To develop programs to assist students in achieving higher scores, one must first\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edetermine the impact of comorbid mental health diagnosis and specific learning disorder on\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eacademic achievement. A quantitative causal-comparative study was used to determine if there is\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ean impact of mental health diagnoses in combination with specific learning disorders for students\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewith an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) or 504 plans on standardized test scores. The study\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eparticipants were drawn from a convenience sample of 3rd, 8th, and 10th-grade students located\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ein a rural area of northeast Florida during the 2018-2019 school year diagnosed with a specific\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003elearning disorder. Academic achievement was measured by student score on the Florida Standard\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAssessment (FSA). The sample size was 195 to 198 students from each grade level, divided into\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003etwo groups depending on the presence or absence of a comorbid mental health diagnosis. The\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edata was analyzed using three independent sample t tests. The results of the study indicated no\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esignificant difference between the two subgroups on academic achievement as measured by the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFSA scores. The findings of this study showed a need for future studies to include replication of\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe study in additional populations and areas using a different scale of measurement and to\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ecompare students with a mental health disorder to mainstream students with no mental health\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edisorder or specific learning disorder.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Indie Publisher","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45165238845591,"sku":"9798869003621","price":1984.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798869003621.webp?v=1767667485","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/understanding-mental-health-diagnoses-and-learning-disorders-9798869003621","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
