Aspiranti, Kathleen B.; Hilton-Prillhart, Angela; Dula, Mark E.; Ebner, Sara – Education and Training in Autism and Developmental Disabilities, 2023
Automaticity, defined as accurate and effortless word recognition, impacts a student's ability to read fluently. Although there is evidence that teaching students to read sight words in isolation can increase automaticity, few studies have examined the effects of interventions designed to teach students to read sight phrases. In this study, a…

Yakubova, Gulnoza; Bouck, Emily C. – Education and Training in Autism and Developmental Disabilities, 2014
Calculators are widely used in mathematics education, yet limited research examines the effects of calculators for students with mild intellectual disability. An alternating treatments design was used to study the effects of calculator types (i.e., scientific and graphing) on the mathematical performance (i.e., computation and word problems) of…
