The Social Competence of Students with Learning Disabilities over Time: A Within-Individual Examination.

Vaughn, Sharon; Hogan, Anne

Journal of Learning Disabilities, v27 n5 p292-303 May 1994

This longitudinal study followed the social development of 239 students (including 10 students with learning disabilities) from kindergarten through fifth grade. Repeated measurements of peer acceptance, reciprocal friendship, self-concept, and social skills found a substantial amount of instability in social competence components for the students with learning disabilities, especially for males.
