Description

A diagnosis at the age of seven can have a lasting impact. In 1995, a school diagnostician described a child as "the worst seen in 20 years of teaching." Yet, by 2018, that same boy had achieved academic success, earning a Ph.D. from Oxford University.

The story of Lois Letchford's son is one of determination and perseverance. After being labeled with a low IQ at the end of grade one, Lois refused to give up on his future. She worked tirelessly to improve his education, despite facing challenges from the school system and limited resources.

This memoir chronicles Lois's journey as she sought to overcome impossible odds and redefine what it means to be "learning disabled." With unwavering hope and strength of will, Lois transformed her son's life and discovered a new approach to teaching children who have been left behind.
