Arfé, Barbara; Corato, Francesca; Pizzocaro, Eleonora; Merella, Anne – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2020
Handwriting and spelling problems are often associated in dyslexia.

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Sisterhen, Daniel H.; Gerber, Paul J. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1989
Adolescents with and without learning disabilities (14, 16, and 18 years old) were tested to determine whether they differed in auditory, visual, and/or multisensory social perception abilities. The adolescents with learning disabilities at all age levels were not as adept at understanding nonverbal social information regardless of whether it was…

Do Children with Learning Disabilities Outgrow Deficits in Selective Auditory Attention? Evidence from Dichotic Listening in Adults with Learning Disabilities.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bowen, Sara M.; Hynd, George W. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1988
The study examined the developmental lag hypothesis for learning disabilities by evaluating dichotic listening ability using both free recall and directed attention conditions in 24 learning disabled (LD) adults. Findings indicated LD adults showed similar deficits in lateralized selective auditory linguistic processing as children with LD. (DB)

What Do Students with Learning Disabilities Think When Their General Education Teachers Make Adaptations?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Vaughn, Sharon; And Others – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1993
Perceptions of mainstreamed students with learning disabilities (n=60) regarding adaptations (e.g., altering tests, homework, assignments, instruction) made by general education teachers were compared with perceptions of low achieving (n=59) and average/high achieving (n=60) students. Differences were found in relation to elementary versus…
