The present research was undertaken to understand the social profiles of adolescents identified to have learning disability, with emphasis on the role of peers. The definition of learning disability recognized by the Rehabilitation Council of India and accepted for this study was originally recommended by U. S. Government in Public Law 94-142. It states: "Specific Learning Disabilities means a disorder in one or more of the basic psychological processes involved in understanding or in using language, spoken or written, which may manifest itself in an imperfect ability to listen, speak, read, spell or to do mathematical calculations. The term includes such conditions as perceptual handicaps, brain injury, minimal brain dysfunction, dyslexia and developmental aphasia. The term does not include children who have learning problems which are primarily the result of visual, hearing or motor handicaps, or mental retardation, emotional disturbance or environmental, cultural or economic disadvantages". Although the disability manifests largely as deficits in learning processes and affects academic success, there is research evidence to show that it impacts a person's self-worth and social relationships. Research emanating from western contexts has reported difficulties in social adjustment of children and adolescents with learning disability, particularly with reference to peer relations. However, there is dearth of research work in this area in India. This study was exploratory in nature with four.

Although the social competence literature shows that individuals with HFA/AS can acquire social skills, these skills often do not consistently generalize into natural environments. Peer-mediated interventions have proven successful in teaching a number of social behaviors to individuals with ASD and have also shown to promote generalization and maintenance. The purpose of this study was to explore the efficacy of two peer-mediated interventions for three adolescent males with HFA/AS ages 12 and 13 in natural settings and the effects of these interventions on the generalization and maintenance of social skills acquired in a school-based social competence program. Using a single subject multiple treatments design the interventions were introduced and then compared to adjacent conditions. The results indicate that participants with HFA/AS made substantial improvements in social competence as a result of participating in the school based social competence program. There is also evidence that some skills acquired in the program generalized naturally to untrained settings. However, by training peers to deliver social interventions in natural environments, social interaction increased above natural levels found in baseline and above levels found during the social competence program alone. Finally, the results indicate that the peer mediated initiation intervention is more effective at eliciting social interaction with adolescents with HFA/AS than the peer mediated proximity intervention.

In this book, readers will discover a developmental view of social functioning in children at different stages. Chapters are based in transactional theory in that the environment plays a role in the development of social competence skills as well as the biological contributions the child brings to his/her experiences. The familial and school contributions to social understanding are discussed in this volume.
