At last, a user-friendly guide for parents of children with learning disabilities. From homework and special projects to chores and IEP meetings, L.D. From The Inside Out  covers it all. Inside you will find dozens of tried and true strategies, checklists to help you guide you, and heartwarming stories of other kids who have fought the L.D. monster and won.

This book will change the way you look at learning disabilities forever. It will help you see  the intelligent, creative person your child is  and to  recognize his or her unique gifts. Most importantly, it will give you back the hope of a bright future for your child.  

     Carolyn Lampman Brubaker writes from twenty years of experience as the mother of four children with learning disabilities, twenty-one years as a special education teacher, and a life-time of dealing with her own learning disabilities.  She truly does know learning disabilities from the inside out.

What people are saying about L.D. From the Inside Out:

    Thank you!  Thank you!  Thank you!

  I'm writing this with tears in my eyes.  And if you knew me you'd know that doesn't happen often.  I feel as if I've just run an emotional roller-coaster.

I flew out of town Monday morning having read the two chapters you sent at one sitting.  I flew back home last night - I just finished chapters 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12.  I'm supposed to be working or at least getting ready for work - but I couldn't stop reading.

  Now for the emotional part - I never knew.  Never understood before.   When I saw the reading section, I became angry.  When I read the math section, I cried.  I've spent the morning telling my husband - "Why didn't someone tell us?  Why couldn't someone have explained these things to us?"  We could have helped our son so much if we only had known.  So much has become clear to me -the social issues, the chores, the unseen giftedness.  I can only hope that other parents get the chance to read this - and soon.

"It was so easy to read and understand.  The suggestions were very helpful.  I want the book.  Where can I get it?" 

Bonnie Soomerfield- Mother of a seven-year old with LD.

"We get requests for a book like this on a daily basis but have nothing of this caliber to recommend. This book has the kinds of tips and accommodations that can help parents of children with all kinds of learning differences meet the challenges of helping their children succeed.  The author truly understands from every point of view how frustrating it sometimes is to find a way to help a child learn.  I only wish it had been available years ago when my child was young.  We would have saved countless hours of trial and error in our quest for the right techniques."

My friend--the mother of child with bipolar disorder and ADHD—loved the chapters of your manuscript. She said she would buy it and recommend it to her friends. She liked your anecdotes and personal touches: She felt like she was being talked to by a real person with real experience, instead of being lectured to by an "ivory tower expert."
