The Effects of Being Diagnosed with a Learning Disability on Children's Self-Esteem

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

The effect of being diagnosed with a learning disability on elementary school children's self-esteem was examined using a quasi-experimental design. Self-esteem increased significantly above prediagnosis levels following diagnosis of a learning disability while self-esteem levels in a control group of children without learning disabilities remained unchanged. Theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.
