The emphasis on educational and behavioral management of children with learning disabilities is evidenced in the type and volume of current research in the field. It is of great concern to future progress for these children that their neurological, biochemical, and nutritional status not be overlooked. There is also an urgent need for universally accepted diagnostic tools to enable the very earliest recognition of children with minimal neurological deficits. The medical profession has a fundamental, but presently abdicated, role to play in producing concrete research results for these children.
