Reversed : a memoir / Lois Letchford.

A biographical memoir of teaching children with learning difficulties.

"Can a child's fate be sealed by the age of seven? Every parent has high hopes for their children. When Lois Letchford learns her son, Nicholas, has been diagnosed with a low IQ at the end of grade one, she refuses to give up on his future. After thorough testing, Nicholas proves to have no spatial awareness, limited concentration, and can only read ten words. Although discouraged, Lois knows things have to improve. After all, her son is young, and every child learns at their own pace. But once Nicholas is labeled "learning disabled," a designation considered more derogatory than "dyslexia," the world of education is quick to cast him aside."--Page [4] of cover.
