Brandon LeBeau; Susan G. Assouline; Megan Foley-Nicpon; Ann Lupkowski-Shoplik; Katherine Schabilion – Gifted Child Quarterly, 2025
Academic acceleration, which enhances challenges for academically gifted students, can be subject-based or whole-grade. Limited research has explored its application in the twice-exceptional population, where students possess notable cognitive strengths and challenges due to psychological diagnoses. Our clinical study investigates the likelihood…

College students with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are at greater risk than peers for impaired educational functioning; however, little is known regarding their longitudinal academic outcomes. This study examined: (a) differences between ADHD and control participants in academic outcomes (i.e., semester GPA, credits attempted,…

Weis, Robert; Speridakos, Elena C.; Ludwig, Katharine – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2014
Recent research suggests that most 4-year college students diagnosed with specific learning disability (SLD) do not meet objective criteria for the disorder, show normative deficits in academic skills, or have childhood histories of SLD. The purpose of this study was to examine the functioning of students diagnosed with SLD attending community…

Alyse Barker Blanchard – ProQuest LLC, 2014
In Barkley's (1997a, 1997b) model of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), he proposes that working memory deficits resulting from ADHD may cause impairments in reading comprehension. ADHD has been associated with poorer processing speed and working memory as well as academic underachievement in some studies. However, more research is…

Lovett, Benjamin J.; Sparks, Richard L. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2013
Much has been written about gifted students with learning disabilities, but there have been few large-scale empirical investigations, and the concept has proven controversial. The authors reviewed the available empirical literature on these students, focusing on (a) the criteria by which the students were identified and (b) the students'…

Sparks, Richard L.; Lovett, Benjamin J. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2013
This study examined whether a large group of postsecondary students participating in a support program for students classified as having learning disabilities (LD) met criteria for five objective diagnostic models for LD: IQ-achievement discrepancy (1.0 SD, 1.5 SD, and greater than 2.0 SD) models, a "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of…

Prevatt, Frances; Proctor, Briley – Learning Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2003
Two hundred four (204) college students who had difficulties in both foreign language and math (FLD/MD), only math difficulties (MD), or only foreign language difficulties (FLD) were studied. Analysis of prevalence of presenting problems indicated that FLD and FLD/MD are relatively uncommon, compared to MD. Comparisons among the three groups…

Hall, Cathy W.; Webster, Raymond E. – Journal of Postsecondary Education and Disability, 2008
Metacognitive and attitudinal factors in the academic performance of college students with and without disabilities were assessed and compared. GPA, metacognitive knowledge and practice, resiliency, self-efficacy, locus of control, and need for achievement were examined. Similarities as well as notable differences were found between the LD (N=27)…

The Relationship of Non-Verbal Intelligence Measures to Academic Achievement among Deaf Adolescents.
Paal, Nicholaus; And Others – Journal of Rehabilitation of the Deaf, 1988
The study examined the correlations between academic achievement and scores on the Hiskey-Nebraska Test of Learning Aptitude, the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R) Performance Scale, with 35 deaf high school students. Results validated the use of the WAIS-R as a predictor of academic achievement for this population. (DB)

Stewart, Donald W. – Guidance & Counselling, 1994
Many postsecondary students who request academic accommodations for learning disabilities actually show no documentable learning disability but a discrepancy between their intellectual ability and their achievement aspirations (i.e., a "yearning disability") rather than a discrepancy between their ability and achievement (i.e., a…

Leonard, Faith C. – Learning Disabilities Research and Practice, 1991
Data from the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R), grade point average (GPA) after 2 semesters of full-time enrollment, and selected student characteristics were compared for 49 learning-disabled college students. WAIS-R results were not generally predictive of academic success, although Comprehension and Similarities subtests…

Maller, Susan J.; McDermott, Paul A. – School Psychology Review, 1997
Examines WAIS-R profiles of 194 college students diagnosed with learning disabilities (LD) to assess where they yield unique and interpretable profiles. Results show nearly 94% match profiles found in the WASI-R standardization sample. Also, shapes fail to explain a significant proportion of variation in student academic skills. (Author/JDM)

Slemon, Jill C.; Shafrir, Uri – 1997
Predicted and actual scores on subtests of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R) and the Wide Range Achievement Test-Revised (WRAT-R) were obtained from 40 normally achieving postsecondary students (NA) and 92 adult students with learning disabilities (LD). LD students had major deficits in reading-related areas. It was…
