About the author

Dee Braun, DrR, CA, CCT Dee Braun ~ I am a Certified Aromatherapist, Reiki Master, Holistic Health Practitioner, Master Herbalist, Dr. of Reflexology and single mom who is dedicated to helping others any way I can. One way I choose to help is by offering information on the benefits and uses of natural healing methods.

The earth is wracked with pain. Children are starving. Nations remain divided by mistrust and hatred. Everywhere the air and water have been fouled almost beyond help. Do something!" ~Michael Jackson

    Learning A Living is a comprehensive and effective guide book for anyone with a learning disability, attention deficit disorder, or dyslexia in planning for a career or finding a job. A compendium of practical ideas, Learning A Living shows how to evaluate strengths and weaknesses; participate in the high school IEP process; select a suitable college or technical school; get feedback from friends, family, therapists, mentors; obtain accommodations at school and on the job; practice social skills; research potential careers and companies; network within professional and support associations; present oneself well on paper and in person; know and apply legal rights under state and federal anti-discrimination employment laws. Learning A Living is an essential, core title for personal, school, and community job center reference shelves.

    This book provides high school students and adults with a variety of strategies to help them explore career options, find a jobs and keep the jobs. It encourages flexible, positive thinking about job options. The book is formatted in a way that makes it accessible to its intended audience. The print is large, the and the goals of each section are clearly stated. The author gives excellent information about asking for accommodations, but she does not lose sight of the individual’s need for self-knowledge and personal responsibility. Carol E. Watkins, M.D.

    This wonderful book is a great resource for all of those professionals who have occasion to counsel people with learning disabilities. Easy to understand advice on issues such as education and career are presented. Interestingly, I believe that the information in this book is also helpful to non learning disabled young people who need a common sense and practical approach to “learning a living”. As a physician, this book has been a helpful resource on many occasions.

    Learning a Living is a helpful career and educational guide aimed primarily for those with learning disability. However, its common sense approach and pragmatic ideas are helpful for those of us who are also non learning disabled. A wonderful resource for learning disabled, those who live or work with the learning disabled, and those who are beginning to make educational/career decisions. Thank you, Dale Brown

    Do not let the title of this book fool you. Although it is designed to help people with specific types of disabilities choose a career, and find and keep a job, it is an excellent work with a wealth of sound advice of us all. Carefully researched and written in a clear and concise style, it is one of the best books on career and employment issues I have ever read.
    The book consists of an introduction, 15 chapters, a bibliography, and an index. The book is a treasure trove of information and techniques that should be useful to everyone, not just people with the specific disabilities described in the title.
    The book is well organized and written in a clear an easy to understand style that helps the reader to analyze and deal with the various issues faced by people with learning disabilities, Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), and Dyslexia.
    However, as I read through the book I realized that these are issues that everyone faces when they are looking for a job, dealing with school, and handling workplace problems. The author’s advice is applicable to all of us. Her thoughtful counsel about advancing in the work place, dealing with co workers, looking for a job, and all the other things she addresses, is good solid advice for all.
    I highly recommend this book to everyone, disabled or not. I would call this book “Universal Design for Finding and Keeping the Job of your Choice!” Everyone should buy and read this book!
