CHOLINERGIC THERAPY FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH LEARNING DISABILITIES

摘要

Cholinergic agents are used to improve specific learning deficits and language function in individuals of normal intelligence. Psychosocial deficits including a pragmatics impairment, reading deficits, a problem solving impairment, an information processing impairment, an adaptive function impairment, social skills impairment, attention impairment, a mood impairment and employment skills impairment, can also be treated in this manner. The cholinergic treatments can be combined with more traditional educational, psychological, and behavioral therapies for enhanced therapeutic benefit.
