Abstract
Pairs of learning disabled and nondisabled junior high students were observed in their regular classrooms using a continuous recording system. A number of social behaviors and socially related characteristics were observed in the target students and in the teachers and peers with whom they interacted. Results show that LD adolescents do not appear to be social isolates in the classroom. They speak as often to peers and to as many different peers as the non-LD students. The differences between the two groups appear to lie in the areas of attending to the teacher when the teacher is making statements to the class and socially related appearance factors (e.g., grooming, physical attractiveness, etc.).Keywords
