Third Edition
Edited By
Bernice Wong, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada
Description
Bernice Wong's Learning about Learning Disabilities was the first text to give equal attention to the intellectual, conceptual,
and practical aspects of learning disabilities. The Third Edition of this popular title presents 80% new material, keeping
the chapters up to date in this fast-moving field. With new contributors, and seven new chapters, coverage is both comprehensive and
thorough, with three sections encompassing the research aspects of learning disabilities, the instructional aspects of learning disabilities,
and the issues germane to different age ranges of the learning disabled: children, adolescents, and adults.
Chapters summarizing research
on learning disabilities include coverage of ADHD, memory, language processing, social competence, self-regulation, and brain structures
as they apply to learning disabilities. Chapters focusing on instructional aspects of learning disabilities include coverage of teaching
literacy, reading comprehension, writing, and mathematics.
Readers will find Learning About Learning Disabilities, Third edition
suitable for use as a reference source for researchers or a graduate level text.

as consultation skills and service delivery."
