A Comparison of Learning Disabled and Nondisabled Students on Five At-Risk Factors

Abstract

Using data obtained from the Phi Delta Kappa study of students at risk (Frymier, 1989), the present study compared learning disabled and nondisabled children in grades 4, 7, and 10 on five at-risk factors: “Personal Pain,” “Family Socioeconomic Status,” “Family Instability,” “Family Tragedy,” and “Academic Risk.” In addition, the two populations were compared with respect to the number of interventions that were provided by schools. Learning disabled children were found to be significantly more at risk than nondisabled children on each of the five risk factors. These results were discussed in terms of both definitions and programmatic issues for children with learning disabilities.
