Frequency of Adoption of Children and Adolescents with Learning Disabilities.
Silver, Larry B.
Journal of Learning Disabilities, v22 n5 p325-27 May 1989

The frequency of adoption was found to be 4.5 times higher than the norm, that is, 17.3 percent versus 3.9 percent. Possible reasons are discussed. (Author)
