Denver, CO, U.S.A.: Love Publishing Company, 1984. Hard Cover. Near Fine. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. The purposes of this book are two-fold. The first is to provide a basis for classifying children who can legitmately be included under the rubric of learning disabilities. The second is to help teachers diagnose and remediate those children who have major disabilities in the learning process.

We trust that this emphasis will tend to increase the importance of the clinical judgement of teachers and… Read More
