Learning Disability and Ethnic Minority Discrimination.

Drucker, Howard; And Others

Discrimination is discussed as it applies to the exclusion of racial minorities in classes for children with learning disabilities. The authors contend that this type of racial discrimination is prevalent nationwide (as illustrated by results of a national survey), and that the definition of learning disabilities and how it is operationalized has led to the unbalanced situation.
