Differences between Learning Disability Subtypes Classified Using the Revised Woodcock-Johnson Psycho-Educational Battery.

Davis, Jeremy T.; And Others

Journal of Learning Disabilities, v30 n3 p346-52 May-Jun 1997

Sixty students with specific learning disabilities in either reading and spelling (Group R-S) or arithmetic (Group A), as scored by the Woodcock-Johnson Psycho-Educational Battery, were compared. Results (measured by the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Third Edition) showed weaker nonverbal skills and more counseling among Group A students, which supports the connection between nonverbal skills and socioemotional functioning.
