  • Title: A Spanish perspective on LD.
    Author: González JE, Valle IH.
    Journal: J Learn Disabil; 1999; 32(3):267-75. PubMed ID: 15508246.
    Abstract:
    This article offers an overview of special education in Spain, specifically in the area of learning disabilities (LD). The term LD in Spain implies a different conception of the definition that enjoys considerable international agreement and consensus. We give a historical perspective of Spanish legislation and place the proposed definition of LD in the context of recent school reform in Spain. The support services model and the assessment practices and instructional approaches in the LD field are described. Finally, some educational implications of the new school reform regarding teacher training programs to assist special educational needs are presented.
