This volume sets an agenda for improving the educational and, ultimately, the social and economic futures of people with learning disabilities (LD). With sections devoted to education, labor, justice, and health and human services, this book offers not only a comprehensive overview of research but also a critical appraisal of the status quo in LD practices. The authors create a model for updating services to and opportunities for people who have LD. From improving assessment procedures and clarifying program eligibility criteria to increasing employer incentives and expanding career services, the suggestions in this volume are pointed, realistic, and motivating.
