Abstract
There are many professionals in multiple disciplines proposing treatment approaches for individuals with learning disabilities. when research has been done to support an approach, the reports and data may be published in journals normally not read by parents, educators, or other professionals. When research data are not available, the information may be in a popular book, the newspapers, lay magazines, or on television. Thus, parents may hear of ideas and suggestions before professionals. It is understandable that parents would seek out improved ways of helping their son or daughter. It is the purpose of this paper to review the significant literature in an effort to assist parents and professionals in assessing controversial approaches to treatment.Keywords
