This collective work includes contributions from more than thirty neuroscientists, neuropsychologists, clinical psychologists, and school psychologists with training in brain-behavior relationships, who explore the answers to questions including:
- How do you reconcile RTI as a means of diagnosis of learning disability with knowledge from the clinical neurosciences??
- What do you think neuroscience has to offer laws and policies associated with learning disability determination?
- What do you think neuroscience has to offer the assessment and identification of learning disabilities?
- What role does neurocognitive science play in designing interventions in the context of RTI?
- What role does neuropsychology have to play in the diagnosis of learning disability?
