Handbook of Learning Disabilities

This definitive handbook is now in an extensively revised third edition, including many all-new chapters and new topics. Foremost experts review the breadth of current knowledge about learning disabilities (LD), from core psychological and neurobiological processes to evidence-based instruction. Chapters describe best practices in identifying and supporting students with difficulties in reading, writing, math, and other content areas. Service delivery models that support differentiated instruction and data-based decision making are examined, and ways to meet the needs of specific populations, including English learners with LD, are explored. Prior edition editors: H. Lee Swanson, Karen R. Harris, and Steve Graham.
