Discover how to help teens with learning disabilities prepare for adulthood and achieve a satisfying quality of life!

Guiding Teens with Learning Disabilities is an easy-to-understand guide that clearly helps readers:

  • Understand the transition planning process under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA 2004) — who should be involved, what parents can expect, how students and families can prepare.
  • Learn how they can help youth with LD develop critically important self-awareness, self-acceptance, self-determination, and self-advocacy skills.
  • Get an early start in preparing teens for postsecondary learning, employment, and life in the community.

About the Author: Dr. Arlyn Roffman is a psychologist and professor of special education at Lesley University, and has more than 35 years of experience working with youth and adults with LD. She is the founding director of Threshold, a comprehensive transition program for young adults with LD and the author of Meeting the Challenge of Learning Disabilities in Adulthood.
