Wong, Bernice Y. L. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1988
The paper discusses the implications for research and education of learning disabled students of three models of learning disabilities. The models focus on either: (1) child-centered process problems (attentional deficits), (2) nonspecific performance problems (metacognitive problems), and (3) the interaction between child-centered variables and…

Cuevas, Gilberto J.; Beech, Martha C. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1983
The article proposes that mathematics instruction with limited English proficient learning disabled students requires special instruction in language comprehension, knowledge of syntax and vocabulary, and understanding of relational terms as they apply to mathematics. A diagnostic prescriptive approach is advocated. (Author/DB)
