Description:
Specific learning disabilities (SLDs) are estimated to affect up to 10% of the population, and they co-occur far more often than would be expected, given their prevalences. We need to understand the complex etiology of SLDs and their co-occurrences in order to underpin the training of teachers, school psychologists, and clinicians, so that they can reliably recognize SLDs and optimize the learning contexts for individual learners.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Butterworth, Brian -- Kovas, Yulia -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2013 Apr 19;340(6130):300-5. doi: 10.1126/science.1231022.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, University College London, Alexandra House, 17 Queen Square, London WC1N 3AR, UK. b.butterworth@ucl.ac.uk〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23599478" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
