"Ms. Cusimano has made a valuable contribution to clarifying some of the complexities surrounding learning disabilities. The text that she has produced is very easy to read with many personal accounts that substantiate Ms. Cusimano's points of emphasis........This book was refreshing as a tool that brings simplification to an area that is often presented in a sophisticated manner, not to be understood by laymen."

About the Author:
Addie Cusimano, an educational therapist with more than thirty-five years of experience working as a diagnostician, clinician, researcher and teacher shares her findings on educating children from learning disabled (dyslexic) to gifted. Written in an easy to read format, Ms. Cusimano, a reading specialist, discusses various facets of basic skills and learning skills that are lacking in our educational curriculums. In her books she presents the learning skills that all children must develop in order to learn with ease, and explains what parents and educators can do to help develop these skills. Her preface is that children with a learning disability can and should be cured at an elementary level, and that the best reading approach is one that incorporates many more facets of learning than are presently taught. Her book includes eye-opening information on reading, writing, spelling, mathematics, auditory memory (listening), visual memory (visual sequencing and recall), visual perception, auditory perception, eye-hand coordination, study skills, the best reading approach and practical techniques for developing these skills. Her findings offer obtainable solutions for the fulfillment of the "No Child Left Behind" Act.
"Learning Disabilities: There is a Cure is a wonderful source for all teachers, school psychologists and college students who are in a teacher training program."
Judy Higgins-Director of Counselors, School Psychologists and Social Workers PA
Note: This book makes an excellent text for the training of classroom teachers, reading specialists, and special education teachers.
" Learning Disabilities: There is a Cure and the teaching materials that Addie Cusimano has designed for the teaching of specific learning skills such as visual discrimination, visual memory, and auditory memory are easy to use, yet trremendously effective for children who are home schooled. What a find!"

Announcing the new revised and expanded second edition of :
Learning Disabilties:
There is a Cure
With two new chapters:
Learning a Foreign
Language,
The Best Mathematics Approach,
and Updates on Reading
Statistical reports indicate that 1.2 million students in the USA are high school dropouts and that 2.7 million public school students nationwide have been identified as learning disabled. Fifty percent of all dropouts come from inner city public schools where twenty-five percent are learning disabled. For years educators have been in search of the right reading approach, one that would meet the needs of all children. Since the early 1900’s we have switched from a sight approach, to a phonetic approach, linguistic, whole language, integrated, and now, a researched based, balanced approach. The No Child Left Behind Act has set a goal that by 2014, all children in the United States are to be proficient in reading. The dilemma lies in how this is to be accomplished even with this improved balanced approach.
Educational specialist, Addie Cusimano, shares her findings in this new second edition of her book entitled, Learning Disabilities: There is a Cure which is based on her research, work and success with students from pre-school to college age, from learning disabled to gifted. Her preface is that all children from kindergarten to grade three should be taught specific learning skills, skills that are not a part of most basic elementary curriculums. Ms. Cusimano presents her answers to the No Child Left Behind Act, discusses the importance of including the formal teaching of specific learning skills, and the best approach and techniques for the teaching of basic skills and learning skills. Her recommended teaching strategies, proven to be highly beneficial for all students, produce a dramatic effect in helping students to succeed academically. This revised second edition includes two new chapters, the teaching of foreign languages and mathematics as well as updated details on the teaching of reading.

Written in an easy to read format, Ms. Cusimano book provides solutions for educators, parents and professionals while offering a refreshing and assured method for the solution to America’s serious academic concerns.
Reviews:
"This book sheds new light on what is needed to greatly improve the academic level of students, from learning disabled (dyslexic) to those who are not classified as learning disabled, and dramatically lower the high school drop-out rate. It is a book that parents, educators (pre-school through college), and physicians who work with students with learning problems will want to read. It is also an excellent source for teacher training courses and workshops."

"As a school psychologist, it was frustrating to have so little to offer parents and teachers about how to help students strengthen specific areas of weakness which were found by the tests. The child has an auditory problem, a visual memory problem, etc. Well, what can be done?
This book helps parents and teachers answer this question promoting specific learning strategies. The revision offers more details about teaching reading in addition to applying learning strategies to the teaching of foreign languages and mathematics. Learning how to learn is an area often overlooked in today's busy, test-oriented classrooms.
Some of the best material I've found is Learning Disabilities: There is a Cure along with the author's other books. Read the editorial review for more about how these books developed from years of experience meeting specific needs of students. "
