(This book is about the learning-disabled child: who he is...)
This book is about the learning-disabled child: who he is, how you can recognize him, and how you - as a parent, as a teacher, as a doctor - can help him. "Square Pegs, Round Holes" is a sensitive and sensible look by a practicing pediatrician at both the learning-disabled child and what CAN be done to help him. Dr. Harold B. Levy, co-medical director of the Caddo Foundation for Exceptional Children, begins by defining what constitutes a specific learning disability. He lists and explains the symptoms that a learning-disabled child may show: hyper- or hypoactivity, occasional clumsiness, abnormal sleep patterns, short attention span, perceptual and memory difficulties, poor abstract reasoning, and inconsistency. He discusses conditions such as retardation, brain damage, psychological blocks, and youthful immaturity and demonstrates how they differ from specific learning disabilities and how they must be recognized and treated differently.
