Abstract
Many descriptions of subjects in research reports about learning disabled persons limit meaningful interpretation of the results because of their vagueness and inconsistency. Researchers are hampered in replicating or extending the research, and practitioners are uncertain about the application of the reported findings. In an effort to establish more universal standards in this area, the Council for Learning Disabilities' (CLD) Research Committee proposes a set of guidelines to be used for subject descriptions in LD research reports.Keywords
