From my teacher girlfriend: "As a teacher searching for solutions for problem solving for my students with emotional and learning disabilities, I found this book after extensive research. It does exactly what it is designed to do. It provides a way to teach our most challenged to identify the underlying the structure of the most common problem types they will encounter. Its straightforward presentation, using explicit teaching and gradual release techniques for reaching its targeted population. I highly recommend it."
