Disabled Books

I originally purchased this book because my child is a patient of Dr. Gordon's. I not only bought the book (and the worksheet book not shown here) for myself, but I quickly purchased a set for my child's school and my sister as well.

The information and approach are straight forward, easy to understand and most of all, easy to implement. They don't just give you a way to "solve a problem", they teach you the core theories, which then enable the family and school to customize their approach.
I have purchased many "ADD" books, and this one far surpasses in quality and presentation. The second runner up (and has more worksheet templates inside) is "Add/Adhd Behavior-Change Resource Kit : Ready-To-Use Strategies & Activities for Helping Children With Attention Deficit Disorder".

If you purchase this book, I STRONGLY recommend that you also purchase the accompanying workbook, The AD/HD forms book: Identification, measurement, and intervention. [Contains 30 forms and checklists for children and adolescents with ADD/ADHD] ...

I am satisfied to be able to by a book which have been impossible to by in Norway in this edition so far, i.e. 8th edition.

This book was delivered in perfect condition, better than dealer said. It also arrived promptly.

This book is amazing! Although the focus is mainly on conducting Intelligence Interviews, it offers a plethora of strategies to use both in the classroom and at home. The book encourages you to determine each students' intelligence profile and then to implement learning strategies that will complement the way they learn. It is highly organized and very easy to follow.

This a great textbook and I stress the word great. The textbook offers guidence in defining terms, working with families, and facilitating futures for individuals who have been diagnosed with moderate to severe disabilities. Teachers and future teachers of the special education field will find everthing they need to know. The information presented is clear and understandable which is a relief, compared to various other textbooks.

This sequel to "I Can Learn" is more of Goodman's hands on practical learning that is not only good for those "Gray-Area" children ,who don't qualify for special education due to their 70-90 range IQs, it is full of great tools to use with ALL children. I recommend it to any educator, regular or special ed., who longs to keep kids engaged and making progress.

I have used this text this year in my motor learning class. It covers all the basics from both a motor program view as well as a dynamic systems view and is a must for any student interested in teaching, coaching or applying motor learning techniques to their everyday lives.

Not just a how-to book, but a wide-ranging and highly functional resource containing vast amounts of detailed information about program planning, assessment, and treatment. Its real strength lies in the fact that the practical suggestions for treatment are accompanied by strong theory and process-oriented examples for applying strategies and techniques.

If you are a music therapist or special education professional, we think you will find these clearly defined guidelines, case samples, and step-by-step instructions will enable you to bring about dramatic improvements in both adults and children with Autistic Spectrum Disorders.

This book uses a phonics approach, but in a way that is easier for children to grasp. My son was in 6th grade and all the reading specialists in the district couldn't teach him to even read a 1st grade EZ reader. I went to the library and just by chance picked this book out. After I began using it, he was starting to read within a few days, and by the end of the month, was reading short stories! He now tests at high school level. I know it sounds too good to be true - but it really happened that way. The teachers were confounded- no other word for it. Basically, Ms. Stevenson starts with long vowels instead of short, uses no pictures (which distract), starts from the middle of words instead of the beginning, and many other different techniques that children with difficulties just naturally tap into. They learn to decode. This book has all the actual lessons in it, over a hundred of them and is very simple to use. You just do a lesson a day with some review. It works just as well with children without reading difficulties - my second son used this for reading also. I wish this book was still in print and had better visibility, because I am sure it is the answer for many others.

Robert Perske convincingly demonstrates that persons with retardation and other disabilities are capable of functioning in the mainstream of community life. He specifically approaches the issue of those persons moving into otherwise "average" neighborhoods. With insight and compassion, he shows how their presence in the neighborhoods can be a uniquely positive experience.
