Diagnosis and Management of Learning Disabilities

An Interdisciplinary/Lifespan Approach
A practical "how to" book for teachers of children with learning disabilities. It contains case studies and examples, in non-technical language, of typical classroom problems along with successful methods of varying instruction, content, and presentation.
This book is primarily written for practitioners involved in diagnosis and treatment of children with learning disabilities. It should also be read by parents or professionals who have little familiarity with this problem. These children have a multitude of problems including academic, social, emotional, behavioural and familial. The text follows an interdisciplinary approach to enable an understanding of the child's problems and needs. The authors themselves are from different disciplines; a developmental paediatrician, developmental psychiatrist and an educational psychologist. The life span approach to care is followed and encompasses early identification of learning disabilities, language based learning disabilities, occupational therapy and transition programming. Types of treatment are discussed and the effectiveness of these intervention techniques; as well as how to convey information to parents. This book should be of interest to undergraduates and graduates of educational studies for children with learning disabilities. Parents of children with learning disabilities; professional teachers of children with learning disabilities.
