    CALENDAR DESCRIPTION
    EDUC 422-4: Learning Disabilities
    A study of conceptual and historic foundations of learning disabilities and an introduction
    to the methodologies of diagnosis and remediation of learning disabilities.
    EDUC 424-4: Learning Disabilities: Laboratory
    Supervised experience in analysis and evaluation of treatment strategies to be used with
    students having learning disabilities.
    Content of Education 422 and Education 424 will be packaged as one program. Thus, during May
    and June Education 422 and Education 424 content will be dealt with on BOTH Tuesday and
    Thursday evenings.
    Meeting times change in July in order to accommodate the on-campus attendance of children who
    register in our summer tutoring program. EDUC 424 students must schedule
    1Qth
    mornings in the
    July/August period.
    Students who register for either Education 422 or Education 424, but not both courses, should see the
    instructor in class at the first class meeting. Special arrangements are available. Hopefully, the
    majority of students will elect the specially designed, combined course option.
    EDUC 422-4 is designed as an introduction to the theoretical foundations of learning disabilities.
    Course content will include definition; symptomatology; integrities for learning; diagnosis;
    remediation; current state of services for the learning disabled child, adolescent and adult.
    Grades will be based on a number of assignments, including investigation of a student-selected
    topic. Details re assignments will be provided at the first class meeting.
    EDUC 424-4 provides a "live" experience in tutoring. Course content will include task analysis
    and instructional programming; assessment and data management; procedures for treating
    perceptual and cognitive problems; behaviour management; and reporting techniques.
    Assignments include actual reports on assessment and tutoring. Details will be provided at the
    first class meeting.
