Editorial Review:
Product Description:
"Presents a highly readable overview of a variety of special needs accompanied by practical information about how to address those needs. Makes the relationship between the special need and the brain clear and understandable for the lay reader."
-Lois A. Fisch, Director of Education, Utica College
Praise for the First Edition
"The book's greatest strength may be its logical explanation of why today's students develop and learn differently. A functionally unchanging educational system is no longer appropriate in meeting learner needs."
-CHOICE, 2002
Leverage brain research to develop successful strategies for students with special needs!
Since the first edition of David A. Sousa's bestseller on a brain-based approach for special education, scientists have made remarkable progress in understanding how the human brain functions. Now, How the Special Needs Brain Learns, Second Edition, helps you turn the latest developments in neuroscience into practical classroom activities for students with common learning challenges.
In this completely revised second edition, Sousa builds on the latest data by examining both simple and complex learning strategies that can be adapted for students with learning disabilities such as ADHD/ADD; speech, reading, writing, and math disabilities; emotional and behavioral disorders; autism; and Asperger's syndrome.
Emphasizing lifelong independent learning, increased retention, and cognitive flexibility, this revision offers educators targeted assistance with:
- Responsiveness to Intervention (RTI) for evaluating students at risk
- Expanded chapters on attention and autism spectrum disorders
- Revised material on reading, emotional, and behavioral disorders
- A new final chapter featuring a practical framework for identifying, accommodating, and motivating special needs students
- References to more than 230 new scientific studies
Offering real strategies for real classrooms, Sousa's latest work is an indispensable tool for all educators, school administrators, and preservice educators, as well as parents who want to better understand the way their children process and retain information.

- Very Helpful GuideAs a high school teacher with several special education students in my classes, I found this book to be extremely informative. Written in plain language rather than a medical text, it helped me to understand better the problems these students face. The book contains numerous suggestions for activities and techniques that I have tried and they were very effective. I strongly recommend this book for any teacher (and parent)who deals with special needs children.
Rating:
- Not Special EnoughA cursory examination of a number of relatively mild disorders along with a few paragraphs about general instructional methods for each. For a book touting itself as "how the brain works" it contains an embarrassingly basic discussion of brain function, consistent with a high school anatomy and physiology textbook. The chapter on autism, while (finally)addressing a true "special need" would only be new information to a complete neophyte. This book is a disappointment. The title is the only weighty ... Read More

- Wonderful Resource for Parents as well as EducatorsI have two special needs children and have found this volume indispensable. The material is presented in a concise, clear manner. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
