My recommendations are the following:

Gerber, P.J. & Reiff, H.B. (1994).  Learning Disabilities in Adulthood. Stoneham, 
Massachusetts: Butterworth-Heinemann.
Johnson, D.J. & Blalock, J.W. (1987). Adults with Learning Disabilities Clinical Studies. 
Orlando, Florida: Grune & Stratton, Inc.

While they are a few years old -- they are classics and have stood the test of time.  The Johnson/Blalock book is the one that actually convinced me to work in this field and ignited a passion that have never died.

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. 


Thanks,

Rochelle
