Learning Disabilities (inbunden, eng)

Research suggests that approximately 15% of individuals worldwide have a learning disability. Discover the answers to common questions about this diverse group of conditions. Part of the Q&A Health Guides series, this book offers a broad introduction to learning disabilities, the most common group of disabilities among children.

The book’s 52 questions cover the many forms learning disabilities can take, including difficulties related to writing, reading, math, language, and processing auditory and visual information. The book also explores how learning disabilities are diagnosed and addressed; the impacts they can have on academic and, later, workplace performance; and how those living with learning disabilities can reach their full potential..

Learning Disabilities: Your Questions Answered addresses these and other topics in a way that both celebrates diversity and acknowledges the many challenges that those with learning disabilities face. Augmenting the main text, a collection of 5 case studies illustrate key concepts and issues through relatable stories and insightful recommendations.

The Common Misconceptions section at the beginning of the volume dispels 5 long-standing myths about learning disabilities, directing readers to additional information in the text. The glossary defines terms that may be unfamiliar to readers, while the directory of resources curates a list of the most useful books, websites, and other materials.

Finally, whether they’re looking for more information about this subject or any other health-related topic, readers can turn to the Guide to Health Literacy section for practical tools and strategies for finding, evaluating, and using credible sources of health information both on and off the internet.
