Abstract
This article summarizes the findings from The Iowa Learning Disabilities Evaluation Project, designed to study the nature and characteristics of students with learning disabilities (LD) in the state. A sample of 917 LD students was selected on a stratified random basis from Iowa Area Education Agencies (AEA). Data were collected from a survey completed by AEA personnel for each LD student selected focusing on pupil characteristics as well as information related to assessments, programs, and services. The outcome was a comprehensive description and profile of LD students in the state of Iowa.Keywords
