Synopsis

In 1991, Academic Press published Bernice Wong's Learning About Learning Disabilities to great success. The Second Edition will keep up the momentum on this popular title, and bring the chapters up-to-date inthis fast moving field. This is the first text to give equal attention to the intellectual, conceptual, and practical aspects of learning disabilities. Topical coverage is both comprehensive and thorough, and the information presented is up-to-date. Nineteen chapters cover all aspects of learning disabilities, including assessment, attention disorders, memory, language, vision, socialization, reading, writing, and math. The book also offers chapters on learning disabilities in adolescents and adults.

Without exception the chapters are clearly written and accessible, and many provide the reader with challenging ideas and practical suggestions.
