How to help non-verbal children find a place for themselves
Marcia Brown Rubenstien is an educational consultant. She travels extensively visiting schools throughout the United States to understand which learning environments are best suited to which students. In addition to her work with students, Marcia publishes prolifically on a range of topics related to education and learning differences. When her youngest child was diagnosed with a nonverbal learning disorder, she founded a national non profit organisation designed to counteract the lack of information available on this complex disorder.
'Marcia Rubinstien has written a wonderful, hopeful, informative book about raising children with NLD to discover their competencies and achieve success and satisfaction in their lives. Marcia's realistic insights reflect her experiences both as a mother of a child with NLD and as an educator. Her understanding, warmth, compassion, and sense of humor come across on every page. This is a book that will be read and re-read by parents and professionals alike.' - Robert Brooks, Ph.D., Faculty, Harvard Medical School; author of The Self-Esteem Teacher, and co-author of Raising Resilient Children.
