Trade Review
"In summary, this is an excellent book that meets a real need in the field as it seeks to meld two opposing viewpoints to further the field of learning disabilities. Rather than continue the endless debate, it recommends taking the best of both techniques. It is an excellent resource for practitioners, particularly neuropsychologists and school psychologists."
