disabled youngsters can learn how to learn.

Foreword
Sally Smith describes the fourth dimension: What to do! This
achievement is made possible only by profound personal and
professional experience in the first three dimensions: child，
parent， teacher.
As a teacher， Sally Smith has pioneered new approaches and
techniques that are both creative and practical. While the
classroom is the arena of focus， Mrs. Smith knows that the
parent is also a key educator or instructor， who can assist or
hinder the work of the classroom teacher. This knowledge is
leavened by intimate contact with hundreds of learning dis-
abl~d youngsters of all ages. With this firm foundation she
pro ~vides help and guidance for the teachers who must do the
work on a daily basis.
Th~ multidimensional adventure， beginning on a personal
level， has led to a search for new solutions and new ways，
culminating in the founding of The Lab School. Experience as
a teacher and administrator led to a recognition of this profes-
sional educator who， as associate professor at the American
University in charge of learning disabilities， has been able to
bring special knowledge to a broad audience. This splendid
book will make it possible for many more to benefit from the
creative journey of a pioneer.
There are no easy answers for the learning disabled， because
persistence and pain go hand in hand in the learning process.
This book s triumph is in achieving a synthesis between the
emotional and cognitive domains. Careful reading and study
will benefit literally thousands of people; and most signifi-
cantly， it can benefit an individual important to you.
