Praise for Nowhere to Hide
“Some 10-15% of America’s kids fight the battle of learning disabilities and attention deficits every day. Through no fault or choice of their own, they become a daily source of puzzlement and frustration for the parents and teachers in their lives. In Nowhere to Hide, Schultz brings his unparalleled experience, knowledge, background, and wisdom to this issue. He provides the reader with comprehensible explanations of the latest neurobiological research and translates it into practical strategies parents and professionals can use to assist these students in reaching their fullest potential.”
“In Nowhere to Hide, Jerome Schultz brings to light the extraordinary stresses experienced by children with learning disabilities and ADHD. Kids with learning disabilities struggle academically, but they also experience tremendous fear—and so do their parents! I wish my wife and I had had this practical, comforting book when we were raising our two children.”
“This is probably the best book I have read about how ADHD and LD manifests in an academic setting. The light bulb moment was seeing that some behaviors are not the inability to focus, but rather an avoidance of difficult to navigate situations and assignments. Took lots of notes and will to it often. Good for both teachers and parents.”
“Jerry has helped thousands of teachers, students, parents, and others triumph (by turning) what seemed at first a shortcoming, even a disability, into an asset.”
