Journals


Journals are generally print materials with up-to-date scholarly information on a subject. They may contain articles on research, current issues, opinion, etc. There are also electronic subscription versions. The two major journals on Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder are available by accessing the electronic version using the DISCUS database. I have provided you with instructions on how to access each.


"Learning Disabilities Quarterly." Council for Learning Disabilities. Retrieve through Discus/Expanded Academic.

LD Quarterly provides the professional and academic community with up-to-date information on current issues, research, conferences, and special topical issues. The print version of this professional journal is available through DISCUS's database and Infotrac's Expanded Academic. The print issues are distributed quarterly by the Council for Learning Disabilities.

"Learning Disability Quarterly seeks high-quality manuscripts reporting original learning disability research."
