Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The aims of this study were threefold: (1) develop a psychosocial typology of children with LD; (2) assess the external validity of the resulting typology; (3) explore the relations between age and psychosocial functioning. To this end, a sample of 728 children with LD between the ages of 7 and 13 years was constructed.

Comparison And External Validation Of 40 Hz Eeg Activity In Children With Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder And Reading Disability., Fred. Schmidt

In total, 38 right handed male children between the ages of 7 years 10 months …
