Abstract
In a field that has long been dominated by studies of elementary school--aged children, it is gratifying to see that we now have enough information about interventions with learning-disabled adolescents to fill two Topical Reviews. This month's article is the first of two parts on recent innovations and research on educational programs for LD children in middle- and high--schools. Although the authors note that the study of educational programming for LD adolescents is only in its infancy, it is encouraging to see the wealth of empirical information that is now available in this area. The information provided in this and next month's Topical Review provides a solid starting point, indeed, for the development of effective educational programs that meet a broad variety of goals for adolescents with learning disabilities.-J.K.T.Keywords
