Right Brained Children in a Left Brained World
Well written, not just for children with asphergers/autism. Great for children that require other methods for learning.

Parent advocation and Home supplementation guide
2/24/2008 Of all 6 books I have read on the subject and websites I've bookmarked, this book is the most concretely helpful, as it covers how to teach visual learners to spell, calculate, SPEED!!! read and write based on their learning style. Yet it also covers research and science of ADD well in the opening chapters. It also gives excellent advice on working with public schools or finding alternative options - including what to look for and 12 suggestions for creating right-brained classrooms. Tips on fostering discipline and organization, two important skills that visual learners typically lack, is also very useful. TV should be limited to 1 hour a day and the child taught that family time, chores, exercise, 1 or 2 extra-curriculars, UNSTRUCTURED play and homework are more beneficial and will be the primary focus of free time. The troubleshooting section not only provides important insight but proves how very thoughtfully the authors approach the subject from years of practice in diagnosing (pg. 49 provides symptom checklist) and effectively treating those labeled ADD ("better" know as Edison trait individuals or visual learners, or as the authors prefer "a hyperimpulsive random visual learner"). Living in Denver, the references to great specialists and schools in my area was a fantastic bonus!

Required reading for any child "labeled" ADD or ADHD or any Teacher!
This book is incredible. All of my child's teachers wanted me to drug her to keep her in their style of learning "box". After reading this book, I found many tips and tricks to deal with her visual learning style and also it helped me to realize just how special she is!! It can be difficult raising a child who has been labeled ADHD but this book makes you realize how luck you are to have such a special child and that it isn't a bad thing, it's just different!

This book should be required reading for ALL teachers and administrators!!
