Outcast to Outstanding: The Practical Guide to Understanding & Addressing the Drivers of Your Child's Behavior (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780692925652)

Luiza Y. Coscia has a Bachelor's of Science degree in engineering and earned her real life PhD in child behavior while raising and homeschooling her 5 children who required creative interventions due to special needs. During a successful engineering career, Luiza honed her problem solving and analytical skills, skills that she now uniquely applies to child behavior in order to nurture the diamond in the rough. Just as she developed tutoring methods that brought a multitude of struggling students from C to A while in college, she uses similar methods to develop strategies that effectively address the actual underlying cause of behaviors, and achieves behavioral transformations by not simply treating the symptoms. Her personable, friendly approach and real-life perspective is what sets her and this book apart.
