instrumentation, or the acquisition of mental tools; and interaction, or the ability to relate to other people effectively. It is these abilities that ensure a successful transition into the startup years of early adulthood. Parents, schools, and adolescents themselves can all work together to improve work-life readiness, and Dr. Levine shows how. He even offers advice for young adults who find themselves unable to navigate the world of careers.
Insightful, wise, and compassionate, Ready or Not, Here Life Comes is a powerful commentary on our times and a book that can help adolescents and startup adults -- with an assist from parents and educators -- to spring from the starting gate of adulthood. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Mentes diferentes, aprendizajes diferentes :Un modelo educativo para desarrollar el potencial individual de cada nino / Different Minds, Different Learning: Un modelo educativo para desarrollar el potencial individual de cada nino'Book summary:Cada mente aprende de una manera distinta, afirma el doctor Mel Levine, uno de los expertos en pediatría y educación de más prestigio en la actualidad. Y eso constituye un problema para muchos niños, pues la mayor parte de los centros educativos siguen aferrándose a la filosofía de ofrecer una sola educación para todos. El resultado es que estos niños tienen dificultades en los estudios porque sus pautas de aprendizaje no acaban de encajar con la enseñanza que reciben. En este libro, el doctor Levine enseña a los padres, y a todas las personas interesadas en el tema, a identificar las pautas de aprendizaje propias de cada niño, a fomentar sus cualidades y a subsanar sus defectos con el fin de transformar el fracaso y la frustración en satisfacción y sensación de logro. El doctor Levine nos explica que cada cerebro está construido de una manera diferente. Hay ocho sistemas o componentes fundamentales del aprendizaje que hacen uso de diversas funciones neuroevolutivas. Ciertos alumnos destacan en unas áreas y otros destacan en otras: ninguno tiene la misma capacidad en todas. Algunos niños son muy creativos y escriben con mucha imaginación, pero rinden mal en Historia porque las deficiencias de su memoria les impiden retener sucesos y fechas. Otros no han desarrollado mentalmente una buena ordenación secuencial y les cuesta seguir instrucciones. Pueden rendir mal en los exámenes y fracasar en matemáticas... En fin, mediante ejemplos extraídos de su dilatada experiencia, el doctor Levine nos enseña a identificar las virtudes y las carencias de los niños para que podamos determinar cuál es su propio estilo de aprendizaje.
