The Status of Learning Disabilities in the States: Consensus or Controversy?
McNutt, Gaye
Journal of Learning Disabilities, v19 n1 p12-16 Jan 1986
To determine the degree of controversy or consensus regarding definitions at the state level, questionnaires focusing on six learning disability topics were sent to each state education agency (SEA) and the District of Columbia. In general, more consensus than controversy exists when broad areas are considered. Changes in some SEA definitions and/or criteria are probable. (Author/CL)
