Summary
"In-depth and highly readable, Learning Disabilities explores learning disabilities among children and adolescents. This volume discusses professional practice, presents subtypes of learning disabilities, and explores the dimensions of psychosocial functioning. The authors introduce a comprehensive, cohesive model of neuropsychological assessment and intervention that can be used for both children and adolescents. They also provide detailed case studies that exemplify the major subtypes of learning disabilities and illustrate the application of general principles for use in day-to-day practice. Clinical psychologists and others whose professional practice brings them into contact with children and adolescents who exhibit learning disabilities will find this volume superb in its scope, statement of the issues, and in its presentation of guidelines for helping this population."--Jacket.
