“Linda Siegel’s richly informative and highly readable book shows that untreated learning disabilities lie behind anti-social behaviour, teenage ‘acting out,’ and widescale social problems. Yet many are remarkably successful despite learning disabilities. This book demonstrates both sides, pointing to practical, inexpensive measures. Educators and policy-makers everywhere should take heed. It is a ‘must-read.'”
—W. Wesley Pue, Professor of Law, University of British Columbia
