The reasons that students experience academic failure can be organized into three broad categories (adapted from Adelman, 1970). The first type of learning problem (Type I) occurs when students are in classroom environments which do not accommodate their individual differences or learning styles. For example, limitedEnglish-proficient (LEP) students who need native language or English-as-a-second-language (ESL) instruction, but who are taught solely in English without any adaptation of the curricula, can be expected to experience academic difficulties. Other children have achievement difficulties (Type II), but must be served in the regular classroom because their problems cannot be attributed to handicapping conditions. A Type II student who has not learned to read due to excessive absences, for instance, can overcome these deficits when instruction is individualized, or when remediation programs are provided. Type III children, on the other hand, have major disorders which interfere with the teaching-learning process. Because they are handicapped, these students require special education instruction to prepare them to be successfully mainstreamed into regular classrooms and to assure that they achieve their maximum potential.
