LD kids need audio books!
Rating  (1)

An audio version of this book is desparately needed! Please make this book, and others that address ADD, LD and issues that young adults with these issues face available in audio. These young people are overwhelmed by the printed page, in many cases. The books have relevant, important information that they will absorb if they have access to it in a version other than the printed, overwhelming page. Thank you for your consideration of this request.

Grate book for LD

A wonderful, funny, informative and helpful book. The magic is in the details, introducing first the strengths and then the weaknesses of each child, the names of the kids and dogs and the procedure for diagnosis and treatment. My son finally gained a vocabulary of the different kinds of minds, so now he can say I may have ADHD but I may also be as grate as "ever ready Eddie".

Self Disclosure

I am a psychologist that works with children and adults. I read Dr. Levine's self disclosure to on of my kids. It is important for people who are not classifyable within the Special Education system to get help before the bright star of learning burns out or explodes into anger. My experience over the past 28 years has caused me to develop a similar approach. I suggested to a psychologist friend who has ADD to read this. It wasn't me talking to him but a book. Dr. Levine writes for "Everyman." His target is not the professional but the customer. It is a way to become an informed motivated consumer of intervention for children and adults. I have been inspired to write my own book. Wonder if I can be half as effective?

After 5 1/2 years of intensive phonics training, vision therapy, private tutoring and stress beyond belief, I picked up this book at the library. It was the answer to a prayer. Using the info presented in this book along with "A Mind at a Time" also by Levine, we were able to finally get my son on the right track. If you have a child with a learning problem of any kind I couldn't recommend these books any more highly. I saw a reviewer mention that the book is written to children and so they found it boring, but I think that reading this book helped me see what I had been missing all along, my child's perspective.

Great book to read with the Guidelines (sold separately)

Hello. This is the 2nd Dr. Levine book I've purchased and read. The scenarios are simple enough for me to read with my 5 year old son (diagnosed with fine motor/graphomotor dysfunction.) Some reviewers were not satisfied that this is a book geared for children. It's far better utilized if the book is used with the "Guidelines for All Kinds of Minds" which is sold separately. The guidelines present the lesson format that instructors should use when teaching with All Kinds of Minds. Even though I'm not a teacher, I am able to use the suggestions in the Guidelines to help my son through a difficult learning period. I am so much more well informed now. Thank you Dr. Levine!
