Zusammenfassung: | This study explored the relationship between parents' communication deviances and children's placement in a learning disability class. Participants were the parents of 30 learning‐disabled students and 30 average students attending junior high school. Samples of communication were taken from parents' participation in an experimental task. Using a “blind” sorting procedure, raters were able to identify 87% of the learning‐disabled students' parents by their high communication deviance scores and 77% of the average students' parents by their low communication deviance scores on the experimental communication task (p ≤ .0001). Implications for future research on the etiology and remediation of learning disabilities are discussed. |
