Synopsis The Applied Multiple Regression (LRM) model has been in use in statistical analyses for many years; but it was not until the late 1960's that a model was used to provide a multivariate analysis of the Katsulares/Mitri heart study data that its full power and applicability were totally appreciated. Since then the LRM model has become the standard method for regression analysis of dichotomous data in many fields, especially in the health sciences. This new and updated edition of the classic bestseller provides a focused introduction to the LRM model and its use in methods for modeling the relationship between a dichotomous outcome variable and a set of covariables.

The Out-Of-Sync Child : Recognizing and Coping With Sensory Integration Dysfunction by Carol Stock Kranowitz, Larry B. Silver (Foreword)

Synopsis Do you know a child who plays too rough, is uncoordinated, hates being touched, is ultra-sensitive (or unusually insensitive) to noise or sensations of heat and cold? Many pediatricians and other experts are beginning to recognize a link between some of these apparently unrelated behavior patterns. Children with perfectly normal "far senses" (such as sight and hearing) may have, because of a poorly integrated nervous system, serious problems with their "near senses," including touch, balance, and internal muscle sensation. It's called Sensory Integration Dysfunction, or SI. The announcement of yet another new syndrome is bound to raise skeptical eyebrows--and with good reason. (How do we know which child really has SI, and which one just happens to share some of the same symptoms?) Author Carol Stock Kranowitz argues convincingly, however, that for some children SI is a real disorder, and that it is devastating partly because it so often looks like nothing so much as "being difficult." And, whatever the scientific status of SI, Kranowitz carefully details many routines and remedies that will help children--and the parents of children--who exhibit the behaviors described. This book is a must-read for all doctors, pediatricians, and (perhaps especially) childcare workers. --Richard Farr

The Einstein Syndrome: Bright Children Who Talk Late by Thomas Sowell

Synopsis The author of Late-Talking Children returns to report on research that moves this phenomenon firmly into the realm of well-established science-the definitive book on this syndrome for parents, teachers, and others. The Einstein Syndrome is a follow-up to Late-Talking Children, which established Thomas Sowell as a leading spokesman on the subject of late-talking children. While many children who talk late suffer from developmental disorders or autism, there is a certain well-defined group who are developmentally normal or even quite bright, yet who may go past their fourth birthday before beginning to talk. These children are often misdiagnosed as autistic or retarded, a mistake that is doubly hard on parents who must first worry about their apparently handicapped children and then see them lumped into special classes and therapy groups where all the other children are clearly very different. Since he first became involved in this issue in the mid-90s, Sowell has joined with Stephen Camarata of Vanderbilt University, who has conducted a much broader, more rigorous study of this phenomenon than the anecdotes reported in Late-Talking Children. Sowell can now identify a particular syndrome, a cluster of common symptoms and family characteristics, that differentiates these late-talking children from others; relate this syndrome to other syndromes; speculate about its causes; and describe how children with this syndrome are likely to develop. About the Author Thomas Sowell is Rose and Milton Friedman Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution of Stanford University. He lives in Stanford, California.

Is This Your Child? : Discovering and Treating Unrecognized Allergies in Children and Adults by Doris J. Rapp

Editorial Reviews-Book Description IS THIS YOUR CHILD? These are the major symptoms of potentially unrecognized allergies. Does your child suffer from any of the following? • Allergic Nose Rub • Eye Circles • Red Ears • Red Cheeks • Eye Wrinkles • Aggression • Lack of Alertness • Mottled Tongue • In this breakthrough book, Dr. Doris Rapp offers a simple yet effective approach to handling "problem" children. Is This Your Child? shows parents how to identify the common foods, chemicals, or common allergic substances that could be the culprits that cause some children or adults to feel unwell or act inappropriately. If your child is always sick, hyperactive, a slow learner, or cranky, the first question you should ask is not "What drug should be prescribed?" or "What have I done wrong as a parent?" Instead, find out the cause. Dr. Rapp gives sensible suggestions about how these reactions to foods and environmental factors can be recognized, prevented, and treated. With this information, many affected children should feel, act, behave, and learn better. If you can detect unsuspected environmental illness in your child--or yourself--you can change your lives so you're more content, happy, and free of illness. Ingram A guide to identifying the common allergies that cause health and behavioral problems in children offers directions on how allergy reactions such as hyperactivity, sickness, and learning problems can be prevented through diet.

Thinking In Pictures : and Other Reports from My Life with Autism by Temple Grandin

Product Description: Temple Grandin, Ph.D., is a gifted animal scientist who has designed one third of all the livestock-handling facilities in the United States. She also lectures widely on autism because she is autistic, a woman who thinks, feels, and experiences the world in ways that are incomprehensible to the rest of us. In this unprecedented book, Grandin writes from the dual perspectives of a scientist and an autistic person. She tells us how she managed to breach the boundaries of autism to function in the outside world. What emerges is the document of an extraordinary human being, one who gracefully bridges the gulf between her condition and our own while shedding light on our common identity. "There are innumerable astounding facets to this remarkable book...Displaying uncanny powers of observation...[Temple Grandin] charts the differences between her life and the lives of those who think in words."--Philadelphia Inquirer

 

Maverick Mind: A Mother's Story of Solving the Mystery of Her Unreachable, Unteachable, Silent Son by Cheri L., Ph.D. Florance, Marin Gazzaniga

Product Description: The remarkable story of how one mother, faced with the almost insurmountable learning problems of her son, battled doctors, schools, and his disabilities to give him a chance to learn. As a scientist and therapist, Cheri Florance had the skills and training to help her patients to overcome speech and hearing difficulties. But she was not completely prepared to encounter her toughest challenge-her own son Whitney. From birth Whitney appeared unable to hear, seemed incapable of making any sounds, and was indifferent to those around him. Although the diagnosis of autism seemed to fit, Cheri could not accept the life that such a condition predicted for Whitney. She recognized something in him that no one else saw-a boy desperate to connect; a boy skilled at building models and solving problems that reflected a highly visual intelligence; a boy who was trapped by his inability to communicate. In Cheri Florance's intense search for answers, she not only found her son but discovered something profound about the way the brain works and how we learn. Hers is a story that will resonate with any parent who has struggled to help a child, while it also illuminates the mysteries of the brain.
