'Swanson, Harris, and Graham have brought together the best researchers and thinkers in the field, who 'deliver the goods' on the full range of historical, conceptual, methodological, psychological, neurological, sociocultural, and instructional issues associated with the complex and elusive construct known as learning disabilities. A masterpiece.' - Edward J. Kame'enui, PhD, Institute for the Development of Educational Achievement, College of Education, University of Oregon, USA

This comprehensive Handbook reviews the major theoretical, methodological, and instructional advances that have occurred in the field of learning disabilities over the last 20 years. With contributions from leading researchers, the volume synthesizes a vast body of knowledge on the nature of learning disabilities, their relationship to basic psychological and brain processes, and how students with these difficulties can best be identified and treated. Findings are reviewed on ways to support student performance in specific skill areas - including language arts, math, science, and social studies - as well as general principles of effective instruction that cut across academic domains.
