Yes! Your Child Can: Creating Success for Children with Learning Differences

Help and hope for parents of children with learning differences.

Every child can succeed in school-and in life-but some children need more help than others. For over 40 years, Dr. Victoria E. Waller has been helping those children-the ones who can't read, who can't sit still in class, or don't participate at all, or the ones whom teachers have all but given up on. Dr. Waller shares with parents, teachers, and therapists her proven techniques for helping children with learning differences in Yes! Your Child Can.

In compassionate, nontechnical, easy-to-understand, straightforward language, Yes! Your Child Can shows, with a step-by-step guide, how every child can achieve academic success and be happy. The book is a perfect map to help parents and educators navigate the first gut feeling that something may be amiss with the child, to testing, medication, choosing a team, and how to address issues with reading, writing, executive functioning and, most importantly, building confidence using the child's strengths and passions.

While Dr. Waller's results may seem like magic, her techniques are smart, caring, and can be applied by any parent, teacher, or therapist. The guide is also accompanied by a wealth of real-life stories that inspire and educate.

Filled with concrete tools and tips, Dr. Waller draws on the latest science and her own wide-ranging experience, empowering parents to do what's best for the child, whether that's learning about sharks, having them read to their dog, or building with Legos then writing about their creation. Yes! Your Child Can helps parents find the genius in all children with differences so that they are able to succeed.

Respectful, compassionate, and effective, Yes! Your Child Can is the first book every parent of a child with learning differences should read.
