List of Tables Table 1. A summary of the three content areas suggested by Chermak (2001) and the expected factor structure with the addition of four new subtests (*) to the original four MAPA subtests (Page 6). Table 2: Subjects included in the study: Eleven with LD, one with ADHD. Subjects are shown who were receiving special services in reading, writing, math, or speech/language (Page 21). Table 3: A summary of the number of subjects from each of four schools, and their relative percentage compared to the total sample (Page 23). Table 4: A summary of the number and percentage of subjects as a function of grade and age. Gender is indicated with (*) (Page 23). Table 5: Recorded noise measurements (in dB) for each school and test area compared to ASHA guidelines, 1997 (Page 24). Table 6: Exploratory factor analysis using a maximum likelihood extraction method and a Promax with Kaiser normalization rotation method. Weightings
