As Professor Emeritus of the City University of New York and a research professor for many years at New York University, Dr. Rosenthal has been principal investigator in a wide range of research projects related to learning disabilities. Among his many important achievements in the field are his pioneering activities in establishing the first federally-funded learning disability support services program in a public university and, subsequently, in a private university. He has written articles, taught courses, and made presentations—in such areas as self-psychology, career development, giftedness and learning disability, poverty and the at-risk child, learning disability and social adjustment, inclusion and students with learning disabilities—that have had significant impact on professional attitudes, programs, and special and general education teacher training and practice. Dr. Rosenthal also maintains a private practice as a psychologist.
