Publisher's Synopsis
The essays in this text explore the reality of the learning disabilities phenomenon as a condition that imposes genuine constraints on a student's ability to function, and not some chimerical entity defined by an ever-changing political situation. Perceptual, memory, attention, linguistic, social, cognitive and neuropsychological factors are an integral part of learning difficulties. By mapping out in detail and with new data the acquired knowledge on learning disabilities, both empirical and theoretical, this book attempts to unravel some of the mysteries.
