Written by an experienced team of practitioners and scholars, this text
attempts to fill the gap in texts that specifically address the needs of
LD students in the socioemotional and mental health domains. By
providing a foundational understanding of some of the salient issues
facing students with learning disabilities, we hope to empower all of
those who are working to ensure their success by providing the
particular challenges that LD students and their families may face, and
strategies and best practices for building creativity, resiliency,
prosocial behavior, and positive mental health. As a practitioner and
family-oriented text, this book seeks to offer a truncated review of
relevant literature followed by suggestions to guide practice.
