Abstract	Presented are the results of a second study of North Carolina's Learning Disabilities Program in which 44 teachers were interviewed to obtain information on the factors which contributed to the educational outcome of 46 learning disabled students (6-13 years old). Section I provides a description of the program during the second year of operation and compares it to the program's first year in terms of the program as a whole, the teachers, and the children. Reviewed in sections II and III are the methods and results of the analyses of student characteristics, teachinq methods, and instructional materials. Among the conclusions listed in section IV are that children who were perceived as successful did not differ from those who were perceived as unsuccessful in either chronological aqe, ability level, or academic attainment when they entered the program; that teachers perceived that 26% of the successful outcome group were misclassified, of which the majority would have more appropriately been placed in a reading program; and that teachers viewed their teaching methods as the biggest contributor to success for the successful outcome group. Four questions to be explored in future research are proposed which deal with such areas as the impact of special education services and the relative cost/benefits of alternative delivery systems. Among appended materials are a sample screening questionnaire, a list of the participating programs, an outline of methods and materials used with most successful cases, and the 1974 executive summary.
