When compared to their non-learning-disabled peers, children with LD have been found to have lower social status. Teachers' perceptions of these students as less socially competent and less desirable to have in class may influence how they are viewed by their peers. In addition, children with LD may have negative academic self-perception that may influence their social status. Children with LD also struggle with conversational skills and have found to be less likely to interact with other students and their teachers.
