LD as They See It

Perceptions of Adolescents in a Special Residential School

Barry H. Schneider is an assistant professor of psychology at the University of Ottawa, Canada. He received his PhD in psychology from the University of Ottawa. Address: Dr. Schneider, Child Study Centre, School of Psychology, University of Ottawa, 10 McDougall Lane, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada KIN 6N5.

Twenty-six severely learning disabled students aged 10 through 20 enrolled in a special residential school were interviewed regarding their understanding of learning disability, their perceptions of their school experiences and peer relations. Most were found to have very little insight into the nature of LD. They tended to attribute their learning problems to their own lack of effort. Few claimed to have sought or received an explanation of their handicap. Within their current residential setting, the subjects were generally satisfied with their relationships with peers and teachers, as well as with their academic program.
