Abstract
The nature of residual learning deficits in 80 young adults diagnosed as having learning disabilities is described. Adults were evaluated in the Adult Clinic of the Northwestern University Learning Disabilities Center. Problems in oral language, reading, written language, nonverbal abilities, and thinking skills are described. The ways in which the residual deficits were reported to interfere with vocational and social learning are discussed suggesting possible implications for rehabilitation counselors.Keywords
