内容説明

The success of this text is based on three key elements. First and foremost, Learning Disabilities uses a varied approach to provide a comprehensive overview of this complex subject. The text covers theoretical approaches within the field, procedures for assessing and evaluating students, skills in the art of clinical teaching, and teaching methods and strategies. Secondly, the text offers a balance between information on theory and teaching strategies with cases. Lastly, Learning Disabilities reflects Lerner's commitment to keeping her readership fully informed of the rapid changes and advances in this field. The result is comprehensive, as Learning Disabilities offers valuable strategies for teaching students to a wide range of professionals: classroom teachers, special education teachers, school psychologists, administrators, language pathologists, counsellors, and related professionals. Highlights of the new ninth edition include: - New! Chapter 7, "Attention Deficit Disorder," combines all ADD/ADHD material into one chapter and adds new material to address the needs of an increasing number of students who are being diagnosed with attention deficit disorder - New!
