Editorial Reviews

‘Dr Swaroop Rawal has written a clear and comprehensive book on specific learning disability which will be very informative for doctors, school teachers and parents of children diagnosed with this condition. In this book, Dr Swaroop Rawal has documented in a very endearing manner her interactions with two learning disabled children who attended her “learning life skills through drama” classes. I was deeply touched when I read these two real life success stories and I am sure that in the years to come, Dr Swaroop Rawals innovation will benefit many learning disabled children. - Dr Sunil Karande Professor of Pediatrics, Seth GS Medical College & KEM Hospital, Mumbai

‘I wish that I would have got this book much earlier when my daughter was very young as in those times none of the teachers understood what my child is suffering from. I had to struggle a lot to convince them that my child was normal. I feel this book should be read by all the teachers and parents as only after reading this they will be able to diagnose this condition and then manage the problem.’ - Sanju Dhir Parent of a child with learning disability

‘Dr Swaroop Rawals book will serve as a Bible to parents and teachers. The book rightly emphasises that such childrens brains process information differently. I fully subscribe to Dr Rawals views that learning disability is an aberration and not disease. The section on Social Factors and Tips to teachers and parents are indeed very pertinent and I am confident that it will enable educators and parents to bring out the latent talents in such children. A must for each school library! An invaluable add-on to parents collection of books on Parenting!!’ - Gita Nath Educator, Child Psychologist and Motivational Instructor

‘I seemed to have easily traversed into a journey extraordinaire through the maze of a dyselexic childs mind. It has broadened my perspective in dealing with their different behavioral patterns with more empathy. Highly recommendable and valuable manual for the entire teaching fraternity.’ - Anju Erry H.O.D English Dept., Guru Harkrishan Public School, Kalkaji, New Delhi
