A Comparison of Risk and Resilience Indicators among Latino/a Students: Differences between Students Identified as At-Risk, Learning Disabled, Speech Impaired and Not At-Risk.

Robertson, Laurel M.; Harding, Meri S.; Morrison, Gale M.

Education and Treatment of Children, v21 n3 p333-53 Aug 1998

A study examined early indicators of school adjustment and conduct problems, comparing the risk and resiliency characteristics of Latino elementary students who were typical (n=66), at-risk (n=77), had learning disabilities (n=18), and speech impairments (n=8). At-risk students showed lower grades, fewer study and social skills, and more problem behaviors. (Author/CR)
