title: Education of children with learning problems.
abstract: Approximately 10 per cent of all school-aged children have some type of learning disorder. These students are usually labeled mentally retarded, learning disabled, or emotionally disturbed/behavior disordered. The authors discuss the commonly used definitions of these disorders, the prognosis in school for children with learning disorders, the educational characteristics of these children, specific teaching and training approaches, and the administrative arrangement and physical environment for learning-disordered students.
