Abstract
An unsuccessful search continues for a definition of learning disabilities. The effort is within a unidimensional framework without recognition of the lack of unidimensional characteristics in children. No other definition of any handicapping condition meets the rigid criteria that seems to permeate the illusory search. As with all other handicapping conditions, the working definition varies within and among schools. Explicit recognition and sanctioning of the modus operandi would allow rational planning for funding and programming.
