"This book is about children who struggled in school and subsequently changed their cognitive functioning and altered their lives. They struggled with learning disabilities, and, in many cases, attention disorders as well. This book is about their resiliance and determination to improve their lives. It is about their parents, who resisted accepting the common opinion that cognitive functioning is fixed, focusing instead on giving their children futures filled with possibilities. It is about a cognitive functioning remediation approach called the Arrowsmith program."--Introduction, XIII.
