This book is great for practical, basic knowledge of SpLDs/SPDs or learning disabilities in the classroom. Its strategies are a bit outdated, and information is often repetitive, but it prompts the reader to become more aware and mindful of the neurodivergent abilities in the learning environment. I found value in the knowledge I gained about long-term and short-term memory processing as well as the executive function of the brain.

Veel tips om het langetermijn- en werkgeheugen te trainen. Helaas minder gericht op autisme dan de samenvatting beloofde.
