The Shut-Down Learner: Helping Your Academically Discouraged Child, by Dr.Selznick, describes a common, but poorly understood group of characteristics. Referred to as "Lego kids" or "high spatial children," such kids thrive with hands-on tasks that "load" on visual and spatial abilities.

"I was impressed with your ability to discuss the various types of reading, writing and spelling weaknesses while emphasizing the spatial giftedness that these children possess. I will be recommending this book to the parents and students that I see in my practice as a must read."
- Carlo B. Melini, MD FAAP, Clinical Associate, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia
