Special Kid to Super Kid: Overcoming Learning Disability, Language Delay, and Autism

by Ruthangela Bernadette

Overview

Unleash Your Hidden Superhero Powers and Help Your Child

When a child is diagnosed with learning disability, language delay, and autism, your world crumbles and panic takes over. Why me? Who will look after my kid when I’m gone? Disabilities like these can rob your child of self-esteem and dash your hopes and dreams for their future.

But it doesn’t have to be like this. Author Ruthangela Bernadette knows this first-hand.

Sometimes harrowing, sometimes laugh out loud funny, this book tells the story of how Ruthangela’s daughter, Rosemary, defied the doctors’ gloomy predictions and overcame all three disabilities.

Discover the 10 Secrets of how Rosemary triumphed over autism, learning disability, and language delay, without breaking the bank. Your child will

• Improve social interaction, while reducing stims.
• Make friends and gain confidence.
• Transform school from being a battleground of obstacles into a playground of opportunities.

Not all superheroes wear capes—some wear aprons in the kitchen instead. Parents like you are superheroes! You can help your child go from super-stuck to super kid—starting today!

Ruthangela Bernadette is an author, speaker, coach, and supermum who launched her daughter from Special Kid to Super Kid. Her passion is to inspire and empower parents to do likewise, but that’s only her day job. Her real job is raising her eye-rolling, door slamming, make-up wearing super daughter, and of course saving the universe before dinner time.
