Children with Learning Problems: Readings in a Developmental-Interaction Approach.
Sapir, Selma G., Ed.; Nitzburg, Ann C., Ed.
This comprehensive volume presents selected articles representing the major viewpoints on learning problems in children. Specialized practitioners in the fields of special education, psychology, psychiatry, and social work are encouraged to reject a narrow, limited perspective, and to view the child with a learning problem as a single, constantly changing individual with physical and emotional needs, as well as cognitive ones. Part I presents major theories of normal development; Part II examines children described as suffering from "minimal brain dysfunction"; Part III deals with causes of learning disorders; Part IV provides an overview of normal and deviant learning patterns; Part V covers a variety of testing devices and a developmental scale to assist in preventing learning disabilities; and Part VI includes contributions on play, behavior therapy, use of medication, and deficit-centered classroom training.
