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." "Readers will find Learning About Learning Disabilities,
Third Edition suitable for use as a reference source for researchers or a graduate
level text."--BOOK JACKET
