There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later. My daughter suffered a brain injury that took most of her skills, including reading, writing. When the time came when we were fortunate enough to be able to begin teaching her, with each step forward came a new challenge for us We were lucky to find many, many resources online. Then we took to being able to purchase these instruction books on Amazon. The set of activity books are really wonderful. These are written with children in mind, but, we found them to be considerably helpful in our situation.
I do hope that others, with teens or adults that may benefit from this series, does not dismiss them because it states for children with special needs.
