The Guide to Private Special Education is a comprehensive and compassionate resource for parents who have children with LD.  Authored by Maureen Brenner, Head of Riverview School (Cape Cod), an exceptional coeducational residential school for students (12-22) with complex language, learning and cognitive disabilities, the Guide answers many of the frustrating questions parents have when trying to choose the right educational situation for their child.

Having recently joined the staff of Riverview, I have been amazed at the vision and mission of the School and the individual attention given to the students at all levels.  I have read about Quinn's life story and progress and have begun to witness the same level of accomplishments at Riverview.  The confidence gained in all aspects of the students' academic and social life greatly improves their ability to conquer their goals and build a future. You can download the Guide at www.guidetoprivatespecialeducation.org and find out more about the School at www.riverviewschool.org.

I am in the process of learning more about the world of LD, and as a former teacher, I can not help but appreciate the fact that our eyes have been opened, our efforts have been directed, and students with learning disabilities are now getting the attention and respect they deserve.
