How can the desires of people with learning disabilities best be supported and what can be learned by examining how countries around the world respond to those hopes and dreams? This book seeks to answer those questions. Written by prominent researchers, it builds upon an examination of the legal rights of people with learning disabilities in the United Stated, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Israel, then moves on to discuss assessment and diagnosis, programs, and support services, the social-emotional impact of learning disabilities, and how adults with learning disabilities fared after college.
