Explanations for each disorder are considered in relation to our understanding of typical development. The book focuses on cognitive theories of each disorder but also considers their biological bases and methods of treatment. The text is ideal for undergraduate or graduate students of psychology and other academic and clinical audiences, including educational and clinical psychologists and speech and language therapists.  “This is a must-have book for anyone interested in learning disabilities. Hulme and Snowling are two of the world’s experts in this rapidly developing field and their command of their topic is awe-inspiring. They have produced a beautifully written, amply illustrated, and wonderfully accessible introduction to the emerging science of atypical development.”\u003cbr\u003e –\u003cb\u003eDr Bruce F.
