Learning Disabilities in children with dysfunctional parenting (substance abuse) Ages birth to 12. What Journals could I use?Are boys affected more...

I am not so sure that we see learning disabilities more in
boys or girls, but since I am a special education teacher I can speak to my classrooms. 
I usually have far more students than female students.  I do not know why but it has
been that way for years.

One of the things that people used
to believe was that learning disabilities were only found among drug users children and
the poor.  While there are many children affected by the mother's use of drugs, research
is showing that environment, exposure to pesticides and other contaminants in the
environment, prenatal care, the use of drugs or alcohol, all play a role in the
development of disabilities.

However, there are many
children whose parents are middle class and have not done drugs and have received
excellent prenatal care who have children with disabilities.  I am one of them.  My
daughter did not learn to read until she was 13.  She still has trouble with reading. 
She is dyslexic but she is also a insurance executive.

The
journals that I read range from the ones listed by the other editor and the Social Work
Journal.
