Learning Disabilities Summit: Building a Foundation for the Future White Papers
In August 2001, the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP), U.S. Department of Education, showcased research papers on key issues in the identification and classification of students with specific learning disabilities. These materials were compiled into a book edited by Renee Bradley, Louis Danielson, and Daniel P. Hallahan in 2002, Identification of Learning Disabilities: Research to Practice, published by Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, Inc. in Mahwah, New Jersey. Below, you may browse the papers from the Learning Disabilities Summit: Building a Foundation for the Future online or download them in either Word (doc) or Adobe Acrobat (pdf) format.
