It is important to reaffirm the reality of the learning disabilities (LD) phenomenon as a condition that imposes genuine constraints on a student's ability to function, and not as some chimerical entity defined by an ever-changing political situation. Perceptual, memory, attention, linguistic, social, cognitive and neuropsychological factors are an integral part of LD. By mapping out in great detail and with much new data the acquired knowledge on learning disabilities, both empirical and theoretical, this book unravels many mysteries. This book is a landmark in learning disabilities studies, and it lays down solid foundations for future research and practical intervention in the field.

The category of learning disabilities continues to be among the most contentious in special education. Much of the debate and dissent emanates from a lack of understanding about its basic nature. The failure to evolve a comprehensive and unified perspective about the nature of learning disabilities has resulted in the concept being lost. The loss is best illustrated through the failure to answer this seemingly simple question: What is a learning disability? Using historical, empirical, theoretical, conceptual, and philosophical analyses, this volume explores a number of problems and issues facing the field of learning disabilities. The chapters cover historical influences, definitional problems, primary characteristics, assessment practices, theoretical development, major themes, research and measurement models, and long-term outcomes. The goal is to explicate the nature of learning disabilities by analyzing what it was supposed to be, what it has become, and what it might be. A predominant theme running through this text is the necessity for the field of learning disabilities to regain integrity by recapturing its essence.

This book is written to enable educators and parents to understand the nature of learning disability so they in turn can transform the capabilities of their students. Many children have difficulties learning in school and college, but not all are learned disabled. A specific learning disability occurs when difficulty with reading, writing or mathematics actively interferes with the learning process. Most learning disabled individuals are bright, intelligent and creative, yet may struggle in reading, writing or arithmetic. This book discusses how to identify the exact nature of the learning disability, outlines procedures for assessment and diagnosis, and suggests methods that have proven to be effective. Practical guidelines and resources are available for teachers, educators and parents. Anyone working with a learning disabled individual will find this book an invaluable resource and tool. Children with dyslexia and other learning disabilities do become contributing adults, head corporations and institutions, and make remarkable achievements in diverse fields. The diagnosis of a learning disability is no longer a stigmatising label but a stamp that upholds the child’s uniqueness. Written in clear, simple language, the book is an absolute must for parents, educators and other concerned individuals who want to jumpstart their child’s educational future.
