Synopsis:
Nearly 2.9 million students in the United States receive special education services for learning disabilities. Furthermore, because the high school dropout rate for students with learning disabilities is much higher than that for the general student population, it is important to understand how students with learning disabilities can be helped. Learning Disabilities Information for Teens, 2nd Edition, describes the signs, causes, and diagnosis of learning disabilities, and discusses the effects of other disabilities and chronic conditions on learning. It also provides coping tips and information on academic issues, assistive technology, and laws that protect the rights of people with learning disabilities. This book is divided into parts and chapters. Parts focus on broad areas of interest; chapters are devoted to single topics within a part.
