A thorough, up-to-date resource on the full spectrum of
childhood learning disorders
In this Second Edition of Disorders of Learning in Childhood, Drs.
Archie Silver and Rosa Hagin present a comprehensive synthesis of
information regarding the classification and causes of various types
of learning difficulties, as well as multidisciplinary strategies for
working with children and their families in school or clinical
settings. Bridging the communication gap between professionals in the
field, this book advocates the coordinated efforts of administrators,
scientists, teachers, and practitioners to better help young people
with learning disabilities.
Drawing on their vast training and experience, the authors utilize
valuable data from various disciplines–education, psychology,
psychiatry, neurology–and offer a balanced perspective, supported by
the latest clinical research on disorders in children. They address
and analyze critical issues ranging from the effects of political,
social, and legal forces currently influencing educational policy to
the latest advances in neuroscience affecting the understanding and
management of children with learning problems. Also provided are
expanded coverage of reading, spelling, writing, and mathematical
disabilities; current definitions of specific disorders; and the
effects of poverty, drugs, and cultural differences on learning.
An extremely comprehensive resource ideal for clinicians,
teachers, and administrators, Disorders of Learning in Childhood
brings an expertise to the subject that no other reference can match.
