Some Counter Thinking about Learning Disabilities.
Thompson, Alice C.
Journal of Learning Disabilities, v14 n7 p394-96 Aug-Sep 1981
The author argues that many children labeled as learning disabled are merely exhibiting the range of individual differences statistically expected for various school related abilities. She encourages the individualization of instruction in the regular class to allow individual rates of progress and to avoid the learning disability label. (DB)
