Abstract
Low social status is frequently ascribed to learning disabled children and adolescents. This article reviews published investigations of social status among learning disabled children, adolescents, and adults. Results indicate that, contrary to prevailing assumptions, not all or even most learning disabled persons are held in low esteem by their teachers, parents, and peers. In fact, some learning disabled students are popular. Therefore, as a group, the learning disabled may merely be at greater risk for attaining low social status.Keywords
