Abstract
A disproportionately large number of learning disabled students are leaving high school before graduation. While the solutions are not simple, previous research and experience indicates that teachers can play a significant role in preventing dropout among learning disabled students. School-related indicators among learning disabled adolescents and potential interventions are discussed.Keywords
