Usually ships in 1 business days | | | | | | Raising NLD Superstars is essential reading for all those who come in to contact with children with non-verbal learning disorders (NLD). Instead of insisting upon the one size fits all model of intervention, the author focuses on the individual nature of NLD children and offers practical, adaptable advice that will help them find their place both in the family and in wider social groups.
The author shares her experiences of life as the parent of a child with NLD with humanity and humor. She looks not only at day to day practicalities such as making meal times easier for all the family and reaching compromises on inappropriate clothing choices but also at the long-term plan for independence. The book will help parents and carers to support children with NLD to reach their emotional and cognitive potential while taking into account the views and experiences of other family members. | | | |

 This was a great book! Mar 10, 2006
By Miriam L. Greenwald
"Concerned mom"
When I discovered my son had NLD, and started reading some of the books out there on this topic, I became very alarmed, because the ones I read indicated that his condition was very serious, and that he might not be able to lead a completely independent life.
Raising NLD Superstars reassured me that is is very possible to have a child who lives an independent and fulfilling adult life - this book relieved my anxiety! There are really good strategies here that help you as a parent cope and help your child. I highly recommend this book.

 Excellent, Informative, and Fun to Read Sep 09, 2005
By Priscilla Scherer
"a mom"
This book is not only informative, it's also fun and easy to read. If you have a child with any sort of learning disability, you will instantly identify with the pride and exasperation Marcia Brown Rubenstien portrays, as she takes you through the neuroscience and just about every possible scenario you'll address as a parent of a child with NLD--from home to school to restaurants to medical appointments, etc etc etc. Her descriptions of the children as well as the adults they interact with are on the mark and equally informative, and the key points that end each chapter are useful and, often, priceless.

Finally a book we can all relate to... Mar 20, 2006
By K. Dolan
Finally -- a book my husband and I could relate too. There is a whole chapter designated to "hurrying" and how it is almost impossible to hurry your NLD child. This is one book that really put it all into perspective for us and one I could actually get my husband to read.

I wish I had read this when my son was younger. Mar 15, 2007
By J. P. Perrett
This book is incredible for parents of NLD kids. Particularly if you are not sure, this book helps to identify these kids. Early identification can save both you and the child so much heartache. It also will help you to be much more proactive for your child in the school systems. Written with a large dose of humor, the book is so accurate a large box of tissues may be in order as you revisit those situations that have been painful in the past. The book helps to validate and explain what before was a mystery. It gives practical ideas to make life with the NLD kid more enjoyable for all. And very fast reading as well.

 Better than most of what's out there Nov 17, 2007
By J. L. Horn
There is embarrassingly little available for parents of children with NLD, and this book is not great but is better than most books. (The only one better is "NLD at school" by Tanguay.) This book at least does cover some of the basic issues that come up for children with NLD, but there is too much focus on how the author solved her own child's issues rather than providing a selection of ideas.
