A group discussion program was offered to 89 parents of children in 10 public school learning disabilities classes, and correlates of attendance were explored. Higher family educational levels and more frequent parent‐initiated telephone contacts with teachers were associated with attendance at the parent groups. The implications of the findings for parent programs are discussed.
