If she wants one for children , I'm not the one to make recommendations ..

Disabilities in Adulthood by Arlen Roffman

Subject: [LearningDisabilities 908] Basic Text on Learning Disabilities


Hi all,
 
I received a request from an undergraduate student asking for a
recommendation of a textbook she could read that would cover the basics on
Learning Disabilities.  She has a family member with suspected, yet
undiagnosed learning disabilities. She wants more than a few articles and
doesn't want to complete online training. She thinks that possibly a career
in teaching LD might be ahead for her and wants to begin reading a scholarly
text on her own time.
 
Do you have any good recommendations?  If those of you that teach at the
undergraduate or graduate level can suggest some titles and authors, I will
forward this on to her.  Recommendations for all others will be gratefully
appreciated as well.   <http://cdn-cf.aol.com/se/smi/0201e05fcb/01> 
 
 
Thanks,
 
Rochelle
