The 3 paragraphs this book has about dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia contain underrepresented, inaccurate descriptions of the specific learning disorders. This should not be the case for a mental health book. This book claims that the majority of these "learning disorders" are in 5% of average kids, 25% with (unidentified) special needs. The author claims the disorder is associated with "lower family education, poverty, and male gender" (p 189). Dyslexia is hereditary, which is often why the family may have a lower education or be impoverished. The hereditary element would be an extremely important fact to include in the book; if an adult is dyslexic, they have a 50% chance of their offspring having dyslexia. Further, the adult with dyslexia likely has no idea he or she is dyslexic due to the fact that states are only now passing legislature require school screenings, and books like these give inaccurate and under-represented.Although the side effects, listed here are mostly accurate, they will be lessened if we can actually educate our medical professionals and teachers with accurate information, so that these kids can be identified and get the help they need! The author should reference that these kids with dyslexia, dyscalculia, & dysgraphia are intelligent, though they have difficulties decoding from paper. Halter makes it sound like they are unintelligent, they come from poor families, and most of them have a whole slew of problems. This is completely inaccurate. Dyslexics are highly intelligent, usually excel in art, building, or. athletics, though show poorly on paper, with reading difficulties which becomes more apparent by 3rd grade.Halter should also recommend Orton-Gillingham based training for these kids.
