Understanding Young Children: Learning Development and Learning Disabilities.
Mayer, Colleen A.
This booklet offers practical, easy-to-read suggestions for teachers, paraprofessionals, and parents to help them understand learning development and learning disabilities. The text outlines how the factors of heredity, maturation, and environment determine the degree of development an individual will achieve. The characteristics of children with learning disabilities are described, and a number of special techniques to assist children in overcoming these disabilities are discussed. This text should prove especially helpful in the training of teachers and caregivers who work with handicapped children in regular classrooms. Cartoon-style drawings illustrate the text. (CS)
