Providing everything you need to know about Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLDs), this book is packed full of advice and practical strategies to help support and motivate children who learn differently.   
 
The first part of the book covers the most common SpLDs, from ADHD, visual processing difficulty and poor working memory through to Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Auditory Processing Disorder (APD), dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia and Specific Language Impairment. It explains clearly and concisely what each difficulty is, how it can affect a child's learning and how to help a child to succeed despite their difficulties. The second part of the book includes a host of tips, tools and strategies to support your child's efforts in areas such as reading, writing, spelling and handwriting, as well as advice on how to keep your child motivated through life's setbacks.   
 
Written by an experienced Educational Psychologist, this is a one-stop-shop for parents and carers who are looking for ways to support their child's learning, as well as for educators and teachers looking for advice on how to differentiate lessons and motivate pupils with SpLDs.
