    LEARNING DISABILITIES
    C100
    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: Learning Disabilities laboratory (for which Educ 422 is a
    prerequisite or corequisite).
