This was an excellent book to study and keep on hand for reference. William Bender did a fabulous job in making this textbook easy to read, comprehend, and walk away with skill sets in your bag. I am also happy that this book goes over the history of how learning disabilities term was developed and how recognizing and addressing them has evolved over the years. All were done in authentic research that showed favourable results. Again, I feel better equipped with skillsets after studying this book.
