This book, written in Dr. Turner's unique college lecture style, has real world, practical suggestions that can be immediately implemented. His straightforward, “matter of fact” approach effectively conveys important points without “fluff.” As a former teacher, counselor, and academic dean, his perspective on education is well rounded. His formal education includes two master's degrees, a doctorate in psychology and post-doctoral work in autism and behavior modification. “Dr. Turner's book is an excellent first step in the right direction. It is an example of his commitment to doing what is right for students. I found the sections on assessment and the IEP process particularly enlightening. This book would be an informative read for any individual involved in the IEP process..” - William Shupe, M.A., NPS Principal“Dr. Turner has written a comprehensive book that can save many interns, first year school psychologists, and even seasoned veterans valuable time if his strategies are utilized. Many people (professionals too) confuse activity with being successful and effective. However, many school psychologists are so busy running from meeting to meeting and are in “stomping out fires” mode and the day is over before they knew it started. They are very active, but not very effective. Dr. Turner shows us how planned activity and organization are effective. Dr. turner provides us with a common sense model of how to learn good professional habits and make them a part of our professional and daily life.” - Roger McCoy, PPS school psychologist for Riverside County SELPA“This book is very thorough and innovative in the progressive future of school psychology. As a new School Psychologist entering the field, I love the detailed information and direction.” – Alice Bass, School Psychologist InternDr. Turner is a licensed educational psychologist in California, lead school psychologist in a mid-size district, private pilot, Marine combat veteran, and adjunct college professor. He is a mentor to interns, guiding them through their 1200 intern hours required by the state. As a former member of the Board of Directors for the California Association of School Psychologists, he is aware of the many pressures and legal issues facing educational psychology and special education. Dr. Turner also received a research grant to study strengths-based interventions and is a promoter of shifting the perspective from “strengthening weaknesses” to “building on strengths.”

Identification of Learning Disabilities: Research to Practice is the remarkable product of a learning disabilities summit conference convened by the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) in August 2001 and the activities following that summit. Both the conference and this book were seen as important preludes to congressional reauthorization of the historic Individuals With Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) scheduled for 2002 and subsequent decision making surrounding implementation. The OSEP conference brought together people with different perspectives on LD (parents, researchers, practitioners, and policymakers) and resulted in this book, which examines the research on nine key issues concerning the identification of children with learning disabilities. Coverage includes alternative responses to treatment, classification approaches, processing deficit models, and approaches to decision making. Chapter Structure-- Each of the first nine chapters is organized around a lengthy, issue-oriented paper, which presents the most current research on that topic. These primary papers are then followed by four respondent papers that reflect a variety of viewpoints on the topic. Summarizing Chapter -- A small group of researchers (listed in the final chapter) dedicated an enormous amount of time to summarizing the research and developing key consensus statements regarding the identification of children with learning disabilities. Their work is sure to have a tremendous impact on future discussions in this area. Expertise-- The following well-known scholars have helped summarize the vast amount of research presented in this book as well as the consensus statements derived therefrom: Lynne Cook, Don Deshler, Doug Fuchs, Jack M. Fletcher, Frank Gresham, Dan Hallahan, Joseph Jenkins, Kenneth Kavale, Barbara Keogh, Margo Mastopieri, Cecil Mercer, Dan Reschley, Rune Simeonsson, Joe Torgesen, Sharon Vaughn, and Barbara Wise.
