Forty-three junior high learning disabilities programs were surveyed to identify students who were specifically disabled in either arithmetic or reading. The results indicated that students with a specific disability in arithmetic were found in larger LD programs. There was no difference between the two groups and WISC Verbal scores. However, students specifically disabled in arithmetic were significantly lower on WISC Performance scores.
