The Disabled Learner: Early detection and intervention (Modern approaches to the diagnosis and instruction of multi-handicapped children, vol. 8), edited by P. Satz, and J. Ross. The Netherlands: The Rotterdam University Press, 1973, 297 pp., $18.65

In The Disabled Learner editors Satz and Ross present a potpourri of articles previously delivered at a conference held to acquaint physicians, educators and psychologists with new basic information in the field of learning disorders and to review new methods of intervention. The book falls far short of this goal.

The biology is naive, the language development section is uninformed, or at least systematically ignores a broad literature in this discipline, and the chapters that deal with specific learning disability and developmental dyslexia are unrewarding.
