title: Self-concept and motor performance of children with learning disabilities.
abstract: Students with learning disabilities (11 girls and 16 boys ranging from 11 to 14 years of age) tested with Harter's Self-perception Profile scored relatively high on Global Self-worth but scored significantly lower than the standardization group on the Scholastic Competence and Behavioral Conduct subscales. Boys scored significantly higher than girls on the motor proficiency test and on the Athletic Competence subscale of the Self-perception Profile.
