Summary:
The manual is intended to provide regular teachers with the
information, methods, and techniques needed to deal more effectively
with a learning disabled child in the regular classroom. The
introduction examines the general syndrome of learning disability
(LD) with emphasis on two identification components: exclusion, in
which all other handicapping conditions must be discounted as causes
of the learning problem; and discrepancy, in which a child must
exhibit discrepancies among abilities. Chapter 1 examines the process
of identification, how LD affects various areas of development, the
importance of early identification, and how teachers can develop
their own diagnostic/assessment procedures. The second chapter
presents several effective approaches to teaching, programing
alternatives, and classroom management. Considered next are the
unique problems presented by the LD adolescent including
characteristics of the LD adolescent, effect of the problem on the
child's overall development, and appropriate teaching strategies. The
final chapter is devoted to an overview of remedial procedures
specific to each of four subject areas--reading, spelling,
handwriting, and mathematics. Appendixes include materials in the
following areas: guidelines for identifying the LD child, informal
evaluation, developing perceptual motor skills, materials for
teaching the adolescent student, tools for teaching reading, a
listing of Grade 3 spelling words rearranged according to phonic
elements and generalizations, tools for teaching handwriting, and
tools for teaching mathematics. Also included are a list of tests, a
list of materials (organized by grade level), and a glossary of terms
in the field of learning disability. (DB)
