Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the peer popularity of children classified as learning disabled. The method employed was to administer a sociometric technique to 62 third, fourth, and fifth grade classrooms in which there was at least one learning disabled child. An analysis of variance was computed for votes received on scales of social attraction and social rejection by learning disabled and comparison children matched on variables of sex, race, and classroom. The results indicate that learning disabled children, particularly white and female, were significantly less attractive and more rejected than comparison children.Keywords
