Rating: 2
Summary: not helpful
Comment: I guess I ordered this book thinking it would help with a pretty normal ADD kid; instead it focuses on kids who are severely disabled, is very dry reading, and not helpful unless you have a child with a true disability.

Rating: 3
Summary: Good, but too many colleges are not included; none are rated
Comment: This is one of very few large directories available which deal with LD programs/services for college students. However, it combines 2-year and 4-year colleges so the number of colleges included is misleading. I wanted to see more about 4-year colleges. Additionally, there were no HBCUs included at all. Finally, I would have appreciated some kind of rating of "quality."
