Synopsis

Countless Americans, perhaps as many as ten million, are affected by some form of learning disability - a term that includes hundreds of disorders and involves dozens of vocational specialties. This book is a comprehensive analysis of the field of learning disabilities, the largest, fastest growing and one of the most controversial areas in special education today. Roa Lynn surveys the major problem areas of learning disabilities, evaluates past endeavors in the field and examines current research and practice. Uncommonly broad in scope, it not only discusses education and remediation, but probes sensitive and controversial areas of politics and economics, personalities and fads, and the relationship between learning disabilities and juvenile delinquency.
