Abstract
The perceptions of 80 learning disabled(LD) adolescents and their parents were compared in regard to the extent of their learning disablities, current levels of performance in academic and social areas, occupational status, social relationships, and problem academic cognitive, and social aspects of learning disablities persisted into adolescence with parents expressing much more concern about this negative impact. While the LD adolescents saw their skills as generally similar to those of other, parent ratings were significantly. According to the parents, their children were not likely to gradute from lower estimation of their children's social and problem solving skills. Reasons for these difference of opinion are discussed, and implications for improved parent-child communication, parent training, and family counseling are identified.
