Self-Assessment of Learning Disabled and Nondisabled College Students: A Comparative Study

Abstract

Research findings from a self-assessment survey involving 54 college students identified as learning disabled and 54 normally achieving peers were reported. Data were collected to identify students' perceptions of their strengths and needs related to cognitive attributes, achievement, motivation, organizational and decision-making skills, career goals, resources, and interpersonal relationships. Findings indicated that the two groups showed significant differences on 2 of 11 factors. College students with learning disabilities perceived themselves to have greater problems in the areas of: (a) reading and written expression, and (b) visual processing and shortterm memory. Implications of these findings and suggestions for college personnel are presented.
