This paper presents an intervention framework for the management of communication disorders in learning disabled children. The model is comprised of three major components: communicative intentions, presupposition, and the social organization of discourse. A description of each component is provided along with a review of relevant research. Finally, a set of general instructional guidelines and principles is presented.

This paper presents intervention strategies for managing learning disabled children with oral communication disorders. The strategies are based on a comprehensive organizational framework of pragmatic abilities comprised of three major components: communicative intention, presupposition, and social organization of discourse. Following a brief description of the components, specific intervention goals and instructional activities related to each area will be addressed.

Social Perception Deficits

According to clinical observations and experimental investigations of learning disabled students, these individuals experience more difficulty than their nondisabled peers in accurately recognizing and interpreting social cues. It has been suggested that such social perception deficits may be responsible for many of the problems which learning disabled children experience in their everyday social encounters with peers and teachers. For this reason, many special educators have advocated the development of specific remedial activities to ameliorate these deficits. Prior to any widespread implementation of remedial efforts, the data base upon which the deficits were identified must be carefully evaluated. The purpose of this article is to: (a) review experimental attempts at assessing the social perception skills of learning disabled children, (b) discuss methodological concerns relative to these experiments, and (c) suggest possible directions for future social perception research.

Precise Understanding

On the basis of research in the field of learning disabilities it has been concluded that many learning disabled students can be characterized as strategy-deficient, inactive learners. However, a precise understanding of strategy training procedures is frequently obscured by researchers. The term “strategy training” needs to be defined more clearly so that the approaches are understood more universally. In this article I discuss the rationale for strategy training interventions with learning disabled children, describe three approaches that are currently being studied in the field, and discuss the issues that arise.

The purpose of this study was to explore the social/emotional development of gifted learning disabled students using a phenomenological approach. A series of interviews was conducted with four gifted learning disabled boys aged nine to twelve, their parents, and their teachers. Using procedures recommended by Colaizzi (1978) and Kruger (1979), themes were extracted from the interviews, and then grouped into categories to provide an overall description of the characteristics of gifted learning disabled children's social/emotional development. After comparing these characteristics to those of gifted children and learning disabled children, implications were drawn for educational programming and future research.

Many practitioners and researchers in the learning disability field work under the basic assumption that the various assessment instruments commonly used with learning disabled populations exhibit the same reliability when used with learning disabled students as when used with a more normative population. The purpose of this study was to test this assumption by examining the reliabilities of several tests of intellectual, academic, and affective assessment when administered to learning disabled students.

Language Competency

In analyzing the linguistic, social, and cognitive attributes of the social interactions of learning disabled children, Bryan and Pflaum have raised some questions about the practice of classifying learning disabled on intelligence and academic factors alone. This study examines the language competency of learning disabled children as it relates to social situations demanding interpersonal communication skills. The importance of studying the content and style of the learning disabled child's communication across social situations is stressed.

Reasoning Abilities

Noelting's (1980a, 1980b) three parallel instruments on proportional reasoning—two presenting problem-solving tasks in the ratio and division interpretations of fractions and one presenting the tasks in the purely symbolic form of numerical fractions—were administered to 6 female and 41 male learning disabled students, grades four through eight. Performances on the instruments were then compared to the performances of 120 non-learning disabled students in grades five through nine of the same school district. The purpose of the study was to determine whether learning disabled students differed in their development of proportional reasoning and whether their disability was in the use of symbols and language and not in their ability to solve proportional problems. Developmental scalograms, PPR>0.93, resulted in support of the hypothesis that the proportional reasoning abilities of the learning disabled student are developmental and thus not unlike those of the non-learning disabled student. A comparison of the three means for the two groups revealed a reversal in performance with the learning disabled students more successful at problem solving and the non-learning disabled students more successful at the purely symbolic form of numerical fractions. Unlike the non-learning disabled students, the learning disabled students' inability to express a strategy did not indicate an inability to solve the problem.

The extent to which the social relationship deficits exhibited by some learning disabled children might be associated with parental behavior is largely undetermined. This study is an attempt to analyze a variety of factors related to maternal behavior and family constellations in a learning disabled population. While the study suffers from a small number of subjects, the results provide preliminary data in a research area largely neglected in learning disabilities.

Junior-high school aged learning disabled and nondisabled students rated their willingness to conform to peer pressure to engage in antisocial and prosocial actions. In addition, students indicated how many friends they had, how supportive they perceived their peers and parents to be, and how often they participated in antisocial actions with friends. The results indicated that while learning disabled and nondisabled children did not differ in their estimates of likely conformity to engaging in prosocial behaviors, the learning disabled subjects rated themselves more likely to engage in antisocial actions with friends. While learning disabled children estimated having somewhat fewer friends than nondisabled students, the groups did not differ in their perceptions of peer and parent supportiveness. Results are discussed in terms of factors which may affect learning disabled adolescents' social behaviors.
