The revised edition of this volume describes numerous effective methods for promoting learning. In addition to the most important forms of learning disorders, interventions for enhancing specific learning achievements and cross-disciplinary techniques are presented. Many children and adolescents face significant learning difficulties and show substantial deficits even in basic reading, writing, and arithmetic skills. Early and effective assistance is crucial to narrowing the gap between actual performance and expectations. The revised and expanded new edition of this volume outlines many effective ways to support learning. Leading experts present interventions with empirically well-documented effectiveness in a manner that can be easily implemented in (support) teaching, training, and therapy. The first part addresses the main forms of learning disorders. The second part contains information on interventions to promote specific learning achievements. The third part presents cross-disciplinary techniques that have proven useful in addressing learning difficulties. The contributions follow a uniform structure and clearly and understandably demonstrate how to plan and implement a specific intervention. Additionally, there are guidelines for the organizational implementation of support as well as information on its effectiveness. This book is an indispensable source of information for all professionals working with underperforming children or adolescents.
