This research looks for identifying the reasons why some students with curricular modification and learning disabilities get successful on their academicals tasks although they experiment lots of problems for their adaptation at high school. For that reason, this study compares characteristics of students both with and without curricular modification and learning difficulties, through out the application of a structured instrument about academic-cognitive and social-emotional resources over two hundred fifty one students from public, academic and urban high schools. This study shows that students with curricular modification give more importance to family and teacher’s support, and they can show more tolerance to frustration.

Keywords : Learning disabilities; curricular modifications; coping strategies; socio-emotional resources; academic-cognitive resources.
