The book shows how individuals with learning disabilities and AD/HD can plan constructively for college or work. There are chapters on legal issues, psychological testing, educational strategies and job choices.
Often high school students are made to feel that traditional college is the only choice. This book takes a positive, affirming look at all the alternatives.
I have only one criticism of this excellent book. There should have been some medical input on the section on AD/HD. The brief section on medication was clearly not written by a psychiatrist.

"Unlocking Potential" helps alleviate a lot of that worry by offering sound, practical advice as I help prepare our son for the next stage of his life. Advice includes informtaion on helping your child whether he is obtaining a 4-year degree or entering the military, becoming an apprentice or getting a job.
Overall, I'm very impressed with this well-organized, easy-to-read book and would recommend it to anyone dealing with A.D.D. or a learning disability.
Mathematicians often resort to something called Hilbert space, which is
described as being n-dimensional. Like modern sex, any number can play.

Although we modern persons tend to take our electric lights, radios, mixers,
etc., for granted, hundreds of years ago people did not have any of these
things, which is just as well because there was no place to plug them in.
Then along came the first Electrical Pioneer, Benjamin Franklin, who flew a
kite in a lighting storm and received a serious electrical shock. This
proved that lighting was powered by the same force as carpets, but it also
damaged Franklin's brain so severely that he started speaking only in
incomprehensible maxims, such as "A penny saved is a penny earned."
Eventually he had to be given a job running the post office.
