Teaching a child with special needs can be both a rewarding and a daunting task. There are many recommended approaches, and it's a challenge to determine which is the most effective. Although disabilities and skill levels can vary, there is no substitute for the dedication of a teacher or parent striving to unlock a child's true potential.

In this helpful guide, Lillian Reider shares with you the innovative methods she's developed during over thirty years as a special-needs teacher. Reider has worked with all kinds of learning disabilities, such as autism, dyslexia, and developmental aphasia.
