Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Provides an account of the social cognitive development of children with learning disabilities and discusses ways in which this might be related to their social adjustment. The book provides an overview of research in this area and, with the use of various models, examines aspects of social functioning. Applications of research to educational and other more general settings are discussed, as are implications for the design of intervention strategies.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 143-160) and indexes.
