- Title
Behavioral Aspects of Learning Disabilities and Hyperactivity.
- Authors
Lahey, Benjamin B.; Delamater, Alan; Kupfer, David L.; Hobbs, Steven A.
- Abstract
The article discusses the problems of children with learning disabilities and hyperactivity, and explore the neuropsychological, perceptual and perceptual-motor and psycholinguistic theories of hyperactivity, each of which has its own procedures. The authors explain that the term learning disabilities, which was created in the 1960s in the United States to fund federal educational programs for them, refers to children who don't fit in a normal classroom because of academic deficiencies unrelated to physical problems. The article concludes that practitioners must follow treatment procedures that may offer children with hyperactivity and learning disabilities the best opportunities and that the use of stimulants seems to be as effective as behavioral methods.
