Having reading specialists work cooperatively with members of multidisciplinary teams can benefit students, teachers, team members, and parents. In many instances, particular skills of reading specialists can be employed to assess student eligibility for special education and to develop individualized instructional programs. This article illustrates how the inclusion of reading specialists can enhance both diagnosis and instruction and provides guidelines for involving reading specialists.","PeriodicalId":287957,"journal":{"name":"Special services in the schools","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134205922","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Current diagnostic nomenclature describes three types of childhood anxiety disorders: separation anxiety disorder, overanxious disorder, and avoidant anxiety disorder. Also, test anxiety may be manifested in school-aged children, in which concerns about performance contribute to lowered achievement. This article describes the nature of childhood anxiety disorders and test anxiety, and discusses interventions that may be effective in remediation efforts.","PeriodicalId":287957,"journal":{"name":"Special services in the schools","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130920524","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results indicated that teachers of students with learning disabilities and teachers in cross-categorical classes spent significantly greater percentages of time providing indirect services to their students than did teachers of the other types of disabilities. Results also indicated that teachers of students with learning disabilities and teachers in cross-categorical classes have increased their use of indirect service during the last three years more than teachers of students with behavior disorders. Reasons for change in percentage of time in indirect or direct service did not vary among the groups of teachers.
