"Success stories of people that range from age 12-62. Some are famous including Pat Buckly Moss, an artist whose work is known worldwide, and Paul Orfalea, who is founder and Chairperson of Kinko's. Others are less famous, but also have lessons to teach. Most of the stories involve academic issues, but some workplace incidents are included."

I would like to add a few things to this initial review. The book has great, easy-to-read print. It is inspiring. I loved each story. It is very worth reading.


Helping LD students  Jul 18, 2011 By Heliotrope
This book profiles people who have learning challenges and is very encouraging for students, tutors, parents, and teachers. It details the personal struggles and triumphs of individuals in all walks of life, and has tips gathered from personal experiences.
It is an invaluable teaching tool for parents as well as students and teachers. It gives ideas useful for creative solutions to learning problems. It gives perspectives on the nature of learning abilities that each person does have, and shows how each individual used abilities they possess to become successful.
The classroom curriculum is frequently designed for one mode of learning, only. An awareness of the different learning styles of students is important so that all students may reach maximum learning potential and escape the emotional distress that learning differences bring to classroom settings.
