Summary
This chapter provides the practicing clinician with an overview of the primary issues related to literacy and literacy impairments. It discusses the conceptualizations of literacy as a social practice and as a personal skill. The chapter defines literacy and literacy impairment and reviews how these definitions are dependent on contrasting views of how humans learn, and how these views influence aspects of research and service delivery in reading. It also discusses a clinically relevant resolution to some of the controversies by exploiting the advantages of clinical intervention and using these advantages to advance meaningfulness and functionality in the process of acquiring and using literacy. The chapter explores the two major theoretical perspectives of human learning: behaviorism and cognitivism. Based upon the two conceptions of human learning, the language arts literature has focused on literacy from two distinct perspectives. The first, a skills-based model and the second perspective, a meaning-based model.
