"Creativity is important in every walk of life, mine especially. And Vicki Waller''s book, Yes! Your Child Can: Creating Success for Children with Learning Differences , shows what an extraordinary and creative educational therapist she is. She digs deep to find out what interests each child, unlocks their own creativity focusing on a subject a child is passionate about, and astonishingly, they learn to read. Magic happens!" --Michael D. Eisner , former chairman and CEO of The Walt Disney Company and president of The Tornante Company "Dr. Waller unlocks the super powers within her students using their own creativity to make their learning soar." --Patty Jenkins , writer/director, Wonder Woman "Vicki is a force of nature and a gift to people like me who learn differently. She is a brilliant educator for those of us who the system readily discards. Her heart is gold and her enthusiasm for lifting people up who learn differently or who were not born on a level playing field is platinum. For over 20 years serving on the board of the Putney Open-Door Fund, a nonprofit that offers full scholarships to students from underserved communities enabling them to participate in educational programs all over the world, she has changed lives and opened opportunities for many. If we could clone Vicki, the world would be a better place." --Peter Shumlin , former governor of Vermont "Dr. Waller understands the complexities of children, the importance of reading, and how to bring them together successfully." --Kevin Henkes , Caldecott Medal and Newbury award-winning writer and illustrator of Kitten''s First Full Moon , Lilly''s Purple Plastic Purse , and over 50 other children''s books "It has been a great privilege to connect with Dr. Waller and to see first-hand the tremendous care and attention she gives to her students. She has provided numerous students with introductions to me and thus those having an interest in sharks have been able to converse with me about them." --Chris Fallows , shark expert, wildlife photographer, and co-host of Discovery Channel Shark Week "I''ve seen many educational therapists in my 56 years of teaching and school administration and without a doubt Dr. Waller is the most inventive and successful therapist I have known. From the bottom of her heart, she BELIEVES in each child and each child senses her unconditional respect and support. Then she finds out what interests the child and uses that content and those experiences to teach them to read, and most importantly, to believe that they CAN read." --Joan Martin , director emerita, Crossroads Elementary School, Santa Monica "Our family was broken when we came to Vicki, beaten down by a school who didn''t want to do the work to find out what made our son tick. Our six-year-old son was anxious and convinced he wasn''t smart, all because his school told him he wasn''t. As it turns out, he''s wildly smart and was happy to read about sharks. So, Dr. Waller had him read about sharks. Then write about sharks. Then they''d talk about sharks. Then they''d read some more. We call Dr. Waller the Kid Whisperer because she can teach anyone to read, but she''s doing more than just teaching reading. She''s teaching kids they''re smart long after their school has given up on them. She''s advocating for children, fervently, relentlessly, graciously, and without limit. And she''s repairing families who don''t know where to turn. ''Smart kid,'' she''d say after every session. Then she''d send him off with a bunch of books about sharks, or baseball, or World War II. He''d read them all. Every single time." --Meredith Gordon , parent "Reading this book reminded me of how lucky I was that I had Vicki as an educational therapist who knew how to teach kids with learning differences. She is the reason that I am doing so well in school right now. She knew I was smart and she used all of my strengths and passions to teach me and make reading fun." --Alex , 16 (profiled in Yes!

Synopsis
Help and hope for parents of children with learning differences. Every child can succeed in school and life, but some children need more help than others. For over 40 years, internationally acclaimed reading specialist and student advocate Dr. Victoria E. Waller has helped children who have trouble reading, who can't sit still in class, who don't feel like they can participate--children whom teachers have all but given up on. In Yes! Your Child Can , Dr. Waller shares with parents, teachers, and therapists her proven techniques to create success for children with learning differences and draw out the singular genius within your child. In compassionate, nontechnical, easy-to-understand language, Yes! Your Child Can gives step-by-step guidance on how to help your child achieve in school and build lifelong intellectual confidence. Drawing on the latest science and her own wide-ranging experience, Dr. Waller explains why it's important to pay attention to your first gut feeling that your child may need extra help and shows how to navigate testing, medication, and choosing a team to help your child. Most importantly, Yes! Your Child Can shows you how to use your child's natural strengths and passions to build their academic, social, and personal confidence. Dr. Waller empowers parents to let their children follow their own interests, whether that's learning about sharks, reading to the dog, or building with Legos and writing about their creations. With Dr. Waller's help, learning can be motivating and fun. Dr. Waller's techniques are smart, caring, and effective with any child, no matter their current or past educational difficulties. Respectful, compassionate, and offering real help, Yes! Your Child Can is the first book every parent of a child with learning differences should read.
