Academic Engagement of Elementary School Children with Learning Disabilities.

Friedman, Douglas L; And Others

Journal of School Psychology, v26 n4 p327-40 Win 1988

Investigated attention-to-task and its relation to instructional context among 24 mainstreamed children with learning disabilities. Observation of students in regular class and resource room revealed significant differences in rate of engagement for classroom setting, type of instruction, and level of peer involvement, indicating that degree of attending is a function of context in which it occurs.
