Summary: A Parent's Answer
Comment: This book was a God-send just at the time of giving up on the school system-- I took charge and looked for an answer to why my son who was so bright has hated school since Kindergarten. I found out why in this book!! The author lovingly and astutely explains how and at what point the learning process can break down. I was able to pinpoint that area in my son and then use the practical advice Ms. Vail offered. AN ABSOLUTELY MUST BOOK FOR FUTURE TEACHERS (and parents seeking understanding and practical advice). TEACHERS NEED TO BE ABLE TO "SEE" A CHILD WHO IS FALLING THROUGH THE CRACKS BECAUSE OF A STRUGGLE HE/SHE IS HAVING WITH AN UNRECOGNIZED LEARNING BREAKDOWN.

Summary: Smart Kids with School Problems
Comment: A very insightful book that explains how a child can demonstrate both brilliance and learning difficulties. The section on testing gave a wonderful explanation of common assessments, exploring the intricacies of scores typically found in these kids.
Rating: 5
Summary: only good book on kids both gifted & learning disabled
Comment: This may seem contradictory, but a fairly significant number of people struggle with the double problem of being both gifted and learning disabled. Priscilla Vail has been there, in all roles, child, adult, parent, teacher, and counselor. She shares what she learned the hard way in a warm, easy-to-read style with plenty of common sense and compassion. The book was an enormous help to me at a time when I needed it, not least by reassuring me that our family was not alone in facing these problems. I have recommended it to everyone I know who is involved with such special children in any capacity and I would heartily recommend it also to any Amazon customers who need information on these sorts of difficulties.
