An estimated 10 percent to 30 percent of people living in the United States are learning disabled. Only recently has the taboo subject become an accepted and more understood part of society. Many celebrities, such as Whoopi Goldberg, Tom Cruise and Salma Hayek, have begun to share their struggles with dyslexia and ADD in an attempt to help the millions of children struggling with such learning disabilities deal with the fear of inadequacy.
Rob Langston is dyslexic. He is also the author of For the Children, Redefining Success in School and Success in Life, a personal journey through the trials children face when trying to cope with a learning disability. Having first-hand knowledge of learning disorders, Langston has singled out truths that allowed him to redefine success in school and in life.

reviewed For the Children: Redefining Success in School and Success in Life on February 07, 2016 For the Children
This is probably the best book I've ever read about LD. Seriously, this book is better than 80% of the conversations I had with experts about my child -- and how sad is that?
That said, the book is hard. Before you read this book, your child should have a diagnosis of some sort, and you should understand that diagnosis a bit. Appendix A of Fine Until Kindergarten gives a good overview of every LD diagnosis.
In order to really understand this book, I actually wrote the contents of each chapter onto file cards and taped them onto a bulletin board. Yes, there's that much information in this book. My biggest frustration is that, although the book goes down to about five levels of sections, the table of contents only goes to two levels, so I kept getting confused. Seriously, adding two more levels to the TOC would fix things.
The Eides are brilliant, and they tell you in-depth information about every aspect of your child's challenges. Plus, this is the only book I've ever read that does a good job of explaining working memory and working memory challenges. Highly recommended, but make sure that you have context first.
