Social Status: A Comparison of Mainstreamed Students with Peers of Different Ability Levels.

Larrivee, Barbara; Horne, Marcia D.

Journal of Special Education, v25 n1 p90-101 Spr 1991

This study compared peer acceptance of 100 mainstreamed (mostly learning-disabled) elementary school students with acceptance of classmates of low, average, and high reading ability. Analysis found that mainstreamed and low-ability students were similar in peer acceptance, as were high-and average-ability readers. (Author/PB)
