Sage Journals: Discover world-class research

Abstract

Only recently has attention been directed to the needs of secondary learning disabled students. Consequently, limited information is available concerning the efficacy of different service delivery approaches for LD adolescents. Zigmond describes a model for the comprehensive delivery of services to LD adolescents which is unique in its attempt to serve LD adolescents with severe problems as well as those with mild problems. This Child Service Demonstration Center (funded through Title VI-G from BEH) is beginning its third year of operation and thus the evaluation data presented are preliminary in nature, but encouraging. This model is one of several currently being studied for serving LD adolescents. Future issues of the Quarterly will report on other service models for secondary LD.
