The article is extracted from "Learning Disability Quarterly," a magazine specialised in researches on various aspects of learning disabilities. In addition, it has a high level credibility and is also extremely useful for researchers interested in this field, due to its amount of accurate details and pieces of information. Consequently, the intended audience consists in people that are familiar with the subject and that can use this study as a base for further researches.
The purpose of this study was to examine how college students with LD manage to compensate and overtake their deficits. Regarding this, the authors used a very practical method in order to emphasise their result: they compared two distinctive groups formed by students with and without LD, a procedure which is not met in the other sources. The result tested the hypothesis that students with LD compensate their deficits by relying on metacognitive strategies.
In terms of relevance, the document provided complete information about the benefits of assimilating metacognitive abilities and became the base of the present evaluation.

Linda and Nick Elksnin are both special education consultants with numerous publications from which one should remind "Teaching Social-Emotional Skills at School and Home," "Occupational Social Skills," and "Assessment and Instruction of Social Skills," which debate and analyse the social and emotional side effects of this issue. Furthermore, they actively contribute to various editorials that regard this area like "Learning Disabilities: A Contemporary Journal," "Learning Disability Quarterly," "Exceptionality," etc.).
The article is orientated towards a specific cathegory of readers, the ones that are aware of this research theme and are able to interpretate and use the provided data.
Unlike the other sources, which focus on the academic issues young people with LD must face, this document focusses on the social-emotional side of this deficit and gives a new perspective to the LD issue, as it emphasises its emotional side. Moreover, one can say it is the most relevant source for this topic, as family is mostly related to the emotional support that it must offer.
The article does not consist in a specific research and does not enunciate a hypothesis or evaluates a theory so, consequently, it does not draw a specific conclusion. Overall, it hightlights the importance of ensuring that children and adolescents with LD receive the social-emotional skills intervention they require, in order to help them evolve in indepedent young adults.
