Many of the suggestions presented in this excellent book are actually simply common sense (like making exams, quizzes and tests legible, with sufficient white space and no surprises). With that in mind, I wish that grade school, high school and university/college instructors would read Nonverbal

Learning Disabilities at School (and realise that while many students might be able to "handle" small fonts, cluttered spacing, unclear blackboard writing etc., students with NLD, Apserger's syndrome and the like, often cannot and should not be forced to either). A great font of hands-on information that should be required reading for teachers, professors, teaching assistants, basically anyone working in an educational setting.
