Handbook of Learning Disabilities Zusammenfassung

Handbook of Learning Disabilities H. Lee Swanson

This comprehensive Handbook reviews the major theoretical, methodological and instructional advances that have occurred in the field of learning disabilities over the last twenty years. With contributions from leading researchers, the volume synthesizes a vast body of knowledge on the nature of learning disabilities, their relationship to basic psychological and brain processes, and how students with these difficulties can best be identified and treated. Findings are reviewed on ways to support student performance in specific skill areas, including language, arts, maths, science and social studies, as well as general principles of effective instruction that cut across academic domains. Authoritative and up to date, the book also examines the concepts and methods that guide learning disability research and identifies promising directions for future investigation.

The volume's coverage of instructional issues makes it an incredibly useful text for practitioner-oriented courses.' - Keith E. Stanovich, PhD, Department of Human Development and Applied Psychology, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto, Canada
