Part 21 About the Authors
Far more detailed than similar books from other publishers...Although the authors emphasize that the book is meant to be a teen's private source, parents, teachers, and counselors, as well as any serious learner, will find its information and techniques most helpful.

Offers a solid base of information including definitions, coping strategies, tips on interpreting test results, legal considerations and post-secondary-school options...highly readable format...a necessary addition for media centers and special-education collections and will certainly be useful for any student who has a learning disability.
