Norman Brier, PhD
Norman Brier is an associate professor of pediatrics at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, where he directs the Adolescent Division of the Children's Evaluation and Rehabilitation Center. Dr. Brier is project director of the Opportunity Center, a multi-year intervention project designed to reduce recidivism in first-time offenders with learning disabilities. Address: Norman Brier, PhD, Rose F. Kennedy Center-AECOM, 1410 Pelham Parkway South, Bronx, NY 10461.
Data are presented on the prevalence of learning disabilities among populations of delinquents. Current hypotheses proposed to explain the relatively high prevalence rate are examined in the context of the research literature pertaining to the psychosocial characteristics of youngsters with learning disabilities and the research literature pertaining to delinquency. A multifactorial explanation is offered, according to which the probability of a youngster with a learning disability becoming delinquent is seen as a consequence of the interaction between specific elements of learning disabilities and specific psychosocial correlates of delinquency.
