The Learning Disabled College Student: Some Considerations in Setting Objectives

Abstract

Many references have been made in the literature to the deficits in social-interpersonal skills that often follow the learning disabled into adulthood, yet few college LD programs address these deficits. Adelphi University's program is unique in that it has a dual focus; academic and social growth. Dr. Barbaro's article was included in this, the first of several issues focusing on the learning disabled adult, because it describes a model for direct intensive intervention designed to enhance psychosocial growth within the college environment. Second, because social adequacy is a critical factor for successful functioning, not only in social settings, but also in academic settings and the work world, more attention to deficits in this area should be given.
