Publisher's Comments
Pierangleo (graduate special education and literacy, Long Island University) and Giuliani (education, Hofstra University) provide a textbook on teaching children with learning disabilities in math, reading, writing, language, and attention. It covers foundations, the identification of disabilities, teaching, and practical considerations. The authors discuss theories about the causes of disabilities, characteristics, roles and responsibilities of those involved with education, assessment, diagnosis, eligibility and IEP development, transition services, and learning strategies. The last section is a practical year-long guide to teaching. The two appendices cover frequently asked questions about IDEA 2004 (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) and state and district assessments.
