Learning Disabilities: Characteristics, Identification and Teaching Strategies

All too often, teachers are faced with the difficult task of diagnosing learning disabilities in their students. They need a solid reference for identifying and addressing the individual needs of the students in their classrooms.

This book focuses on both characteristics of students with learning disabilities as well as classroom tested instructional strategies. Written by an author with a great deal of classroom experience, topics include: medical aspects of learning disabilities; cognition and language; personality and social characteristics; learning; placement, services, and educational treatments; and much more! A new chapter on using technology in the classroom keeps this book far ahead of the competition.
