Zhang, Xiao; Räsänen, Pekka; Koponen, Tuire; Aunola, Kaisa; Lerkkanen, Marja-Kristiina; Nurmi, Jari-Erik – Child Development, 2020
Mathematical difficulties have been distinguished as mathematics learning disability (MLD) and persistent low achievement (LA). Based on 1,880 Finnish children who were followed from kindergarten (age 6) to fourth grade, this study examined the early risk factors for MLD and LA. Distinct groups of MLD (6.0% of the sample) and LA (25.7%) children…

A Longitudinal Study of Mathematical Competencies in Children with Specific Mathematics Difficulties versus Children with Comorbid Mathematics and Reading Difficulties.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Jordan, Nancy C.; Hanich, Laurie B.; Kaplan, David – Child Development, 2003
Examined children's mathematical competencies between ages 7 and 9. Found no differences in developmental rate between children with math difficulties only (MD), math and reading difficulties (MD-RD), reading difficulties only (RD), and normal math/reading achievement (NA). Found that at end of Grade 3, MD group performed better than MD-RD group…

Growing or Just Getting Along? Technical and Adaptive Competence in Coping among Adolescents.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Fournet, Denise L.; Wilson, Kenneth L.; Wallander, Jan L. – Child Development, 1998
Examined technical and adaptive competence in coping among 97 African-American adolescents with learning disabilities. Findings indicated that short-term, reactive, technical competence was a better predictor of feelings of efficacy, and longer-term, developmental adaptive competence was a better predictor of behavioral problems. Gender subsample…
