Are We Preparing Adolescents with Learning Disabilities to Cope with Social Issues?Elaine Fine, EdD is assistant professor, Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders, Montclair State College, New Jersey. She is a trainer in the Learning Strategies Model, an instructional method for adolescents with learning disabilities developed at the Institute for Research in Learning Disabilities at the University of Kansas. Address: Elaine Fine, 699 W, 239 St. No. 135, Riverdale, NJ 10443. The staff of the Journal of Learning Disabilities receives a number of research reports that we and the consulting editors believe would be of interest to some of the readers. Because of space constraints it is not possible to publish all of these manuscripts. Consequently, we ask some authors to provide us with a brief discussion of their study and findings to publish as a "Research Brief." Readers who wish a copy of the entire report should write directly to the author(s).—JLW Poor thinking skills, social skills deficits, and a weak information base may affect adolescents with learning disabilities in their ability to make appropriate decisions regarding social issues and may make them more vulnerable to resulting negative consequences. Research on instruction in social issues will be discussed.
