A "must read" for students, parents and educators"

Straight Talk About Learning Disabilites is a "must read" for parents, students and teachers dealing with learning disabilities. The author's "straight forward" style is refreshing amid the lenghtly books and technical research journal excerpts about learning disabilities. She fully explains learning disabilities in a simple, direct and concise style that makes for easy reading and comprehension. The author does a great job explaining the often-confusing and overwhelming student evaluation and diagnosis process and developing Individual Education Programs (IEP). I found the legal portion of the book extremely informative and helpful as well as easy to understand. Kay Marie Porterfield writes about her own disability in the Preface, "Scatterbrain," which I found entertaining, enlightening and inspiring. She proves to be a credible source and knows first-hand what she's writing about. Although it's written primarily for young adults, everyone,including parents, educators and peers should read the book to better understand learning disabilities. I've read many books and research articles aboutlearning disabilities, this is the first one I found that clearly summarizes what it means to be learning disabled. I highly recommend this easy-to-read book. It lives up to its title!
