Three newsletters focus on disability issues. The first provides an overview of the nature of learning disabilities (LD) and intervention approaches for the condition. Research on effective educational methods for use with LD students is reviewed for such topic areas as the transition from school to work and independent living. Suggestions for preparing LD students for college are offered, including approaches for use by high school teachers. The Massachusetts legislation barring of the use of standardized achievement tests as higher education admission criteria for students diagnosed as developmentally disabled is briefly described. The second issue addresses psychological testing of children with disabilities, focusing on infant development scales, preschool and school-age intelligence tests, special abilities tests, and personality tests. Issues involved in testing children with specific handicapping conditions are reviewed. The third issue of the newsletter presents guidelines to help parents and families find information and services, cope with stress, and prepare for the future. (CL)
