A Reconceptualization of Learning Disabilities via a Self-Organizing Systems Paradigm.
Zera, David Aloyzy
Journal of Learning Disabilities, v34 n1 p79-94 Jan-Feb 2001
The assessment profiles of 30 school-age children identified with either nonverbal or language-based learning disabilities were examined using a self-organizing systems paradigm. Results suggest that overflow into areas not typically associated with each disability subtype may occur. Concerns regarding ways of determining discrepancy for diagnostic purposes and remedial strategies are noted. (Contains references.) (Author/DB)
