Summary of Brains That Work a Little Bit Differently
This book for teachers and parents draws from very recent brain research to explain the causes and consequences of common diversities including: Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, Dyslexia, Alcoholism, Autism, SAD (The Winter Blues), Left-handedness, Photographic Memory, Perfect Pitch, and even D ja Vu and Synesthesia. All of these have specific brain-to-body connections. This book provides diagnostic tests for the symptoms. It explains genetic and environmental factors that cause the conditions, along with consequences and correlations with other health matters that statistically accompany each condition. Each section includes checklists and testing exercises used for professional diagnosis of these cognitive abnormalities. The bibliography offers sources for further information and an index makes it a convenient handbook for people without technical training.Psychology & Counseling Books
