The reauthorization of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004 presented regulations for identifying students with Specific Learning Disability (SLD), one of the thirteen eligibility categories for special education. Although these federal regulations prohibited the sole use of the aptitude-achievement discrepancy model across States, they allowed practitioners to use Response-to-Intervention models and research-based, alternative third-methods for identifying specific learning disabilities. There has been controversy and debate surrounding which methods are the most appropriate and accurate in part due to the ambiguity regarding alternative third-methods. One alternative method current in the research is the pattern of processing strengths and weaknesses (PSW) model for identifying specific learning disabilities. However, there has been limited research conducted regarding which of these PSW models is the most psychometrically sound and valid. The purpose of this current study was to determine and compare the accuracy of two PSW models by using clinical case data for individuals diagnosed with and without specific learning disabilities. Clinical data from an extant dataset of comprehensive evaluations for children and adolescents ages 8 to 17 were used in Flanagan and colleagues’ Dual-Discrepancy/Consistency Model for SLD identification (i.e., DD/C; Flanagan, Alfonso, & Ortiz, 2013a) and Hale and colleagues’ Concordance-Discordance Model of SLD (i.e., C-DM; Hale & Fiorello, 2004; Hale, Wycoff, & Fiorello, 2011). The resulting identification labels for each relevant case from both PSW models were statistically compared using cross-tabulation analysis, chi-square test for independence, and logistic regression. Results indicated that both PSW models were more accurate at identifying cases without a SLD profile, and the DD/C model operationalized by the Cross-Battery Assessment Software System had greater discriminate accuracy for predicting clinical cases with a SLD. The findings from this current study were meaningful for the fields of school psychology and special education in terms of the value and utility of PSW models.

Bringing together over 25 years of research into the social aspects of learning disabilities (LD), this book presents a range of topics that reflect on the richness of research interests in the discipline. In honor of Tanis Bryan, the pioneer in research on social competence of children with LD, the researchers that follow her lead systematically examine critical issues in the social relationships of these children. The book begins by placing the work of Bryan and her research associates' in context, in terms of the prevailing theoretical frameworks and social political influences that led to the enormous impact of the work. The chapters that follow discuss: *social cognition in children and adolescents with LD; *self-understanding and self-esteem in children and adults with LD; *the lonely plight, peer influence, and friendship patterns of children with LD; *parental understanding and how this understanding shapes their scaffolding of learning in their children with language disabilities; *a new intervention approach toward enhancing self-concept and reading comprehension in LD students through bibliotherapy; *important and timely information on interventions for enhancing peer relations and preventing drop-out in adolescents; *models in longitudinal research with implications for research on social dimensions of LD; and *the important role of teachers in enhancing classroom social experiences for students with LD. Summarizing research findings and their implications in the various areas in the field, this book will be an excellent text for a special topics course in graduate programs in learning disabilities, special education, psychology, and social work. In addition, it will be a highly important resource for university/college teachers, researchers, graduate and honors students, and professionals in learning disabilities, social psychology, and social work.

The category of learning disabilities continues to be among the most contentious in special education. Much of the debate and dissent emanates from a lack of understanding about its basic nature. The failure to evolve a comprehensive and unified perspective about the nature of learning disabilities has resulted in the concept being lost. The loss is best illustrated through the failure to answer this seemingly simple question: What is a learning disability? Using historical, empirical, theoretical, conceptual, and philosophical analyses, this volume explores a number of problems and issues facing the field of learning disabilities. The chapters cover historical influences, definitional problems, primary characteristics, assessment practices, theoretical development, major themes, research and measurement models, and long-term outcomes. The goal is to explicate the nature of learning disabilities by analyzing what it was supposed to be, what it has become, and what it might be. A predominant theme running through this text is the necessity for the field of learning disabilities to regain integrity by recapturing its essence.

Although a number of books have appeared on learning disabili ties, we feel that the present book has two distinct features which are not found in most others. It is multidisciplinary and it com bines theory with practice. A group of researchers from the disciplines of Psychology in cluding medical psychology and information processing, Reading, Special Education and Physical Education interacted with each other before and after their presentations in a conference (November 1980, at the University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada), and then wrote their chapters for this book. We hope that their chapters were enriched by the discussions and arguments which happened in formal and informal settings during the authors' stay in Edmonton. Dr. Leong could not attend the conference, but was asked to write the introductory chapter for the book. The contributors to this volume have been involved with basic research as well as with clinical and educational research in learning disabilities. Some of them have a theoretical rather than a practical interest. However, a serious interest in a handicapping condition perhaps compels one to consider its amelioration no matter how 'pure' is the researcher. It is because of such a feeling.that those who do basic research have sug gested procedures for applying their findings. The result is a balanced product, entailing theory and practice.

This book investigates the self-concept of the students with intellectual disabilities who were placed in specialist and mainstream educational settings in South Australia. It gains insights into what students with intellectual disabilities felt about themselves and their achievements across the different dimensions of self-concept. It is divided into two stages of execution. In Stage 1, the Tennessee Self-Concept questionnaire was administered to students with intellectual disabilities. In Stage 2, interviews were conducted with students with intellectual disabilities, their parents and teachers. These data reflected a range of viewpoints from which to examine the research questions. These findings have implications for teachers, special educators, policy makers and a range of professionals in the education and special education sector in enabling greater understanding of the problems experienced by these students and pointing to modifications and improvements in the services for these students.
