Learning disabilities teachers exercise a significant influence on the educational development of students with gifted and learning disabilities (SGLD). It is therefore important to understand their attitudes towards professional development in this area to effectively implement training and educational practices to address the needs of SGLD. The authors interviewed 8 learning disabilities teachers in Yanbu city in Saudi Arabia. The interviews were analysed using content analysis. Findings from the study suggest that further professional development in learning disabilities, giftedness and SGLD may assist in improving the educational outcomes of SGLD. The results of this study may assist teachers and educational personnel to seek the optimal methods to identify and assist SGLD.

Education In China

The twentieth century is a century of change. As technologies develop fast and productivity enhances greatly, competition and conflicts between states are constant. Education has become the foundation of the development of technology and is considered as an important issue worldwide. Research on world comparative education rose under such circumstances. Since the 1980s, the situation of world comparative education has changed. The developing countries have made great progress in comparative education research, while there are still some problems to be solved. Comparative education in China has mostly developed within the last couple of decades when China adopted the Open-door Policy. Although much has been achieved, we are still comparatively less competent in theoretic construction. In the new millennium, we shall have to undertake research into the principles of international educational development as well as refer to the experience of foreign countries to promote educational development in China. And we shall focus on the construction of the theory of localization and enhancing international communication and cooperation.

Word prompt programs are computer software programs or program features that are used in addition to basic word processing. These programs provide word lists from which a user selects a desired word and inserts it into a line of text. This software is used to support individuals with severe speech, physical, and learning disabilities. This tutorial describes the features of a variety of word prompt programs and reviews the current literature on the use of these programs by people with oral and written language needs. In addition, a matrix that identifies the features contained in eight sample word prompt programs is provided. The descriptions of features and the matrix are designed to assist speech-language pathologists and teachers in evaluating and selecting word prompt programs to support their clients' oral and written communication.

A speech-language pathology master's program that grew out of a partnership between the University of Zambia and a U.S.-based charitable organization, Connective Link Among Special needs Programs (CLASP) International, has just been completed in Zambia. The review of this program is outlined according to the suggested principles for community-based partnerships, a framework which may help evaluate cultural relevance and sustainability in long-term volunteer efforts (Israel, Schulz, Parker, & Becker, 1998).
