Searching for a WISC-R Profile for Learning Disabled Children

Abstract

Indexes of scatter on the WISC-R were computed for 100 severely learning disabled children. These indexes of subtest variability were significantly greater than value reported by Kaufman (1976) for children in the normal standardization sample. However, the substantial overlap in distributions between LD and normal groups suggests the inadvisability of continuing the search for a characteristic LD profile.
