Rethinking Learning Disability Definitions: Theory To Practise - Part One

Over the next few weeks I'm going to be presenting a more thorough examination of Learning Disabilities as defined by the Learning Disability Association of Canada. In my opinion, we can better understand what constructs would be helpful to evaluate in LD evaluations by examining this definition more thoroughly. The slide series will include:

(1) A breakdown of LDAC's definition
(2) Translation of this to an easy to use DSM style format
(3) An examination of potential tools to explore these domains.
