"Today's kids are often computer literate even before they can read. They thrive on continuous visual stimulation and constant activity. They may enter treatment diagnosed with learning differences and cognitive variations that affect language, attention, and concentration. When they need help it may be hard to engage them in traditional language-based therapy, which relies on explanation, analytic skill, and interpretation. Finding a therapy that "fits" is not easy."--Jacket.
