About the Author:
Dr. Harold Levinson, a world-renowned psychiatrist and neurologist, began his pioneering research on dyslexia 40 years ago within the New York City Board of Education. Previously Clinical Associate Professor of Psychiatry at NYU Medical Center, Dr. Levinson is currently Clinical/Research Director of The Levinson Medical Center for Learning Disabilities now active in New York, England, and Hong Kong. He has written eight books and many scientific papers dealing with the cerebellar-vestibular (inner-ear) origins and treatments of dyslexia, and related learning, attention deficit and anxiety or phobic disorders. His groundbreaking research has been presented at forums worldwide and reviewed by such popular media as The New York Times, Science, Time, and Smithsonian, as well as presented on national and even international radio and TV (i.e., Donahue, Larry King Live, BBC, etc.). Dr. Levinson s highly original concepts have recently been supported and independently validated by Nobel Prize winning and other outstanding scientists and are now considered decades ahead of its time.
Review:
Dr. Levinson has obviously drawn on extensive practical experience and a thorough review of relevant basic science and research data. This book should give hope to parents of children who have experienced phobias, balance disorders, disequilibrium, and learning disabilities. --Kenneth M. Grundfast, M.D., Chairman, Department of Otolryngology, Children's Hospital, National Medical Center
There is little doubt that Dr. Levinson's multimodal approach to dyslexic patients and various medications can improve reading and writing skills. I recommend this book and believe in the author's approach to these children, many of whom benefit from his diagnositc evaluation, treatment, and management. --J. T. Jabour, M.D., Journal of Clinical Psychiatry
This text is brilliantly written...may well prevent the bruising of the self-esteem and egos of young school children. --Leonard S. Girsh, M.D., Director, Allergy & Clinical Immunology, Medical College of Pennsylvania, and Chairman, Neuro-Allergy Committee, American College of Allergists
