Adolescents with Learning Disabilities: Are They Allowed to Participate in Activities?
Plata, Maximino; Trusty, Jerry; Glasgow, Danny
Journal of Educational Research, v98 n3 p136 Jan 2005
Fifty-one Anglo American (28 educationally successful, 23 educationally at risk) and 20 African American (10 educationally successful, 10 educationally at risk) high school boys participated in a study to determine their willingness to allow same-sex peers with learning disabilities (LD) participate in a variety of activities. Kruskal-Wallis One-way Analysis of Variance by Ranks (S. Siegel & N. J. Castellan, 1988) results indicated no significant differences among educationally successful groups, educationally at-risk groups, or ethnic groups regarding their willingness to allow peers with LD to participate in activities. However, there were significant differences in the degree to which peers with LD would be unconditionally or reluctantly allowed to participate or denied participation. Discussion addresses the importance of educating and training adolescents with and without LD to enhance interaction and improve relationships among students.Key words: adolescents with learning disabilities, ethnic groups and peer groups, participation in various activities
