The introduction provides a case study illustrating the complexities of the interface between learning disabilities and psychiatric comorbidity. Educational challenges can exacerbate and muddy the presentation of psychiatric difficulties and lead to diagnostic disagreement and less than optimal treatment efforts. Clinicians may have limited exposure to learning disorders, relevant cognitive functioning, and appropriate assessments. When learning disabilities are accurately recognized and diagnosed, educational supports and interventions can play their roles in improving the long-term emotional outlook for a student and enhance future educational and vocational opportunities. The purpose of this book is to provide information about diagnosing learning disabilities as clearly as possible so that clinicians will gain confidence in advocating for appropriate cognitive and educational evaluations that will enhance the accuracy of their clinical conclusions.
