About this listen

The Pocket Learner is an educational system that the author developed to help her child with special educational needs. The system became an international multi-award-winning innovation, and has been extended to families across the globe to help their children build vocabulary, learn to read, and count. The author realized that several factors needed to be in place for her child to thrive in contemporary society.

First, she had to learn the hard way, battling every step of the way to access resources, therapies, and care support for her child. In addition, she had to find ways to engage her child in the home. This led her to develop the Special Education Advancement Toolkit: an inspirational, educational model and guide for parents of children struggling in their early years, or who have been diagnosed with special educational needs. It incorporates The Pocket Learner as the main resource in the toolkit.

The structure is built on six principles represented by the acronyms hope, faith, gentle(ness), joy, love, and peace. The framework revolves around the child: the star, fruit of the womb endowed with innate abilities and gifts. The toolkit covers the range of roles, responsibilities, and activities that families and other relevant parties must implement.

The program consists of six P's:

  • Perception: The journey into HOPE technique.
  • Preparation: The accelerated FAITH roadmap.
  • Participation: The GENTLE approach solution.
  • Progress: The JOY generator toolkit.
  • Patience: The LOVE game strategy.
  • Potential: The PEACE promotion formula.

Zig Ziglar said, “When you put faith, hope, and love together, you can raise positive kids in a negative world.” When you add gentleness, joy, and peace, you raise a balanced, confident child armed with the mindset, skills, and competencies to take their appropriate place in society.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A potent resource for parents and caregivers of children with special educational needs!

This book gave me a lot of ideas and resources to offer the parents of children with special learning needs that I work with. It’s a lot of information that is easy to digest and its empowering to the parents who feel like there are still many more options and ways to receive help.

Valuable and Creative Guide and Resource!

As an educator, I was delighted to find this book and found it to be a valuable, relatable guide. I know from experience with parents and caregivers that navigating the care of a special needs child can be a scary and overwhelming journey. This book provides abundant practical suggestions and guidance. It is written with deep love and care for the diverse experiences of all humans. Each section has an acronym to guide the main actions and considerations making them easy to remember. For example, Chapter 6 is called Potential: The PEACE promotion formula - each letter in PEACE stands for a part of the toolkit. I plan to recommend this book to parents and caregivers. I especially enjoyed the chapter highlighting famous people who have disabilities; children with special needs can be inspired by these stories and enjoy them together with their families and caregivers. The narration is excellent.

Must have reference on audio too!

The pocket Learner gives parents and Caregivers tools to use for learning and social situations of their special needs child or even adult.

The beauty is this can be used in the real world or at home which is where most parents are often dealing with ways to give a gentle, loving and fun way to learn and thrive that can include others in the home as well.

Overflowing with useful information and knowledge.

This Audiable is packed full of useful information and knowledge that is easy to access and understand. The six key principles of HOPE, FAITH, GENTLENESS, JOY, LOVE, and PEACE are the foundation of the system and provide a clear framework for how to approach special needs education. I highly recommend this resource to any parent or caregiver of a child or adult with special educational needs and disabilities.

Great Resource!

“The Pocket Learner” The view of advocating for your child should be for every parent, but it is one for that a parent of special needs is perhaps even more so. The 6 step approach Campbell uses will help you be more supportive and encouraging and communicate with practitioners. Overall this book is inspiring, and the “toolkit” will make your life and your child's life easier. Highly recommended!

Resource for Special Needs Families

I recently listened to the book "The Pocket Learner: Special Needs Education" which is an exceptional and compassionate toolkit for every parent and caregiver of a child or adult with special educational needs and disabilities.
It provides an inspirational resource for those navigating the often complex world of special education. It also covers a broad spectrum of topics, from understanding different disabilities and conditions to navigating the educational system, advocating for services, and promoting the overall well-being of individuals with special needs.
It offers practical advice, resources, and insights to empower parents and caregivers to become effective advocates for their loved ones.
It equips them with the tools they need to navigate the educational system, access necessary support services, and ensure that their children or adults with special needs receive the best possible care and education.
It serves as a reminder that with the proper knowledge and resources, parents and caregivers can make a profound difference in the lives of those with special needs. It's a book that not only educates but also empowers and inspires readers to become effective advocates and champions for their loved ones.

Everything You Need to Know

This audiobook gives you everything you need to know and guides you through the challenges of learning for your special needs child. This book offers an incredible system for helping your child learn. This system revolves around the child and helps you discover new ways to be involved in your special needs child's education.

The system of the six Ps gives hope and inspiration to parents who may feel powerless when it comes to helping their child. I love the way the author shares her hard earned experience to help other parents.

It takes a village... This guide also teaches you how to involve family and friends to ensure the child has consistent positive interactions that really help.

If you have a special needs child, get this book in your toolkit.
