Designed to help pre-service teachers and practicing professionals evaluate and aid students with disabilities, this comprehensive text is guided by three main principles: to aid in the assessment and evaluation of students with learning disabilities, to demonstrate Learning Disabled (LD) theory and its practical applications through the use of case studies, and to provide the most up-to-date information on recent developments and topics of debate in the field. The Tenth Edition continues to stress familiarity with state and national standards, specifically those from the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC).

Learning Disabilities: Theories Diagnosis and Teaching Strategies

Houghton Mifflin (T)

The success of this text, which focuses on identifying and helping students with learning disabilities, is based on three key elements. First, Learning Disabilities provides a comprehensive overview of this complex subject by covering theoretical approaches within the field, procedures for assessing and evaluating students, skills in the art of clinical teaching, teaching methods and strategies, and requirements of special education laws. Second, this text offers balanced coverage of both theories and teaching strategies with cases. Third, Learning Disabilities contains up-to-the-minute research and information that reflects the rapid changes and advances in this field.

Learning Disabilities : Theories Diagnosis and Teaching Strategies

This book, which set the standard for students working toward certification in special education, includes a cross-categorical emphasis that makes it suitable for a broad number of courses, including those aimed at teaching students with mild disabilities and which are part of many states' certification requirements. The book describes the characteristics of learning disabilities as well as various mild disabilities, and offers teaching strategies for general education teachers, special education teachers, school psychologists, and other related professionals. Preservice and in-service classroom teachers, who are increasingly responsible for teaching students with special needs within general education or inclusive classrooms, will find it especially helpful.
