A history of Learning Difficulties Australia: part three – the Journal

Josephine C. Jenkinson

Abstract
Part three in this series continues the story of the Australian Journal of Remedial Education, which had by the early 1970s become one of the most important – and certainly the most publicly visible – activity of AREA. It concludes in the early 1980s, soon after publication of the 50th issue. During this time the journal expanded its print run to 2000, and distribution was extended to every Australian state and more than 20 overseas countries. It attracted a wide range of articles from within Australia and overseas, becoming more focused on the reading process, but still including a great variety of approaches to the remediation of learning difficulties.
