Problems for Clinical Diagnosis.
Campbell, Susan B. Goodman
Journal of Learning Disabilities, v12 n8 p511-13 Oct 1979
The author examines implications of the P.L. 94-142 (the Education for All Handicapped Children Act) definition of learning disability, and cites two cases to illustrate two basic problems: that the definition is both overinclusive and underinclusive, and that it does not consider underlying causes.
