information that is practical and quick to find in the very user-friendly

"The
Mislabeled Child
is a practical book that will be a vital resource for parents of children with
learning and behavior disorders, as well as essential reading for educators,
counselors, and healthcare professionals. Clearly written and solidly based,
this book describes concrete strategies to help children with learning problems
retrain and develop their brain. All too often children are given an incorrect
label, and their parents are not given accurate and specific activities that
they can use to help their children. This marvelous and clearly-written book
provides answers for many perplexing children. I wholeheartedly endorse this
book and plan to recommend it widely."

"This is the kind of book that parents will want to keep out and refer to again
and again. The book provides a comprehensive, common sense, and scientifically
insightful overview of the causes and behaviors associated with a number of
learning problems. This is done in a refreshingly 'nonpathologizing' manner.
It also provides interventions designed to help each child overcome challenges
by identifying and emphasizing learning abilities to achieve their maximum
learning potential.

"As informed physicians and informative writers, the Eides delineate children's
mystifying behavior and ways to help them get in sync. For all of us who care
about children with unlabeled or mislabeled needs, this book is a must!"

"With their new book, the
Eides have rendered a valuable public service in helping professionals,
laypersons and parents better understand complex, often subtle or
self-contradictory mixes of talents and educational difficulties. They have
helped us differentiate more clearly between various traits and labels, always
looking deeply into the diverse nature of each individual. This is important
work. Some of our brightest and most creative minds hang in the balance."
- Thomas G. West, author In the Mind's Eye and Thinking Like Einstein

"This book is absolutely the best resource available that clearly explains
the learning challenges facing children. I think that every educator and health
professional who works with children and teens should read it and use it as a
basic reference. It will also be on my recommended list for parents that are
seeking help for their children."
Margaret Gayle, Executive Director for the American Association for Gifted
Children at Duke University and Co-Author, Educational Renaissance

learning problems, this book provides a comprehensive look at learning
differences ranging from dyslexia to dysgraphia, to attention problems, to
giftedness. In The Mislabeled Child, the authors describe how a proper
understanding of a child's unique brain-based strengths can be used to overcome
many different obstacles to learning. They show how often, children are
mislabeled with diagnoses that are too broad (ADHD, for instance) or are simply
inaccurate. They also explain why medications are often not be the best ways to
help children who are struggling to learn. The authors guide parents,
educators, and other professionals through the morass of commonly used labels
and treatments, offering specific helping suggestions that can be used to help
children at school and at home. This book offers extremely empowering
information for parents and professionals alike.
