Abstract
While considerable evidence has been reported concerning peer rejection of the learning disabled child, much less study has been carried out of adult attitudes toward LD children. This study was designed to investigate adults' immediate impressions of LD children with whom they were unfamiliar and to analyze the relative contributions of the LD child's verbal and nonverbal behaviors upon such impressions. The results of this study suggest that considerably more attention needs to be given to the role of LD children's nonverbal behaviors in affecting others' impressions of them. The increasing concern in the field regarding the social relationships of LD children is addressed, in part, through investigations such as the one presented in this article.Keywords
