Rethinking Learning Disabilities - Deborah P. Waber - Bog - Guilford Publications - Plusbog.dk

Experts have yet to reach consensus about what a learning disability is, how to determine if a child has one, and what to do about it.

Integrating findings from education, developmental psychology, and cognitive neuroscience, she offers a novel approach with direct practical implications. Detailed real-world case studies illustrate how this approach can promote positive outcomes for children who struggle in school.
