This committee is a mechanism required for every child who by reason of a disability or intellectual deviation is to be placed in one or another type of educational program of a given school district and to develop each child's individual educational plan.

Written by one of the pioneers in special education, this collection of thirteen separate essays approaches significant problems in the field from philosophical, administrative, and semiautobiographical points of view, provoking discussion of some seemingly irreconcilable issues and providing some hard-hitting solutions.

The authors have provided an extensive amount of data dealing with an educational program for hyperactive and brain-injured children. The goal of the authors is the better understanding of exceptional children and the development of a method of teaching and a system of education adequate to meet the needs of these children.

Teachers and parents who are responsible for the needs of learning disabled adolescents will find this book designed specifically for their use.The first four chapters introduce and discuss the theoretical background of both adolescence and learning disabilities. They are followed by five detailed chapters, each a case history of one learning disabled young man, that provide us with as full and unique a picture of the youths as is possible.The final chapters explore teaching the learning disabled adolescent in the secondary school. The authors have devised a core educational regimen which will prepare children for life and will insure the integrity of the youth's individual personality.Practical procedures-a teaching method-establish learning and test the performance of secondary school students in particular.
