Emotional aspects of learning disabilities
Abrams (1986) stated, “The vast majority of children with learning disabilities have some emotional problem associated with the learning difficulty” (p. 190). Traditionally, however, educators have placed priority on the diagnosis and remediation of learning disabilities (Hiebert, Wong, & Hunter, 1982). Empirical data suggest the critical need to treat emotional aspects of learning disabilities. Here are startling findings:
Learning disabilities have been found to occur in approximately 4.7 % of children and adolescents. (Fristad, Topolosky, Weller, & Weller, 1992). However, Peck (1985) found that 50% of children under age 15 who committed suicide in Los Angeles County over a 3-year period had been diagnosed as learning disabled.
As mainstreaming and inclusion become increasingly pervasive, it is especially important for all teachers to understand the interaction of emotional concerns and learning disabilities and the impact of that interaction on children’s functioning. Indeed, Sabornie (1994) suggested, “Educators’ lack of concern for social- affective problems among pupils is analogous to educational neglect” (p. 268
