Provides invaluable information and practical strategies to empower neurodiverse children to thrive.
Globally, the prevalence of children with challenges has increased dramatically. Unfortunately, these children are often labeled as "bad," "stupid," or "lazy." They are frequently left feeling totally helpless and despondent about their problems, blaming themselves for their poor performance. It's essential for parents, caregivers, and teachers to understand how to support these kids to ensure their success. In Your Neurodiverse Child: How to Help Kids with Learning, Attention, and Neurocognitive Challenges Thrive, Dr. Nechama Sorscher educates the reader on how to identify and work with children with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), Learning Disorders (LD), and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). She explains each disorder in a clear and accessible manner, debunks myths and misconceptions about neurodiverse children, and includes the latest research, interventions, and modification recommendations. With a wealth of experience, Dr. Sorscher also provides practical strategies to nurture each child and empower them to find success in all areas of life, whether on the playground, in the classroom, or at home. Featuring compelling stories of children who have confronted these challenges, Your Neurodiverse Child shows how identification and intervention can change a child's pattern of failure to success. It offers parents and educators crucial insights to help foster a loving relationship where children are accepted for their differences and given the tools to thrive.Author Biography
