What Readers are Saying:

“Unique in a special way continues to be a description of Mary.
Through her self discovery and persistent endeavors to understanding her unique styles for learning and living, you will learn and experience her emergence as a model learning disabled adult!”

Robert E. AbbottRetired Associate Superintendent of Schools, Waukegan, Illinois, and former member of Board of Directors, Learning Disabilities Association of America

“I have heard it said that ‘Experience is the best teacher.’ This book
provides powerful experiences which are the best for teachers. Par-
ticularly for teachers who want to refresh their awareness of how
varied are the learning pathways that children follow. I hope that
all teachers will read this book and share these experiences.”
