Learn how smart people with learning gaps struggle, survive, and achieve. Smart But Stuck, Third Edition, is an updated look at how smart people with learning gaps can not only overcome them, but become successful in learning and in life. This new edition of this classic explores the emotional aspects of learning disabilities and imprisoned intelligence, showing how and why smart people with learning disabilities are resilient in getting help in order to struggle, survive, and achieve. The book also includes new material on the relationship between learning disabilities, neuroscience, and the neurophysiology of the human brain. This unique and compelling new version takes into account that the reader may have a learning disability, so it's easy to read and understand.
