title: Learning disabilities. Etiology, diagnosis, and management.
abstract: The common co-occurrence of psychiatric disorders and academic problems makes it important for child psychiatrists to have a general understanding of learning disabilities. The authors review past and present conceptual models of learning disabilities and set out brief guidelines for comprehensive evaluation and diagnosis of learning problems. In addition, general issues of remediation, educational placement, and future research priorities are discussed.
