Reasoning and Self-Advocacy for Postsecondary Students with Learning Disabilities.

Layton, Carol A.; Lock, Robin H.

Learning Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, v12 n2 p49-55 2003

A study involving 94 typical college freshmen, 32 college athletes, and 30 students with learning disabilities (LD) found several students with LD reported possible intrinsic processing weaknesses. Students with LD also self-reported difficulties that would affect their ability to engage in self-advocacy through communication, self-awareness, and goal identification skills.
