Hi All,

When I was in college, back in the 20th century, the text of choice was
"Learning Disabilities" by Janet Lerner.  I am sure the text has been
revised several times.  Her books and study guides are still available on
Amazon and probably in college bookstores.

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.

Thanks,
