Sociocultural Factors and Achievement among Hispanic Children with Exceptionalities.

Rodriquez, Richard F.

Journal of Educational Issues of Language Minority Students, v9 p155-64 Fall 1991

A study of 50 elementary age Mexican-American, learning-disabled children and their parents was undertaken to determine whether sociocultural factors contribute to achievement test scores as they do to intelligence scores. Sociocultural variance reflecting family acculturation level is found to be related to achievement test performance. (24 references) (LB)
