Book Review for Dancing in the Rain: Stories of Exceptional Progress by Parents of Children with Special Needs:Dancing in the Rain is a guide to the world of learning disabilities, developmental delay and autism.An inspiring and riveting selection of stories, they are written with candor and intelligence by the parents of children with special needs and edited by Annabel Stehli. This is a comprehensive, fully indexed collection of twenty two case histories of children with special needs that include Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD/ADHD), dyslexia, hyperlexia, Pervasive Developmental Delay (PDD), communication delay, central Auditory Processing Disorder (APD or CAPD), fetal alcohol syndrome, and autism (ASD). Individualized treatments such as Auditory Integration Training, vision therapy, behavior modification (Lovaas, OPTION), and nutritional intervention are pursued and found to be successful strategies that work. "How I wish a book like this had been available when my daughter was first diagnosed. It would have made all the difference," says Annabel Stehli. Annabel Stehli has written other books about raising children with special needs, including The Sound of a Miracle: A Child’s Triumph Over Autism and Sound of Falling Snow Children's Stories of Recovery from Autism and Related Disorders. |
