Abstract
- This article presents evidence of the importance of multidisciplinary assessment of students with learning disabilities. Multidisciplinary collaboration between different professions provides a more complete picture of each person's unique requirements, thereby facilitating more appropriate teaching. A critical attitude toward diagnosing students with learning disabilities may result in exaggeration of psychosocial problems, thereby running the risk that genuine learning disabilities, neurological problems or other disorders are being overlooked.
