Read an Excerpt

Many children struggle with learning as well as attention and hyperactivity problems that impair their ability to succeed in the classroom. Perhaps you have a child with a problem like this and are struggling to help them. Maybe you find yourself confused about how to help. You are not alone. Learning problems, left unaddressed, can result in lifelong difficulties. There is a cascading effect with one problem leading to another. For example, a child who struggles to pay attention can quickly find himself getting into trouble at school. Soon his grades may suffer. Difficult paying attention and staying on task can lead to difficulty learning. These problems can result in a child feeling ostracized in the classroom and experiencing multiple peer problems. Eventually these difficulties can impact earning potential and important life decisions. The longer these problems continue, the more likely they are to lead to further problems.
