Teachers' Ratings of the Social Competence and School Adjustment of Students with LD in Elementary and Junior High School.
Tur-Kaspa, Hana; Bryan, Tanis
Journal of Learning Disabilities, v28 n1 p44-52 Jan 1995
Thirteen teachers rated elementary students (n=30) with learning disabilities and low achievement as having significantly lower social competence and school adjustment than their achieving peers, but teacher ratings of junior high students did not discriminate among groups. Results support use of teacher ratings for initial screening of elementary students at high risk for social-behavioral problems. (Author/JDD)
