Book Description
About Writing Right Writing Right is an illustrated children's book whose main character is Noah, a third grade boy with dysgraphia. Many people have never heard of dysgraphia and that is one of the primary reasons for this book. Dysgraphia affects writing skills and can make learning very difficult. In this book, Noah learns to work through his struggles with dysgraphia through perseverance, help from his mom, computer resources, and occupational therapy. Through Noah’s story, I hope to shed some light on this lesser-known disability and aid those affected. From the Author Hello! I’m Cassie, the author of this book, and a high school student from Virginia. For my Girl Scout Gold Award project, I wanted to write a children’s book that would help kids cope with the learning disability dysgraphia. I hope that kids can relate to Noah and learn along with him.

Book Description
Dysgraphia is a learning disability that affects writing ability, fine motor skills, and information processing skills. This particular disability can manifest itself in a variety of ways in people of all ages. In all cases of dysgraphia, writing takes copious amounts of energy and focus. Unfortunately, many parents ignore the potential signs of their child having a learning disability, preferring to remain in denial. However, it is much more dangerous to ignore the signs rather than face them head on, especially because the strain of overcoming such a difficult hurdle in your child's life will take patience, understanding, discipline, and a high level of encouragement. This book is designed to help you move forward in identifying and accommodating your child's learning needs, one step at a time.

Book Description
The dramatic story of one man’s recovery offers new hope to those suffering from concussions and other brain traumas In 1999, Clark Elliott suffered a concussion when his car was rear-ended. Overnight his life changed from that of a rising professor with a research career in artificial intelligence to a humbled man struggling to get through a single day. At times he couldn’t walk across a room, or even name his five children. Doctors told him he would never fully recover. After eight years, the cognitive demands of his job, and of being a single parent, finally became more than he could manage. As a result of one final effort to recover, he crossed paths with two brilliant Chicago-area research-clinicians—one an optometrist emphasizing neurodevelopmental techniques, the other a cognitive psychologist—working on the leading edge of brain plasticity. Within weeks the ghost of who he had been started to re-emerge. Remarkably, Elliott kept detailed notes throughout his experience, from the moment of impact to the final stages of his recovery, astounding documentation that is the basis of this fascinating book. The Ghost in My Brain gives hope to the millions who suffer from head injuries each year, and provides a unique and informative window into the world’s most complex computational device: the human brain.

Book Description
If you are a parent or teacher of a child who struggles with writing and you think he or she is simply lazy, unmotivated, or defiant, you might be overlooking a learning disability called developmental dysgraphia and you should read this book. Developmental Dysgraphia is a life-long, learning disability that adversely impacts a child's ability to write. Unfortunately, there is little awareness of this disability and as a result, children frequently go undiagnosed and unidentified, which can lead to emotional harm and academic difficulties/failures. Worse still, even when identified, children often continue to suffer as a result of a lack of understanding and awareness of the impact of the disability and the accommodations, supports, and services that are needed to address it. What is often misunderstood is that, while it can affect the neatness of handwriting, dysgraphia is not just a handwriting problem but is so much more than that. In Dysgraphia: More than Bad Handwriting, the author shares some of her personal experiences and observations about dysgraphia and advocating for her two children with dysgraphia. She also obtained comment from one of her children as to how it feels to have dysgraphia and being told to try harder is not the answer.
