Bruce F. Pennington
1991, The Guilford Press, NY
ISBN
0-89862-563-7 |

Although written primarily for professionals, and therefore
somewhat technical, others would benefit from the material covered in this
book. There is a comprehensive section on NLD, which the author refers to as
"right hemisphere LD." Although the author questions the social
skills component of NLD, referring to the disability as one of math and
handwriting, the material provided is informative.
