LEARNING DISABILITIES BOOK SUMMARY

This work, while written by an academician, is an uncomplicated resource of information addressed to parents who have been introduced to the concept of Special Education for the first time. Overall, this work is a road map of how-to activities which will be of assistance from the beginning to end of the special education process.

Part I is an introduction to the environmental influences since World War II, that are believed to be contributing to the incidence of learning disabilities that is increasing at a rate of 20% every 10 years.

Part II includes a definition and history of special education and its intended role and function in the effort to educate all children. The reader is introduced to the process of determining eligibility for Special Education, and Federal and State Legislation are explored in terms of the parent's rights in the process.

Part III is an exploration of processing disorders as required for a designation of learning disability. Behaviors exhibited in the classroom, a rationale for the behavior, along with modifications and accommodations for the general education classroom are listed. These interventions are applied to the elementary, middle school, and high school environments as an aid in developing the individualized education plan (IEP).


COMMENTS FROM READERS

You will make a world of difference for those who read your book on learning disabilities....Joilene Richards,San Francisco, California, Retired School Counselor

The book on learning disabilities was an easy read. No complicated studies to decipher, just valuable information which can be readily utilized. I could have used some of these ideas when I was working with this population.... Alice Benson, Seneca, South Carolina ...retired teacher of learning handicapped children.

"We know that there's …huge denial about the needs of the kind of children you care about. All of us "learning disabled kids" have the potential to become valuable citizens but it takes wise teaching vs. the abuse that too often comes our way.” This Book on Learning Disabilities will prove to be a lifesaver for some lucky child with parents that really care and are willing to become involved."... Anita King, Rossmore, Californuia, Medical Social Worker.

"A road map for the lost, a manual for the confused, a text for students, and a must for the advocate."...Edith K. Jones, retired teacher of handicapped children.

"There's always more to learn. We're never too old to teach. You are offering such valuable help! We know that some parents need support for years -- even decades. I hope you find a few people who will use your wisdom wisely."...Uncheetah Wilson, San Francisco, California, retired Social Worker.
