This study was designed to measure performance differences of learning disabled and high-achieving high school students judged crucial to academic learning and to determine teacher performance standards on those same crucial learning skills, Results showed that high achievers performed significantly batter than LD students across the complex, and within every domain, of learning skills assessed. In addition, significantly greater proportions of LD students fall below teacher-derived standards of minimal competence in all skill areas assessed than do high-achieving students.
