From the Preface: "Efforts to meet the needs of all the students with learning and behaviour problems have not been entirely successful. Most of the teachers enjoy in teaching those students who learn quickly and easily. They also share their experience with others too but they face great difficulty in teaching those students who learn with great difficulty and do not pick up promptly. While teaching such students, the teachers sometime get frustrated, depressed and are angry. Such uneasiness can be replaced with joy and satisfaction when learning theory is adopted and managed properly.
