Defending and Parenting Children Who Learn Differently

Autor Scott Teel
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 noi 2009
We all know Thomas Edison was a genius of seemingly limitless imagination. Yet few know that he was a failure in elementary school. Teel shows us how Edison's mother, Nancy, guided the boy who was deemed a dunce by officials-even assumed mentally retarded by his father-to become one of the greatest inventors of all time. Edison's progressive and imaginative teaching methods hold lessons for all children who learn differently from conventional methods and for the parents and teachers who care about them. Teel also explains how parents can negotiate the educational maze created by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). An Individualized Education Program is explained in detail, and options such as enlisting the assistance of a professional advocate are also discussed. The latest research about current medication therapies and the origins/potential benefits of ADHD are reviewed. A leading professional advocate explains what every parent needs to know about the public school system. Other topics addressed include the effectiveness of homeschooling and parental and student rights. Teel also offers an extensive list of local and national resources.

Descriere

This book shows us how Edison's mother, Nancy, guided the boy who was deemed a dunce by officials_even assumed mentally retarded by his father_to become one of the greatest inventors of all time. Edison's progressive and imaginative teaching methods hold lessons for all children who learn differently from conventional methods and for the parents and teachers who care about them.

Recenzii

In contrast to the success he enjoyed as an adult, Thomas Edison's early school career was a dismal failure. In this resource for parents of children who learn differently particularly those with ADHD freelance writer Teel draws lessons from the story of Edison and his mother, whose progressive teaching methods helped her son to develop his talents. Teel also discusses a number of practical considerations for navigating today's school systems. Topics include professional special education advocates, homeschooling, self-esteem, and the medication question.
