Self-Concept and Self-Esteem in Adolescents with Learning Disabilities

Abstract

Self-concept and self-esteem are two crucial components of our lives. These components can 2 shape how we develop during childhood and affect who we become as adults. During childhood and adolescence, self-concept and self-esteem begin to develop. As such, it is important for adolescents to develop a positive self-concept and high self-esteem in order to better their chances for a happy and satisfYing adulthood. Of particular interest are students with learning disabilities (LD); these students encounter a more challenging adolescence than many others. Research shows that students with LD commonly have more negative self-concepts than students without LD. The purpose of this literature review is to examine the differences between selfconcept and self-esteem, and their effects during adolescent development. Through this literature review, empirically based intervention strategies to better the self-concept and selfesteem of students with learning disabilities will be examined
