Learning disabilities in the primary classroom - 30

This title is concerned with the problems children have in learning in normal or remedial classrooms, within ordinary primary schools.

It deals with children in the 5 to 11 age range but much is also applicable to children at the lower end of the secondary school.

It looks at a range of difficulties and for each area it classifies and describes the difficulties, considers the numbers of children with the difficulty; and discusses problems of diagnosis and remediation.

It reviews certain psychological theories and research findings and relates them to practice; and it describes the work of professionals such as speech therapists, showing how the classroom teacher can support such professionals; but the major concern of the book is to help practicing teachers and teachers in training to work out intelligently for themselves how to improve their performance in this area.
