"Learning Disabilities and Life Stories brings important new perspectives to the study of learning disabilities — those of people living with them. Their poignant and informative narratives combined with the scholarly and timely works of the authors makes this a must read for anyone who works with people challenged by these difficulties who wishes to be both empathetic and effective."
—By Mark Ciocca, Ph. D, ABPP, Capital Valley Counseling Associates, Past President of the New Hampshire Psychological Association
Product Description
This anthology is comprised of two major components: thirteen full-length, autobiographical essays written by persons with learning disabilities and five analytical chapters written by education and psychology scholars. Speaking in terms alternately intimate and analytical, the autobiographical essays each tell of a sustained personal encounter with the challenges and mysteries of living with a learning disability. But these autobiographies are not merely personal, concerned solely with their writers' private lives. Rather, they are also in various ways consciously analytical, offering astute critical readings of culture and society. The scholarly essays are written by such noted educators and psychologists as Lisa Delpit, Robert Kegan, and Janet Lerner. For any educator or parent of students with learning disabilities.
