This study compared the social skills performances of LD adolescents on eight general social skills to the performances of two other groups of youths: a group of nonhandicapped adolescents who were members of a high school band (the non-LD group) and a group of court-adjudicated juvenile delinquent adolescents who had been referred for social skills training by their probation officers (the JD group). The results showed that the non-LD youths performed significantly better than the other two groups of youths on seven of the eight skills. The LD youths performed significantly better than the JD youths on only one skill, resisting peer pressure.
