Description
The ABCs of Learning Disabilities discusses the concept of learning disabilities and major research findings regarding
learning disabled children, adolescents, and adults. Beginning with a history and definition of the field, coverage includes subtype
classification, memory in the learning disabled, social aspects of learning disabilities, metacognition, reading problems, computation
problems, writing skills, assessment, and remediation. Chapters are written in an engaging style, meant to encourage the beginning student
to identify the "big picture" and to think about implications of conceptual issues and research data.
