Interactive Influences of Perceived Social Contexts on the Reading Achievement of Urban Middle Schoolers with Learning Disabilities.
Fleming, Jane E.; Cook, Thomas D.; Stone, C. Addison
Learning Disabilities: Research & Practice, v17 n1 p47-64 Win 2002
A longitudinal study examined effects of social influences on 557 middle school students with learning disabilities and 8,392 typical students. Having a learning disability was associated with consistent, mostly negative, effects on social relations. Student perceptions of friendship groups had small, but significant, effects on their growth in reading achievement. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
