Abstract
The National Center for Education Statistics estimates that 20–25% of children will have learning disabilities (1998). “Specific learning disability” (SLD) is the most prevalent eligibility category in special education. SLD is a disorder in one or more of the central nervous system processes involved in perceiving, understanding, and/or using concepts through verbal (spoken or written) language or nonverbal means. The term does not include learning problems that are primarily the result of visual, hearing, or motor disabilities, of mental retardation, of emotional disturbance, or of environmental, cultural, or economic disadvantage (Federal guidelines 34 CFR 300.7).
