Adolescents with Learning Disabilities
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page essay on the plight of adolescents with Learning Disabilities. Workers in the field of learning disability have debated for 30 years about how to define just what it is that they do. While the debate goes on, though, the workers continually seek ways to help those students affected. Historically, the focus of learning disabilities work has been with students of elementary age. With the enactment of the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990, adults have received increasing attention, leaving adolescents, as ever, literally caught in the middle grounds. The focus is changing, though, as educators increasingly realize that they have a short time remaining with these students in which to make a lasting difference in their lives.

Einstein / Learning Disabled Or Schizophrenic ?

This 7 page paper analyzes Einstein's youthful development in terms of Piaget's theories of developmental stages, Lenzenweger's theories of schizophrenia, and modern theories on learning disabilities. The paper concludes that psychologists may have some justification for believing Einstein to have had schizophrenic tendencies, and that it is these, not a learning disability, that caused his famous problems in school.
