Neuropsychological Profiles of Children with Learning Disabilities and Children with Documented Brain Damage.

Arffa, Sharon; And Others

Journal of Learning Disabilities, v22 n10 p635-40 Dec 1989

This study sought to identify clusters or subtypes of children with learning disabilities (LD, n=24) and brain damage (BD, n=36) using a neuropsychological battery. Five clusters were determined, but no one cluster was composed exclusively of LD or BD subjects. Significant qualitative and quantitative differences between clusters were found. (Author/PB)
