Interventions for Students with Learning Difficulties

Reviews / Votes

"This book performs a real service for the field. Synthesis is desperately needed in any field where the diagnosticity of any one study is low--which is certainly the case in the learning disabilities field. I am very glad that Swanson and his colleagues have taken the initiative of embarking on this ambitious project. Finally, we will have a benchmark for the evaluation of treatment outcomes." --Keith E. Stanovich, Professor of Human Development and Applied Psychology, University of Toronto

"This book will help shape the future not only of the LD field, but also of general education. What works for students with LD often works for other struggling students as well. The meta-analytic review and analysis that Swanson and his colleagues have undertaken will have a profound effect on research and practice. Perhaps most important, the book may allow us to lay aside arguments about which instructional model is the single best one, and to focus instead on integrating the range of instructional components supported by the research. This is a 'must-read' for current and future researchers, including graduate students in LD, as well as LD practitioners, educational policy makers, and teacher educators." --Karen R. Harris, EdD, Distinguished Scholar-Teacher and Professor, Department of Special Education, University of Maryland
