I Get It! I Get It! How John Figures It Out One boy journey with Auditory Processing Disorder Is a beautifully-illustrated book about a boy who feels frustrated–and not smart. He is having difficulty at school, and at home, and begins to feel overwhelmed. The adults in his life think he is inattentive, and not trying hard enough. Children with Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) find the world a confusing, challenging place. Although they do not have a “hearing loss”, they often “mis-hear” and misinterpret directions they receive auditorily.
With the support of his family, and his teacher, John learns how to effectively deal with the disorder, for success in school and at home. With modifications and help, John realizes he has a learning problem he can overcome.
Colorful, expressive illustrations follow John’s journey from confusion to triumph, good self-esteem, and “figuring it out.” At the end of the story, a Glossary of Terms, Ways You Can Help Your Child at Home and in School, and a Resources List are included. Released January 2012
My Review: I love a book that educates us about the choices we make and how it can change our lives. Yvonne Capitelli has written a positive message about power and control letting young girls (even boys) that they can believe in their selves and have confidence in making good choices and positive things will happen. It is true that we can not change how others treat us but we can choose how it makes us feel. In this book Daria Rose’s mother explained to her that “What you think and how you act can make even a bad situation turn out good...” Don’t let fear stop you from making the right decisions. Don’t let others change how you feel about yourself and how you behave. What a great and positive message for our kid today, not only for the kids but for us adults. I highly recommended this book not only for family but for classroom teaching.
