Summary: Well organized and well written
Comment: First, you don't need your highlighter for this book! At the end of each chapter, the author does it for you. I found this book informative and helpful.
My favorite chapter was Chapter 7: Managing the Environment, it gives an overview of how hard and confusing life can be for a child with NLD. Great to read again & again if you find you are losing patience with your NLD child. I also often copy the first 6 pages of this chapter and give it to those that work with my child; in the hopes they will have the necessary empathy in working with my child.

Summary: Disappointed
Comment: I found this book dissappointing. It gives readers misinformation that can make symptoms of NLD worse, not better. For example, the author encourages the readers to allow video/computer play stating it "builds eye-hand coordination". Not only will this NOT develop eye-hand (that comes from anticipating a three dimensional object coming to you in space and manipulating the hands to accurately receive it" but fixation on computers often leads away from motor development and soical interaction. We don't need more misinformatoin about NLD.

Summary: A Helping Hand for Parents
Comment: Pam Tanguay writes from considerable experience: she is one of the founders of NLD on the Web, an award winning website which disseminates information about NLD. For the parent wondering if NLD is a framework that fits her or his child, as well as for the parent who wants concrete suggestions about how to support a child with NLD at home, this book is a wellspring of information. The book is formatted to be a companion of sorts; well designed to make it handy for consultation over the years as various issues and challenges are tackled. As well, there is a comprehensive annotated bibliography and a list of organizations and internet resources. As an educator of children and teachers, as well as a parent of a child with NLD, I recommend this book as a 'must read' for both parents and educators.
