Fathers of Kids with Learning Problems
eri...@gmail.com
Fathers play a special role in the lives of their children. In this
guide, we offer information and support for the added responsibilities
dads encounter in parenting a child with learning or attention
problems. Here are some highlights of what you'll find in this guide:
Learning disabilities expert, Richard D. Lavoie, shares his wisdom on
the unique contribution dads can make to their child's success and
well-being.
Journalist Melinda Sacks, whose son has learning problems, talks about
how dads sometimes get left out of their kids' daily lives, and how -
and why - fathers should stay off the sidelines.
SchwabLearning.org interviews David Sharpe, father of a young adult
with learning disabilities, who himself has LD. He describes how dads
can model and support a positive attitude, self-awareness, and self-
advocacy in relation to learning problems.
A school psychologist offers dads practical tips for staying involved
with their kids; and SchwabLearning.org writer Kristin Stanberry
offers strategies for strengthening parents' partnerships.
