RESILIENT ADOLESCENTS WITH LEARNING DISABILITIES: MARKER VARIABLES RELATED TO POSITIVE OUTCOMES

DUGLE, VIVIAN R.

Abstract Details

2007, EdD, University of Cincinnati, Education : Special Education.
The purpose of this study is to gain insights as to why some students with learning disabilities have positive life outcomes despite the risk factors associated with identification as having a learning disability. This study, based on archival research of extensive case files of 22 participants, describes adolescents with learning disabilities having positive outcomes despite risk factors. These 22 case files of adolescents with learning disabilities have been examined and the term “marker variable” is used to note the significant events in these students’ lives which illustrate their resilient life outcomes. Based on a review of the literature and the themes that emerged from a comparison of this data, an analysis of the marker variables among these participants has been conducted. In addition, a closer look is taken at six representative cases in order to create a picture of these successful students. A discussion into implications for effective teaching practice and future research is addressed.
