Concepts in learning disabilities

About this book

With respect to children with learning disabilities, I believe that all learning is conditioning, and this in turn conditions my total approach to the clinical psychology and clinical education of the large and varied group of children with perceptual processing deficits. A high degree of individualization in the educational approach is required, including a personal investment of much time in order to understand the dynamics of a given child. Understanding the nature and needs of a child, can place that child on a road which ends in positive adult adjustment. Each chapter was originally an independent article or address, so, while a common point of view exists throughout, there is a maturation of that point of view, and a blending of ideas in terms of the current professional thought of the time.--Preface.
