OverviewMost of the literature on learning disabilities and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) focuses on the needs of elementary school--age children, but older students with these conditions also require significant support. Comprehensive and authoritative, this book helps educators and clinicians navigate the maze of laws, policies, and scientific research relating to diagnostic and intervention decision making for adolescents and adults. Leading expert Noel Gregg provides clear guidance on how to conduct and document evidence-based assessments and select appropriate instructional and testing accommodations. Featuring helpful case vignettes, decision-making flowcharts, and coverage of the latest assistive technologies, the book gives special attention to supporting students during the crucial transition from high school to higher education or vocational settings. This book will be invaluable to secondary-level special educators and school psychologists; clinical psychologists and neuropsychologists working with adult LD and ADHD; college counselors and disability service providers; vocational rehabilitation counselors. It may also serve as a supplemental text in graduate-level courses. Full Product DetailsAuthor: Noël Gregg , Donald D. Deshler , Martha L. Thurlow , James B.

Table of ContentsReviewsGregg's timely work contrasts the intensive services delivered to children with learning disabilities and ADHD to the relative dearth of efforts for these individuals as they transition into adulthood. Often unrecognized, minimized, or ignored, this 'silent epidemic' results in considerable cost to the individual and society. Thorough yet accessible, the book presents systemic assessment and intervention strategies designed to accommodate these individuals' learning and psychosocial needs. --James B. Hale, PhD, Department of Psychology, Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine A great resource in an area that has many challenges. I particularly like the way the solid research base is translated into implications for assessment and accommodation. Loaded with valuable information, this book fills an important gap in the literature. --Martha L. Thurlow, PhD, Director, National Center on Educational Outcomes, University of Minnesota An exceptionally well-written, detailed, authoritative, and science-based review of appropriate educational accommodations for teens and adults with learning disabilities and/or ADHD, and the documentation needed to obtain them. It is the best contemporary treatment of this topic available. The book is rich with useful recommendations pertaining to multiple aspects of individual functioning, including cognitive, social, emotional, behavioral, and academic domains. Highly readable, instructive, and punctuated with informative case examples, this book should prove beneficial to clinicians, educators, and graduate students. --Russell A. Barkley, PhD, ABPP, Department of Psychiatry, Medical University of South Carolina Written by an expert in the field, this book is coherent and insightful. Gregg's coverage of up-to-date research is comprehensive, and she has an exceptional ability to identify and describe practical applications. The book meets a tremendous need. --H.
