course recommended.
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 BOTH
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.
EDUC424-4 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.
