Mercer, Cecil D.; And Others
Learning Disability Quarterly, v13 n2 p141-52 Spr 1990
A survey of 51 state departments of education focused on learning disabilities definitions, identification criteria, and operationalization procedures. Results showed the continued impact of the 1977 federal definition and criteria. Findings are compared with those from a 1985 survey and discussed in terms of trends, prereferral interventions, assessment instruments, and discrepancy models. (Author/JDD)
