The Relationship Between Social Competence and Achievement in Learning Disabled and Nonhandicapped Children
Abstract
dc:descriptionA significant correlation between academic achievement and peer popularity has long been established in the educational literature. Nonetheless, the role of achievement in mediating social differences between learning disabled children and their nondisabled peers, and differences between high- and low-sociometric status nonhandicapped children, remains unclear. The goal of this research was to clarify the contribution of academic achievement to social behavior and levels of social acceptance in learning disabled and nonhandicapped children.
