Wong really goes in depth in simple language and crucial research that involves Learning Disability. She really writes so that everyone who have never heard of LD can understand. She goes through different aspects of LD. It's a recommended book for those who have no idea what learning disability is and to those who are professional in the schools. A true 5 star.
