Learning Disorders Nina Fernandez

Learning disabilities are due to genetic and/or neurobiological factors that alter brain functioning in a manner that affects one or more cognitive processes related to learning. These processing problems can interfere with learning basic skills such as reading, writing, and/or math.

Why are learning disorders exploding for the current generation? Why is autism--primarily a disorder afflicting young males--skyrocketing? The answers to these questions and more are explored in this book. Developmental disorders are an umbrella term. It covers a wide array of conditions, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), dyslexia, Asperger's syndrome, high-function/moderate/severe autism, and pervasive developmental disorders to name but a comparative handful. ADHD was singled out in the title because it co-occurs with so many other developmental syndromes, and because it is so vastly misunderstood by many people, even by those whose business it is to know what it is and what it is not.

Among the top offenders of underlying causes are heavy metal, caffeine and sugar diet, nutrient deficiencies, processed food sensitivities, and/or environmental toxic exposure. These are addressable if the adults in their lives will address them. Better and more complete than the ""How To"" book on the topic, this book shows you how.

Traumas-emotional and physical--from a wide variety of sources, including spousal abuse, child neglect, war, and accident number among those known to affect child development can also be identified and addressed. This book shows you how.

And so much more. Buy this book for more information.
