Prediction of Adaptive Behavior of Learning Disabled Students in Self-Contained and Resource Classes.

Bender, William N.; Golden, Lorri B.

Learning Disabilities Research, v5 n1 p45-50 Win 1989

Two elementary teachers rated 91 learning-disabled students (56 mainstreamed and 35 in self-contained classes) using the Weller-Strawser Scales of Adaptive Behavior. Results indicated that personality variables and problem behavior were related to teachers' perceptions of the ability of learning-disabled students to adapt to the classroom. (Author/JDD)
