In Conquering Learning Disabilities at Any Age, Dr. Bryan Mark Rigg accomplishes several goals. First, he explains what Learning Disabilities (LD) in general are, and what Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and dyslexia are in particular. As a trained and established historian, Dr. Rigg gives historical explanations and background of where these conditions come from and why we have them. After defining and exploring LD, ADHD and dyslexia, Dr. Rigg chronicles his life of ADHD and dyslexia and how he struggled with it and has used it, ultimately, to his benefit. In doing this, he has consulted countless experts and interviewed former teachers to bring to light the techniques that helped him succeed as a student, as a professional and as a parent. And in using his life as an example, he tries to accomplish three goals for three communities. The first goal is to inspire teachers who teach children with LD issues. He provides countless tactics one might bring to the classroom to help and inspire children with LD, especially ADHD and dyslexia. His second goal is to encourage and help parents of children with LD issues. He explores what his mother, Marilee Rigg, did for him in order to help give other parents examples of what enabled him to overcome his learning disabilities not only in the classroom, but also out in society and at home. Lastly, his third goal with writing this book is to inspire his ADHD/dyslexic/LD "cousins" to work on their condition and turn it into their friend and not into their crutch. Using his biographical narrative, Dr. Rigg gives countless examples of how one might better understand LD issues, which really have only been studied for the past five or six decades. In conclusion, Dr. Rigg uses humor, scholarship, story-telling and history in order to shed new light on an issue that affects millions of people throughout the world and how one might best deal with the LD in their lives and/or in the lives of their loved ones.
