A Decade of Research on Learning Disabilities

A Report Card on the State of the Literature

Joan E. Durrant

Joan E. Durrant, PhD, is a child clinical psychologist and an assistant professor in the Department of Family Studies at the University of Manitoba. Her research focuses on social cognition of children with learning/behavior disorders and their parents. Address: Joan E. Durrant, Department of Family Studies, Faculty of Human Ecology, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, MB, Canada R3T 2N2.

A review of 208 studies of children with learning disabilities (LD) published in 10 major journals between 1988 and 1990 was conducted to determine the extent to which recommendations made in 1980 and 1984 regarding reporting and design of LD research have been followed. A number of problems continue to threaten the interpretability and utility of results, including imprecise subject descriptions, heterogeneous samples, and methodological weaknesses. Implications for the field are discussed and recommendations for improvement are provided.
