Smart but Scattered: The Revolutionary "Executive Skills" Approach to Helping Kids Reach Their Potential
Scientists who study child development have recently found that kids who are "smart but scattered" lack or lag behind in crucial executive skills—the core, brain-based habits of mind required to “execute” tasks like getting organized, staying focused, and controlling emotions. Drawing on this revolutionary discovery, school psychologist Peg Dawson and neuropsychologist Richard Guare have developed an innovative program that parents and teachers can use to strengthen kids’ abilities to plan ahead, be efficient, follow through, and get things done. Smart but Scattered provides ways to assess children’s strengths and weaknesses and offers guidance on day-to-day issues like following instructions in the classroom, doing homework, completing chores, reducing performance anxiety, and staying cool under pressure. Small steps add up to big improvements, enabling these kids to build the skills they need to live up to their full potential. More than 40 reproducibles are included. .

Smart But Feeling Dumb New Understanding and Dramatic Treatment for Dyslexia (LD/ADD)
In an easy-to-understand narrative style, Dr. Harold Levinson captures and portrays the true nature and essence of dyslexia and its related attention deficit and anxiety disorders. And by relying on and analyzing the actual descriptive content of dyslexics, he simultaneously provides readers with the first and only way of medically understanding, diagnosing, treating, and even preventing dyslexia and its devastating impact on self-esteem. This is a book that provides real hope and help to countless millions. And by contrasting his patient-based groundbreaking insights vs. those theoretically-derived by traditionalists, Dr. Levinson appears to weave a fascinating tale of two theories - one that works miracles vs. one that has led absolutely nowhere scientifically for over a century. By carefully listening to the many and varied dyslexics presented here, you will be led, as was Dr. Levinson, to simply and naturally solve all the puzzling riddles characterizing this previously mystifying disorder. And readers will also come to realize the vital key to this solution: that dyslexics, and not experts, truly feel, intuitively understand and thus ultimately define their disorder. Last and most important, the vital therapeutic insights within this work will enable all dyslexics to feel as smart as they really are and ensure that they successfully fulfill the goals and dreams that otherwise might never have been possible..
