Neuropsychological Perspectives on Learning Disabilities in the Era of RTI is the first text of its kind to present the latest research on neuroscience as it relates to informing new models developed for the Response to Intervention (RTI) framework for children with learning disabilities. |
| Synopsis: |
An insightful look at the role of neuroscience and neuropsychology as it relates to Response to Intervention (RTI) in learning disability diagnosis, treatment, and policy reform Neuropsychological Perspectives on Learning Disabilities in the Era of RTI is a revolutionary new volume presenting the latest research in question-and-answer format from leading scholars about the contributions of neuroscience and neuropsychology as it relates to Response to Intervention (RTI) in learning disability identification, diagnosis, and recommended interventions. This collective work includes contributions from more than thirty neuroscientists, neuropsychologists, clinical psychologists, and school psychologists with training in brain-behavior relationships, who explore the answers to questions including: How do you reconcile RTI as a means of diagnosis of learning disability with knowledge from the clinical neurosciences??What do you think neuroscience has to offer laws and policies associated with learning disability determination?What do you think neuroscience has to offer the assessment and identification of learning disabilities?What role does neurocognitive science play in designing interventions in the context of RTI?What role does neuropsychology have to play in the diagnosis of learning disability? Featuring contributions from leaders in the field of neuropsychology and school psychology, and with a Foreword from Sally Shaywitz, Neuropsychological Perspectives on Learning Disabilities in the Era of RTI illuminates the contributions of neuro-science and neuropsychology to learning disability identification and current educational reform. |
