Learning Disabilities.
Lyon, G. Reld
Future of Children, v6 n1 p54-76 Spr 1996
Reviews historical events that molded the field of learning disabilities (LDs); addresses issues related to the prevalence of LDs and advances in identification, classification, and intervention practices directed at children with LDs. While focus is placed on deficits in basic reading and early intervention, other academic, social, and behavioral manifestations also are important and cannot be adequately addressed by reading-skill programs alone.
