Psychological and family problems associated with learning disabilities: assessment and intervention.
Learning disabilities not only interfere with academic tasks; they interfere also with all stages of psychosocial development as well as with peer and family interactions. It is not uncommon, therefore, for children and adolescents with learning disabilities to have psychological, peer, and family problems. These secondary difficulties must be recognized, correctly diagnosed, and treated.
