Social competence is the foundation upon which expectations for future interactions with others are built and upon which children develop perceptions of their own behavior (Shah&amp; Morgan, 2010).
In some literary texts, LD refer to problems in any one of seven areas of learning including; listening comprehension, expressive language, basic reading skills (word identification, phonological coding), reading comprehension, written language, mathematics calculation, or mathematics reasoning (Phaf &amp; Kan, 2008).
Reviews of the literature indicate that approximately 75% of children with LD also experience problems with social skills (Kotzer &amp; Margalit, 2007).
As you see, mean scores of the students with learning disabilities, is higher than the autistic students in all social skills variables.
