mistaken for being naughty when it’s actually a natural way for
their brain to react. Fed up with everyone not understanding,
Taryn decides to let the world know why Jake isn’t naughty! Join
Taryn as she candidly explains her understanding of autism, and
why there’s always a reason behind everything Jake does.

memory issues for kids with SpLDs.
Why can’t I remember what my parents just asked me to do?
Why do I feel stressed out at school when the teacher is writing
on the board and talking at the same time? What can I do about it?
Working memory issues affect a huge proportion of kids with
learning differences like ADHD, dyslexia, dyscalculia, and ASD.
These issues can make them feel frustrated or bored, as working
memory and intelligence are two different things. Kids with working
memory problems can also act out in the classroom and at home.
In this child-friendly and authoritative guide, international
working memory expert Dr. Tracy Packiam Alloway walks you
through what working memory is, what it feels like to have
problems with your working memory, and what you can do about
it. She presents key tips and strategies that will help children both
at home and at school, and includes a section at the end for adults
describing how they can test for working memory issues.
