Critical Issues in Learning Disabilities: Foreign Language Learning

Abstract

This is the first of a special feature for Learning Disabilities Research and Practice of interviews with experts on critical issues in learning disabilities. In the following interview, Janet Lerner questions two experts on the issue of learning disabilities and foreign language learning. Leonore Ganschow (LG) of Miami University in Oxford, Ohio and Richard Sparks (RS) of College of Mt. St. Joseph on the Ohio in Cincinnati, Ohio have been collaborators in research on the formidable task that some learning disabled (LD) students encounter in trying to learn a foreign language.
