LEARNING DISABILITIES

Teachers and healthcare professionals in the field of learning disabilities in Canada are faced with the
challenge of integrating ideas from academic disciplines that have their origins in diverse schools of
thought. What consensus is there in the field regarding the characteristics of children with learning
disabilities? What are the neurobiological, social, and cultural origins of learning disabilities? What can
teachers and healthcare professionals do to better understand children with learning disabilities?
Education 422 is a theory based course that reviews the conceptual and research dimensions of
learning disabilities from a North American and international perspective. It forms a framework for
the more practical dimensions of teaching children with learning disabilities presented in Education 424:
