Great book if you want to homeschool or already are and you suspect that your child may have some learning difficulties, or special needs. It helped me feel confident in homeschooling my wonderful energetic son! It has good advice for homeschooling the early years all the way through highschool. It also has helpful information about testing for learning disablities and processing disorders.

Disappointing. I expected a book that really went in depth on how to accommodate a special needs child at home, but what I found was a book that preached more than explained.

There's some good content, but I have to believe there are better books on the topic available.

There is a Christian slant to this book, however that does not detract from its usefulness and resources.
