The aim of this study was to assess the self-concept of children with learning disability in comparison with children without learning disability. Fifty- eight school-age children were assessed, including: 32 Learning Disabled children, distinguished by behavior problems, and 26 No Learning Disabled children. The child self-concept was assessed by Piers Harris Self-Concept Scale and the child behavior was assessed by Rutter´s Child Behavior Scale-A2. Children with learning disability showed significantly more negative self-concept than children without it in both total and partial scale scores. No differences was found between learning disabled children distinguished by the presence of behavior problems.

Palavras-chave : self-concept; learning disabled; behavior problems.
