This book addresses the need to view specific learning disorders
(SLDs) within a mental health framework, as supported by their
placement alongside autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention
deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in the Diagnostic and
Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5). It
describes how policy and practice point to a different perspective
- specifically that SLDs are often treated as educational rather
than psychological problems - and examines the implications of this
dichotomy. The book reviews empirical research that suggests
children need access to treatment for clinical components of SLDs
that may respond to psychological intervention separately from, and
in addition to, educational interventions. It provides a
theoretical framework for organizing research findings and clinical
perspectives that support understanding the clinical components of
SLDs and addresses the need for a mental health framework within
which to approach theory, treatment, and assessment of SLDs. Key
areas of coverage include: Examining different theoretical
orientations to learning disorders (e.g., cognitive, behavioral,
neuropsychoeducational, psychoanalytic). Adapting evidence-based
therapeutic techniques for use with children and adolescents who
have learning disorders. The need for accurate and well
characterized assessment of SLDs. How incorporating a cognitive
neuroscience perspective into assessment can move LD treatment and
research forward. Learning Disorders Across the Lifespan is an
essential reference for clinicians, therapists, and other
professionals as well as researchers, professors, and graduate
students in school and clinical child psychology, special
education, speech-language therapy, developmental psychology,
pediatrics, social work as well as all interrelated disciplines.
