Abstract
This is the second in a two-part series focusing on the major purposes and concerns related to diagnostic practices.

In the second article, the author (a) highlights research relevant to LD diagnostic practices, (b) offers a case study of current diagnostic practices related to learning-problem referrals, and (c) contrasts three ethical perspectives used in judging the appropriateness of such activity.Keywords
