Experts have yet to reach consensus about what a learning disability is, how to determine if a child has one, and what to do about it. Leading researcher and clinician Deborah Waber offers an alternative to the prevailing view of learning disability as a problem contained within the child. Instead, she shows how learning difficulties are best understood as a function of the developmental interaction between the child and the world. Integrating findings from education, developmental psychology, and cognitive neuroscience, she offers a novel approach with direct practical implications. Detailed real-world case studies illustrate how this approach can promote positive outcomes for children who struggle in school. This book is organized into two parts. Part I, The Developmental Approach to Learning Disabilities, includes: (1) The Dilemma: What Is a Learning Disability?; (2) A Learning Disability Is a Developmental Problem; (3) A Developmental Science Perspective on Learning Disabilities; (4) A Lifespan Perspective on Learning Disabilities; (5) Identifying Learning Disabilities: A Developmental Approach; and (6) Insights from Cognitive Neuroscience: Automatic and Effortful Processing. Part II, Diagnosing the Child-World Interaction, includes: (7) Identical Twins; (8) An Adequate Achiever with Learning Problems; (9) Beyond a "Reading Problem"; (10) Learning-Disabled Children Grown Up; and (11) A Developmental Strategy for Resolving the Dilemma. 1 : 1900-1921. -- 555 p.

"By setting up a limited company you stand to save tens of thousands of pounds in tax and national insurance every year. This is because UK corporation tax rates are much lower than income tax rates. Furthermore, company owners can pay themselves dividends, which are taxed much less heavily than other forms of income. Finally, setting up a company with your spouse allows you to split your income which almost always results in a lower tax bill. This plain English tax guide tells you everything you need to know about the tax benefits of running your business through a company and contains numerous examples and tax-planning tips"--Publisher.

Copyright date 1998. As response to intervention (RTI) is adopted by increasing numbers of schools and districts, knowledge about "what works" continues to grow. This much-needed book analyzes the key components of RTI service delivery and identifies the characteristics of successful implementation. Critically reviewing the available research, leading authorities describe best practices in multi-tier intervention, assessment, and data-based decision making. Clear-cut recommendations are provided for implementing evidence-based interventions to support students' needs in reading, writing, math, and behavior. A state-of-the-art resource for K-12 practitioners and administrators, the book also will fill a unique niche in graduate-level courses.
