Abstract
In general, the learning disabled youngster in the middle school experiences the same developmental stresses that his more untroubled peers experience, but many times his reactions to these stresses are more severe and intense. Previous years of defeat in classroom learning have a cumulative effect, and self-concept may have suffered as a result of not being effectively attended to in the school environment. Therefore, adolescents with learning difficulties often need strong adult support if they are to perceive the school setting as a personalized and meaningful place for learning. The resource room is one vehicle that may provide such assistance.Keywords
