Gresham, Frank M.; And Others
Journal of Learning Disabilities, v29 n6 p570-81 Nov 1996
Elementary students (n=152) with either learning disabilities (LD), low achievement (LA), or mild mental retardation (MMR) were contrasted on 41 measures of school-related factors. LD students scored higher on cognitive ability whereas the LA group showed higher academic achievement. No differences were found on measures of social skills, problem behaviors, or academic engaged time. (Author/DB)
