Sarah E. Brandt
The intention of this study is to find a relationship between self-esteem and being labeled with a learning disability. The Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function will rate how children view themselves before and after being evaluated a learning disability. The Brigance Diagnostic Comprehensive Inventory of Basic Skills will be used to assess if the Children are learning disabled. If the child is found to have a learning disability they will receive the proper attention offered by the school. A select few will receive school counseling to determine if speaking with a school psychologist can help improve their self-esteem. This study is not intended to improve performance of children in school, but rather seeks to improve confidence in learning.
