Considering Research Sense and Policy Cents in the Development of a Metatheory for Learning Disabilities.

Ellis, Edwin S.; And Others

Journal of Learning Disabilities, v21 n4 p223-26 Apr 1988

In response to H. Lee Swanson's paper, "Toward a Metatheory of Learning Disabilities," this counterpoint addresses the role of basic versus applied research, limitations of the procedure proposed by Swanson for establishing external validity and proving the metatheory, and limitations of metatheoretical research with regard to developing public funding policies.
