- Parenting dyslexia : a comprehensive guide to helping kids combat shame, build confidence, and achieve their true potential / by Rappaport, Lisa,author.; Lyons, Jody,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Licensed psychologist and authority on dyslexia (who is also dyslexic herself) Lisa Rappaport offers a practical guide to help parents and others support dyslexic learners--15 million kids in the US--throughout their school years. Fifteen million children in the United States have been diagnosed with dyslexia. This learning disability is a major challenge not only for the kids, but also for their parents, families, teachers, tutors, and therapists. And yet, dyslexia doesn't have to be a disadvantage for kids--if the right tools are available. Parenting Dyslexia fills this critical need, providing prescriptive advice and concrete tips to drive educational and personal growth without any associated stigma. An easy-to-use, comprehensive reference book for anyone caring for a dyslexic child to use at all stages of development, Parenting Dyslexia effectively anticipates and addresses the psychosocial and academic issues that dyslexic learners are likely to face at different stages, including: Cultivating varied skills to balance out classic deficits. Developing effective self-esteem and academic habits to help overcome age-specific hurdles. Establishing individual and family practices to prevent a child's feelings of isolation, anxiety, and depression. Survival tools to navigate the predictable challenges a dyslexic learner will likely encounter. Nurturing independence as well as a child's ability to ask for help and become a strong self-advocate. The book provides an accessible roadmap of how to: Move through the major hurdles of dyslexia. Reassure children that not only can they survive dyslexia, but they can thrive using sound psychosocial and academic practices. Avoid typical pitfalls of a well-intentioned campaign to push a child to succeed that can lead to frustration and resistance. Unite family members to be part of the family "team" to supply special support for their dyslexic learner. Create an atmosphere of fun and humor to help everybody maintain perspective during stressful moments. Dr. Rappaport is not only an authority on the subject, but she also happens to be dyslexic herself. From her unique vantage point, she provides a relatable, sympathetic, and optimistic voice of personal experience to this sensitive topic. Grounded in science but written in non-technical language, Parenting Dyslexia offers a wealth of tried-and-true methods for supporting dyslexic learners of all ages"--- Subjects: Dyslexia.; Dyslexic children; Dyslexic children.; Parenting.;

- Remedies for sorrow : an extraordinary child, a secret kept from pregnant women, and a mother's pursuit of the truth / by Nix, Megan,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."An inspiring memoir and work of fierce advocacy by a mother whose child is born deaf, leading her to investigate and expose a preventable virus that causes more childhood disabilities than any other--but is kept quiet by the medical community. One virus causes more birth defects and disabilities in children than any other infectious disease, yet 93% of Americans don't know it exists. In 2015, after an outwardly uneventful pregnancy, Megan Nix's second daughter, Anna, was born terribly small and failed her newborn hearing test. Megan and her husband learned that Anna is completely deaf and could have lifelong delays due to an infection in the womb with cytomegalovirus, or CMV, a disease Megan unknowingly contracted from her toddler during pregnancy. While doctors warn pregnant women against the risks of saunas, sushi, and unpasteurized cheese, they don't mention that CMV is contagious in the saliva of one out of three toddlers, spread through a kiss, a shared cup, a bite of unfinished toast. Anna's diagnosis led Megan to years of in-depth research, uncovering a shocking fact: obstetricians in the United States are advised not to mention CMV to women during their pregnancies. Unfolding across the dramatic landscape of Sitka, Alaska, where Megan's husband makes his living as a salmon fisherman, Remedies for Sorrow is lyrically written and a searing critique of the paternalistic practice of "benevolent deception" in medicine"--- Subjects: Biographies.; Autobiographies.; Personal narratives.; Nix, Megan.; Abnormalities, Human; Cytomegalovirus infections; Maternal health services; Parents of children with disabilities; Prenatal diagnosis; Virus diseases in pregnancy;
