The Adult Outcomes of Children with Learning Disabilities.

Bruck, Margaret

Annals of Dyslexia, v37 p252-63 1987

The results of four followup studies of adults with childhood diagnoses of learning disabilities were reviewed. The subjects' literacy skills, academic outcomes, occupational outcomes, and social/emotional adjustments were analyzed. Results showed that learning disabilities were not a lifelong handicapping condition if adequate treatment were provided during childhood. (Author/JDD)
