This study compared two treatments with 94 Chilean children having learning difficulties. The first treatment consisted of multiple training components targeting specific cognitive and behavioral factors; the second treatment provided emotional support and supervision of school tasks. Findings indicated both groups improved on most of the outcome measures and that emotional support and a parents' group were important in treatment. (DB)
