Mathematical Problem-Solving Profiles of Students with Mathematics Disabilities with and without Comorbid Reading Disabilities.

Fuchs, Lynn S.; Fuchs, Douglas

Journal of Learning Disabilities, v35 n6 p563-73 Nov-Dec 2002

A study investigated the mathematical problem-solving abilities of 18 fourth-graders with mathematics disabilities (MD) with and without comorbid reading disabilities (RD). Results demonstrated large deficits for both groups. However, the differences between students with and without RD were mediated by the level of problem solving and by performance dimension.
