Beskrivning

Research on learning disabilities has known a tremendous growth the last 25 years. Yet, despite the progress that is made in diverse domains, learning disabilities still stay a serious challenge to teaching and instruction. In this book the authors try to link original research findings on learning disabilities with instructional methods and teaching practices. The first part of the book brings together contributions about the cognitive, metacognitive and socio-emotional correlates of learning disabilities. The second part of this book goes deeper into research on intervention and instruction methods. After reading this book, not all challenges of learning disabilities to teaching and instruction will be tackled. But it surely can offer some contribution in getting away from some of them. The authors hope it gives a lot of inspiration to the diverse audience they had in mind, practitioners as well as researchers of different disciplines.
