Few published longitudinal studies compare the relationships between peers with and without disabilities as chil dren progrcss in the same elementary school. Vaughn and Hogan (l994) evaluated the social competence (peer accep tance and sdf-conccpt) and reports of friendships of students with learning disabilities from kindergarten through Grades 3 or 5.They L'oncluded that. particularly for boys,examination of social competence at any one point in time does not provide a good indicator of social competence over time. Individual variability in social status and the quality of peer interactions were also found for three girls with learning disabilities who were observed in their elementary school. Clearly、more longitudinal information is needed about the peer relationships of students with disabilitie. particularly describing any changes in these relationships during the upper elementary grades.
