They show how children are often mislabeled with diagnoses that are too broad (ADHD, for instance) or are simply inaccurate. They also explain why medications are often not the best ways to help children who are struggling to learn. The authors guide readers through the morass of commonly used labels and treatments, offering specific suggestions that can be used to help children at school and at home.</p><p>This book offers extremely empowering information for parents and professionals alike. <em>The Mislabeled Child</em> examines a full spectrum of learning disorders, from dyslexia to giftedness, clarifying the diagnoses and providing resources to help. The Eides explain how a learning disability encompasses more than a behavioral problem; it is also a brain dysfunction that should be treated differently.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><strong>Brock Eide, M.D., M.A.</strong>, and <strong>Fernette Eide, M.D.</strong>, are leading researchers and clinicians on learning disabilities.
