Canadian Research in Learning Disabilities, 1968-1989: A Case of Bias by Neglect.

Flynn, Mark

Canadian Journal of Special Education, v8 n1 p1-18 1992

Analysis of 85 journal articles and 36 doctoral theses disseminated in Canada revealed that the functionalist definition of learning disability and the assumption of specific etiology remain fixed in Canadian special education research. This finding suggests the need to introduce an ecological perspective in future studies of learning disability. (Author/JDD)
