Abstract

The purpose of this study was to
investigate the demographical predictors of learning
disorders for elementary students in Golestan State.
In a retrospective cross-sectional study, numbers of
702 elementary students from two grade two to five
grade of golestan province were selected by
multistage clustering sampling method and
completed Demographical information questionnaire,
The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-
Revised (WISC-R), The Myklebust Rating Scale to
assess overall learning disabilities along with clinical
interview. Data analyzed by Chi-square and enter
binary Logistic Regression with PASW software.
Results showed that socio-economic Status and
residiency location significantly able to differentiate
students with learning disorders from those without
learning disorders. The total regression model
showed that 96.9% of this sample was classified
correctly. lower socio-economic status and residiency
in rural areas have contribution in incidence of total
learning disorders and predicted the greater variation
in probability of having the learning disorders. These
results have applied implications for intervention
programming and remedial training for learning
disorders.
