"Learning Disabilities" ed. by Wichian Sittiprapaporn

This book is divided into three main parts; myths and fundamental concept, diagnosis and intervention of learning disabilities, and neurodevelopmental disorders, respectively. Thus it deserves a wide audience; it will be beneficial not only for teachers and parents struggling with attachment or behavior issues, but it will also benefit health care professionals and therapists working directly with learning disabled persons or special needs such as sensory integration dysfunction.
