Meeting the Challenge of Learning Disabilities in Adulthood (Paperback)

The challenges faced by individuals with learning disabilities (LD) are not confined to an academic setting and are not "outgrown" in adulthood. So how do adults manage the hurdles of LD in their professional and personal lives? In this book, readers will hear from a diverse group of adults with LD--including some who also have attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)--as they describe how they've met disability-related challenges at work and at home. Practical suggestions and proven strategies will enable adults with LD/ADHD to identify and capitalize on their strengths. And families, educators, and service providers will find the insight they need to help adults with LD/ADHD achieve a satisfying quality of life.
