Proposed Regulations on Learning Disabilities.

The article explains that the proposed regulations regarding children with specific learning disabilities in the United States, which were published in the Federal Register on November 29, 1976, are focused on diagnostic methods and requirements for establishing whether a particular situation meets the statutory definition. The definition is found in Section 620(b) of Public Law 94-142. It is required that evaluation should be made by a team of professionals. It should also include a medical examination when the child has a medical problem which affects his or her learning ability.
