“…Furthermore, research shows that many of the students who drop out of school fit into the leaming disabled category (Bender, 1995;Levin, Zigmond, & Birch, 1985;Mel lard & Hazel, 1992;Tanner, Krahn, & Hartnagel, 1995). Those students who have a leaming disability do not readily overcome their leaming disability in adulthood thereby affecting their economic well-being as adults (Bender, 1995;Hallahan & Kauffman, 1982;Hasazi, Johnson, Hasazi, Gordon, & Hull, 1989;McCaul, Donaldson, Coladarci, & Davis, 1992;Mellard & Hazel, 1992;Tanner, Krahn, & Hartnagel, 1995;White, 1995). Therefore, to prevent high school dropout it becomes imperative to examine the nature of leaming disabilities and how leaming disabilities are managed and rectified in the high school setting.…”
