Reviews

The chapters are ordered in a logical sequence wherein the reader is introduced to learning disabilities as a distinct and separate field and then gradually provided with more specific research-driven chapters focusing on aptitude achievement discrepancy, cognitive processing, response to intervention, low achievement, and evidenced-based practices. The book concludes with a discussion of comorbidity and differential diagnoses... The author does an excellent job of infusing into the text current research and questions being studied now...The book ... has value for clinicians and scholars who may not directly teach the subject or specialize in assessment but who are likely to come into contact with populations with learning disabilities. Victoria A. Comerchero (PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 59, No. 44, Article 6)
