LEARNING DISABILITIES FROM A PARENT’S PERSPECTIVE:
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TO
HELP, UNDERSTAND & ADVOCATE FOR YOUR CHILD
by Kim E. Glenchur, MA, MBA

SAN FRANCISCO—When parents sense that their child may have a learning disability, they often feel confused and overwhelmed. They face an unfamiliar vocabulary of acronyms and labels, a confusing array of legal and medical concepts, and emotions that only parents in a similar situation can fully understand.

In this powerful and insightful guide, Glenchur explains how parents must educate themselves so they can “manage” the many professionals they will encounter in the process of assisting their child from elementary through high school. The book reviews resources on specific learning disabilities, AD/HD, and Asperger’s syndrome.
