Abstract
A followup study of ten pupils five-six years after their enrollment in a special learning disabilities (LD) program is reported. Information presented on these pupils includes direct measures of oral reading, indices of general school performance (e.g., grade point average and attendance), and interview responses. Data are also presented on the performances of a comparison group of students. The results suggest that substantial academic deficits in the elementary grades do not preclude successful high school experiences for LD pupils.Keywords
