Learning disabilities : characteristics, identification, and teaching strategies
2008
Book
"Using the author's nearly thirty years of experience in working with children and adolescents who have learning disabilities, this new edition presents the latest research and information on learning disabilities in each developmental area. It focuses on identification and eligibility issues, incorporating the newly released rules and regulations on RTI, IDEA 2004, and the No Child Left Behind legislation. The text stresses both the characteristics of students with learning disabilities and classroom-tested instructional strategies. With up-to-date content, this practical guide also offers insight into practical educational concerns from a teacher's perspective, as well as the relevant scholarship."--Jacket.
