I read this to learn more about my children’s developmental delays and how to support them. This book was interesting but a little broad. It had some helpful information about available services for kids with developmental delays, but I didn’t really need a run-down of every disability a child could possibly have.

LeComer provides examples of how certain disabilities may present themselves in a child. It was insightful, encouraging. Would recommend this to every family dealing with developmental delays in a child.
