reviewed A Special Mother: Getting Through the Early Days of a Child's Diagnosis of Learning Disabilities and Related Disorders on January 26, 2018 A Special Mother
I read this book as part of the parent book club at my daughter's school. This is a great read if you are just starting to navigate your way through a new learning disability diagnosis. Even though we have had our diagnosis for a while, I still found it very encouraging and hopeful.
The second half of the book discusses navigating life with a chid that has an LD and I could relate so much, I felt like they were telling my story. I highly recommend this book.
