Learning disabilities (LD) vary with each student, and teaching strategies for learners with LD must be responsive to individual differences. Written in an easy-to-read format by experts in special education, this step-by-step guide presents a comprehensive look at learning disabilities, such as cognitive or memory deficits, social-emotional problems, and dyslexia, and discusses appropriate academic instruction, behavioral interventions, and classroom accommodations for learners with LD.

Aligned with the reauthorization of IDEA 2004, this resource also covers communicating with parents, the school′s responsibilities in the special education process, and legal issues for educators and parents. General and special education teachers will find numerous reproducible forms, a complete glossary of terms, and information on topics such as:

Promoting positive social interactions
IEP development and educational placement options
Postsecondary education options, vocational assessments, and other transition services
The role of Response to Intervention (RTI)
