TY - JOUR PY - 2002// TI - Behavioral and emotional problems of children with learning disabilities JO - Medicina (Lithuania) A1 - Barkauskiene, Rasa A1 - Bieliauskaite, Rasa SP - 439 EP - 443 VL - 38 IS - 4 N2 - The aim of research is to compare behavior and emotional problems of children with learning disabilities to problems of children without learning disabilities. Parents of 67 children with learning disabilities and of 60 children without learning disabilities were asked to fill in Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL 4/18; Achenbach, 1991). Children with learning disabilities had significantly more internal (somatic complaints, isolation, anxiety/depression) and external problems (aggression and delinquency) as well as attention and social problems. The research showed that children with learning disabilities are at greater risk for psychosocial adjustment difficulties. Limitations of the study are discussed.
