"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
The approximately 600 entries are written for understanding and clarity, never hiding behind unnecessary jargon while remaining professional in tone. Learning-disorder descriptions, contributing issues, and management have a vocabulary derived from education, psychology, anatomy, physiology, medicine, and sociology, if not more. Therefore, Basal ganglia and Basal readerare adjacent, as are Multiple disabilities and Multiple intelligences and Semantic network and Semantics. Following the A-Z entries are six highly useful appendixes--among them lists of national organizations, assistive-technology resources, and hotlines--and a bibliography of books of interest to people with learning disabilities, with suggestions for children, college-age individuals, adults, and parents. These reading lists are short but pertinent. A brief glossary, a bibliography of professional resources, and an index complete the work.
This revised edition is recommended for academic and large public libraries. Even the many libraries owning the first edition should consider its purchase. Linda Loos Scarth
