Take the Stone Out of the Shoe

Children and adults with learning or attention challenges are not broken. They don’t need to be fixed, but they do have some roadblocks to learning as easily and enjoyably as they could. Roadblocks can be removed. A stone can be taken out of a shoe. Neuroscience research and decades of clinical evidence prove that struggles associated with dyslexia and learning disabilities can be eliminated.

In this very readable book, you’ll learn what lagging, but trainable skills lie at the root of most learning and attention challenges. Easy, practical strategies for parents and teachers will give you tools for supporting struggling learners with attention, behavior, executive function, comprehension, reading, writing, spelling, math, and more.

Most importantly, Take the Stone Out of the Shoe presents real solutions to the learning disability epidemic. The struggles that too many bright, frustrated students are experiencing can be changed.

Based on 36 years of neuroscience research and clinical work with students of all ages, as well as training parents, teachers and therapists, Jill Stowell shares programs and the research behind them that allow students to successfully move forward to meet their potential. A band aid approach to learning and attention challenges is no longer appropriate. It’s time to take the stone out of the shoe.
