Within the context of a multiple baseline design, the researchers in this investigation used a constant time delay (CTD) procedure to teach two classroom support personnel (i.e., paraprofessional, peer tutor) to use a simultaneous prompting (SP) procedure when teaching a high school student with a moderate intellectual disability to (a) identify…

A modified system of least intrusive prompting was used to teach middle school students with moderate intellectual disability who were emergent readers to comprehend short passages of text. Text passages were summaries of the chapters of age-appropriate novels rewritten for a beginning reading level. Time delay was used to teach the participants…

Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) test-retest data with a six-month interval were obtained for 45 normal l0-year-old children. Verbal IQ estimates were stable, but significant practice effects were obtained on performance and full scale IQ estimates. Discussion focused on test readministration. (Author/RL)

Test accommodations such as extended time are presumed to reduce the impact of a disability, while not affecting test scores of the general population. This study examined the effects of an extended time (time and one-half) accommodation on the mathematics performance of fifth- to seventh-grade students with and without attention deficit…

Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised Verbal, Performance, and Full Scale IQs for matched-pair subjects were compared, evaluating performance in morning and afternoon testing. No significant differences in mean IQ as a function of time of testing were shown. Greater variability occurred for morning performance on the Verbal and Full…
