“…Many investigations suggest that LD and BD students of all ages encounter social ostracism by nondisabled classmates (e.g., Bruininks, 1978;Bryan, 1974Bryan, , 1976Perlmutter, Crocker, Cordray, 8c Garstecki, 1983;Ray, 1985;Sabornie 8c Kauffman, 1985;Vacc, 1972). Other well-controlled studies (e.g., Coben 8c Zigmond, 1986;Sabornie 8c Kauffman, 1986;Sainato, Zigmond, 8c Strain, 1983), however, indicate that low social status among peers does not appear to be a major problem for some LD students.…”
