We evaluated 22 learning disabled students with documented learning disabilities on standardized academic achievement tests at the beginning and end of one academic school year. In addition, at the beginning of the school year, neuro psychological measures were also administered and readministered at 1.5 year follow - up to a subset of these children (N = 16). As a group, subjects demonstrated impairment on neuro psychological measures and these measures were stable over the follow - up period. Subjects improved from the beginning of the school year to the end of the school year in the academic area of written language. Specific patterns of neuro psychological ability correlated with academic improvement in specific areas. Our preliminary results suggest that neuro psychological testing may be useful in predicting academic improvement and ultimately in designing educational strategies for learning disabled children.
