Review
"The field of learning disabilities has clearly lacked a cohesive, comprehensive, and integrated analysis of research and educational practices for adults with learning disabilities. This book fills that void. Issues related to etiology, assessment and diagnosis, remediation, service delivery, and adult outcomes are addressed eloquently and in depth. An excellent summary of significant policy and legal points should be of substantial help to both practitioners and adults with learning disabilities. In short, Adults with Learning Disabilities is a significant contribution to the field and an invaluable resource for researchers, clinicians, and teachers." --G. Reid Lyon, Ph.D., National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, National Institutes of Health
"Too many adults with learning disabilities are not empowered to compete in our postsecondary schools or to participate in satisfying careers. Adults with Learning Disabilities cuts through the maze of problems confronting learning disabled adults and offers solutions to reform the system that serves this adult population. This work explores ideas and concepts that adult learning disabled persons as well as professional educators and rehabilitation personnel can use. It is worth while reading for the professional and the student in the learning disabilities field." --Lloyd W. Tindall, Ph.D., Center on Education and Work, School of Education, University of Wisconsin-Madison
