Book Title: The Learning Disability Myth
Author(s): Dr. Robin Pauc
Category: Self Help
Number of pages: 213
What it's about: Dr. Pauc theorizes that the common diagnoses of childhood, such as ADHD, ADD, OCD, Dyspraxia, Dyslexia, and Tourette's are all stemming from the same issue, which is a neurological developmental imbalance. He refers to this as Developmental Delay Syndrome.
What I liked best: I liked the fact that he believes that DDS can be treated with proper diet as well as physical and mental exercise, to retrain the brain.
One of Dr. Pauc's theories is that Developmental Delay Syndrome is caused by an imbalance in the development of brain hemispheres (one hemisphere is more developed than the other). Physical exercise (balance and coordination) and mental exercise (cognitive training) is prescribed to correct this imbalance, and a proper diet is recommended for overall brain health.
If you have a child who has been diagnosed with a behavioural issue and medication is recommended, and you are looking for an alternative, this book is a MUST READ.
My rating: 5
