The Learning Disability Myth: Understanding and Overcoming Your Child's Diagnosis of Dyspraxia, Tourette's Syndrome of Childhood, ADD, ADHD or OCD

At least one child in five experiences some form of learning difficulty, but:
* Learning difficulties as we understand them DO NOT exist
* They are not diseases just symptoms
* These symptoms never appear alone
* They are treatable and avoidable
Dr Robin Pauc, an expert in child neurology, approaches learning difficulties, including Dyslexia, ADD, OCD, ADHD, Dyspraxia and Tourette's syndrome of childhood, from a truly ground-breaking perspective. All human babies are born prematurely and develop special new brain cells four months after birth. Every human's developement in the womb and particularly in these early stages of life can, therefore, be affected by devlepement delay, which can blight childhood and marginalize a child at school. Since our brains continue to grow, however, the symptoms can also be treated.
Is That My Child? Explains the backround to human developmental delay and contains:
* Advice on how to get the best assessment for your child and an explanation of what the examination must include
* The effects - good and bad - of certain foods on the brain
* Excercises and computer programs that you can use to expand your child's neural function
* Case histories of children on whom this plan has worked
In the single biggest breakthorough in the history of learning difficulties, Is That My Child? explains the cause of Development Delay Syndromes, uses simple, easy-to-follow tips to show you how to greatly reduce the risk of your child suffering, and gives advice on what can be done to treat those children that do.

Is that My Child?

Excellent book. It is sound and very informative. We have implemented many of his ideas with great success. I recommend highly to anyone with a child suffering from any of the disorders mentioned.

Cautiously Optimistic

While I do not agree with all of Pauc's assertions or believe that this is a miracle that can cure every child based on the dubious evidence of a a few testimonials, I do believe the exercise and dietary information in this book may be helpful. If you read past the notion of 'cure' and have realistc expectations, you may be pleased to find an approach that moves beyond labeling and symptom management to one that just might make some improvements in the brain function of your child. The theory is that the brain continues to develop and make new connections all the time and that we can have a positive impact on its' function largely with exercises, food and nutritional supplements. I imagine the level and degree of improvement must widely vary from child to child. So while I am wary of those who pedal hope to people who are desperate, I am cautiously optimistic that this book really does have something to offer - improved brain function may not be a 'cure' but I certainly do want my child to have the benefit of it.

Breakthrough to New Understanding

This is a 'must read' for parents and all professionals who have contact with the young. Of particular signicance is the section dealing with the importance of nutrition. Food for serious thought as well as for the brain !

A label only tells about symptoms, not the causes.

Pauc's "the Learning Disability Myth" is fast, clear and easy to read. Using all the latest neurological research, he cuts through the educational jargon that gives a name to your child's difficulties, but would not get rid of what is actually causing the symptoms. Taking a health history of the child, and looking at the symptoms, he shows how to design an exercise program that will change the function of the brain. Combined with restructioning the connections in the brain he urges providing the chemical support the brain needs by the simple method of changing the child's diet. Unlike most books on the subject which fail to take advantage of the research by neurologists that the brain is plastic, he suggests methods to give your child the best organized brain possible. Pauc lets you know that a label is not a life sentence and that you can help your child.
