This is primarily due to its accessibility for all types of users and its ability to quickly respond to problems that arise in everyday tasks. Its widespread use is extending into various fields of knowledge, including education. Within this domain, the use of…

Purpose: Children with speech sound disorder (SSD) are at known risk for literacy deficits. The purpose of this study was to review the available literature for intervention approaches that simultaneously target the development of literacy and speech sound production skills in children with SSD. Method: In this review, we examined the available…

Digital technology in primary education can both be distracting and increase attentiveness. Many students with Special Educational Needs (SEN) have difficulties with skills that address attention, and teachers are expected to provide support. Such skills are referred to as Executive Function (EF) in neuroscience, relating to self-regulation,…

The study explored the effects of two combined training (Strength-Proprioceptive versus Cognitive-Balance) programs on postural balance during single-task and dual-task conditions in children with intellectual disability. The postural balance and the second cognitive-task performances were evaluated before and after 8-week of training in two…

Teaching requires attention to individual student needs by providing both adequate challenge and sufficient support to help students successfully gain academic skills (Shurr et al., 2019). The learning stages framework divides typical learning into four distinct stages: acquisition, fluency, maintenance, and generalization (Collins, 2012; Haring…

Deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) students often experience systemic barriers to academic success, especially low expectations of what they know and can do. Longitudinal data analysis is critical to understanding how academic achievement for DHH students progresses over time and where they may need additional support on their academic journey to…

Video Modeling (VM) is one of the most widely used approaches by researchers to improve many skills, such as academic skills in students with Learning Disabilities (LD; Boon et al., 2020). As the incidence rate of individuals with LD in Saudi Arabia increase (Almedlij & Rubinstein-Avila, 2018), the need for evidence-based math interventions…

Background: Phonological awareness is the ability to identify and manipulate the sounds of language. This is a crucial skill for reading and spelling development.

Three middle school children -- 2 girls and 1 boy with DD between 11 and 13 years old participated in the study. In this research, a single-subject with…

This paper presents a replication study investigating the effectiveness of a strategy to assist students with learning difficulties in adding fractions. Drawing on the research conducted by Grünke et al. (2023), this single-case analysis extends the application of the "Look, Ask, Pick" (LAP) mnemonic technique initially introduced by…

With this study, it is aimed to improve the calculation skills of visually impaired children in elementary grades. In this context, it is expected that mathematical calculation skills will gain meaning and target behaviours will be changed with the help of technology for visually impaired children. The study group of the study consists of 78…

Children with intellectual disabilities face obstacles in their numeracy skills development. Stick intelligence is a learning media that is aimed to help these children enhance their numeracy skills. Therefore, this study aims to identify: (1) the numeracy skills of students with intellectual disabilities before using the mathematical intelligence…

A social skills training has previously resulted in positive improvements in social skills among children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This pilot study developed a play-based social skills training protocol for first-grade elementary children with ASD in Taiwan and determined its efficacy. Using a single-group…
