This is one of the workbooks by DeFina and Feifer which discuss both language-based and non-language-based disorders from a brain-based education model of learning. They are intended for school psychologists, occupational therapists, speech pathologists, special educators and school administrators. They use cutting-edge research from the neurosciences to understand the various brain mechanisms involved in written disorders and reading disorders in children. The model of learning used ties in efficiently with appropriate educational strategies for each subtype. The goal is to help educators develop a working knowledge the neural processes involved in the highest level of human communication. The authors state, "It is crucial for all educators to have a working knowledge of the neural processes involved in the highest level of human communication; namely written production. Unfortunately, written skills among students have shown little improvement over the past two decades, and with the advent of modern technology, the need for exacting paper and pencil composition has been trivialized by some. Key chapters for the Writing Workbook include: * Shortcomings of intelligence tests * Neural architecture of language * Working memory and written language * Executive functioning and written language * The 90 minute Dysgraphia evaluation * Remediation strategies for Dysgraphia
