- Summary:
-
The author defines learning disabilities (LD); notes controversies and confusion over the meaning of LD and associated terms (such as perceptual handicaps) from P.L. 94-142, the Education For All Handicapped Children Act; and suggests an approach to explain LD to students and parents in clear and nonthreatening language. A filmstrip, "Everybody Has A Song," is recommended as a way to help learning disabled children understand why they are in special classes. The filmstrip and accompanying audiocassette are also intended to help LD children believe they are valuable people with fulfilling futures. (CL)
