Assumptions and Strategies for Conducting Research with Learning Disabled Adolescents and Young Adults

This research was published by the KU Center for Research on Learning, formerly known as the University of Kansas Institute for Research in Learning Disabilities.This paper details the assumptions about learning disabled adolescents and young adults as well as assumptions about conducting research with this population held by researchers at the Kansas Institute. Strategies developed to facilitate the development and implementation of programmatic, institutional research are presented. The relationship among the research assumptions, goals and objectives, and strategies is an interactive process with each contributing to the development of and also evolving from the others
