1. How did reading this book help you to better understand how a child experiences this disorder? What parts of this disorder and/or experience were new to you? Surprised you?
2. In what ways did reading the book help you to gain empathy for a child dealing with these issues? What about parents?
3. Based on the book, describe some possible ways this type of disorder could impact a child in school? Academically? Socially?
4. Imagine this child attends a school where you are employed as the school psychologist. They are considered to be a child with a disability. What IDEA classification do you think might be most relevant for describing this child? Describe the features of the classification and whether or not you believe the child meets those criteria.
