Comorbidity, the simultaneous or successive co-occurrence of two or more disorders in one individual, is common among individuals with learning disabilities (LDs). The topic has garnered much attention in the field of LD, with advances over the past three decades in describing, predicting, and explaining comorbid LDs. However, efforts to design,…

The neurocognitive mechanisms underlying prevalent learning disorders, such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, and their comorbidity, remain unclear and are the subject of ongoing debate. The core-deficit hypothesis has long been the dominant theory explaining these mechanisms across various learning disorders. However, this hypothesis faces criticism for…

Schools conduct comprehensive psychoeducational evaluations to identify students with specific learning disabilities (SLDs) and determine whether they qualify for special education services. This decision-making process is complex and research has documented many factors influencing SLD identification decisions. One such factor may be…

Background: Universities are deeply rooted in a tradition of exclusivity. However, for the past several years, they have been called upon to develop in an inclusive and socially responsible manner that does justice to the plurality of society. This has led to the emergence of diverse practices and projects around the world that are intended to…

Introduction: This paper examines the experiences of people with learning disabilities in the United Kingdom as society transitions towards cashless transactions and services. It is a significant study because it highlights the need to understand their digital financial experiences. Methods: This study employed an inclusive, interpretivist…

The aim of this study was to examine the effects of mandala design training on the sensory, cognitive, and emotional perception skills of 8-10-year-old children with specific learning disorder. The study had a randomized-controlled design and was conducted in an experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group. The sample consisted of 28…

In its exploration of key debates related to curriculum, pedagogy, and policy, "Severe, Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties in School" provokes thinking about how we reach decisions related to vulnerable learners. The book discusses a number of 'dilemma stories' from teachers of learners with Severe, Profound, and Multiple…

This book uses the concept of "learning disability" to explore what it means to be human. It argues that we need to learn "with" rather than "from" or "about" learning disability. This crucial distinction means being open to what learning disability can teach us about what it means to be human. This approach…

In various spaces in society, there has been increased advocacy for greater equity, diversity, and inclusion for individuals from historically and systemically marginalized groups. One step toward supporting these individuals is to consider how they understand and make sense of their self-concepts. As such, we explored the self-concepts of…

The study of Hebrew, a non-European language written in a non-alphabetic (abjadic) script offers valuable insights into the science of reading beyond the well-studied alphabetic scripts. Because reading development in Hebrew is shaped by the uniquely Semitic root-and-pattern morphology and the abjadic (predominantly consonantal) orthography, our…

Given that self-knowledge is recognized as a key component of self-determined behavior, intentionally teaching students with learning disabilities (LD) about their identified disability can create conditions needed for future self-determined behavior. In the following article, action steps are provided that are useful for fostering development of…

This study aimed to compare trait anxiety and test anxiety among Chinese undergraduates with typical development, high-functioning specific learning disabilities (SLD), and typical-functioning SLD, and to examine the mediating role of test anxiety in the relationship between trait anxiety and academic performance across these three groups. The…

Children with specific learning disorder (SLD) have poor academic skills, but they also experience difficulties with their peers, including an inability to recognize interpersonal conflict, infer emotion, and resolve social conflict. In addition, children with SLD are known to have problems with language. The importance of language to social…

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of implementing a differentiated instruction strategy on developing writing skills among students with learning disabilities in Jordan. The research adopted a quasi-experimental approach, designing a training program tailored to the individual needs of the students. The program included 23 training sessions…

Early years education begins with the rejection of the notion that children are deficient adults. But it has culminated in a deep and abiding concern for learning difficulties, particularly in the field of reading. The purpose of this paper is to reconcile the seeming contradiction between the former view, which appears to eschew the concept of…
