The Organization of Education for Learning Handicapped Pupils: A Review and Recommendations.
Sussman, Susan
The paper reviews descriptions and studies of classes for children with learning disabilities (LD). Considered are aspects of regular class placement of LD students such as academic achievement and social adjustment, and attitudes of educators such as regular and special class teachers. On the basis of the review, full-time, self-contained classes are not recommended for LD students. Alternatively recommended are a part-time, highly-individualized resource room program for pupils with nonspecified learning disabilities and close collaboration between the regular classroom and the resource room teachers. It is maintained that the combined efforts of the teachers should result in a full-time program with a high degree of individualization for LD pupils. (Author/MC)
