Learning Disabilities in New Zealand: Where Kiwis and Kids with LD Can't Fly.
Chapman, James W.
Journal of Learning Disabilities, v25 n6 p362-71 Jun-Jul 1992
This article discusses reasons for rejection of the learning disability category in New Zealand and describes the general education and special education systems in New Zealand. It is suggested that the needs of such students may potentially be met by new policies for "high incidence" special needs. Teacher training needs are also addressed. (DB)
