Meeting the needs of the Learning Disabled has become one of the most researched and documented areas in special education. Individualized programs which incorporate components to promote motivation, skill building, skill generalization and strategy use, and social competence have been called for in the literature (Deshler, Schumaker, Lenz, & Ellis, 1984), however, there have been remarkably few evaluations of such programs (Horn, O'Donnell, & Vitulano, 1983). / This study evaluated a multidimensional intervention program using the objectives-oriented method. The Kaufman Test of Educational Achievement and three nonstandardized measures were used to evaluate the four program objectives. Analysis of the individuals' gains indicated that objective achievement was idiosyncratic. Group gain analysis indicated significant gains only in English class marks, F(7,1) = 7.40, p =.3. The results are discussed and implications for future research are outlined.
