This is Stanley Greenspan's unique method of building learning skills from the ground up, for children with any kind of learning disability. In "The Growth of the Mind and The First Idea", Stanley Greenspan explored the early development, and the stages of, intelligence. "Building Healthy Minds" laid out the ways parents can encourage such development in the first few years of a child's life. In this new book he applies these insights to identifying, understanding and overcoming learning disabilities. The work of the institute that Greenspan founded, the Interdisciplinary Council for Developmental Disabilities and Learning Disorders (ICDL) spans, as its name indicates, conditions such as Autism and Aspergers and also all kinds of learning problems and delays. Colleagues in the field of learning disorders come from all over the country to train in the methods taught by the institute, in the developmental, relationship-based model that is at the base of all his clinical work and research. This book offers a new way of looking at learning problems, and practical, effective ways to solve them.Both parents and early learning professionals will especially welcome the sections on finding problems early. With Greenspan's characteristic optimism, it 'raises the ceiling' for children who learn with difficulty, who learn differently, and even those whose special strengths can be a handicap in other areas.
