Produktbeschreibung

This book examines the field of learning disabilities and the education of learning disabled (LD) children through the eyes of several experts. Contributors bring to the book such diverse academic backgrounds as education, psychology, special education, and medicine. The chapters, adapted from lectures given at the Landmark West School in California, include pertinent and representative audience questions and responses. Chapters on new medications for the LD child, contemporary research on dyslexia, and educational strategies for improving reading are complemented by chapters on social and emotional issues that affect the families of learning disabled children, adolescents, and young adults.
