Fisher, Dennis F. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1980
The paper reviews research efforts directed at identifying perceptual and cognitive components in reading and their dysfunction in disabled readers. Disruption in the processing sequence is identified, and a compensatory training technique for the reading disabled is described. (Author)

Hartlage, Lawrence C.; Telzrow, Cathy F. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1983
The paper reviews research, largely inconclusive, on diagnostic-prescriptive teaching and proposes a model for use with learning disabled students using neuropsychological test data to infer relevant learner aptitudes. Studies are cited to support the validity of strength-matched teaching and the use of compensatory teaching with severe learning…

Graham, Steve – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1985
A model of the teaching-learning process to promote learning disabled students' mastery of basic academic skills is presented. The model considered psychological and social conditions of learning and reflects classroom environmental complexity. The central tenet of the model is that learning is a direct result of students' activities and pursuits.…

Gerber, Paul J. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1994
This article proposes use of a life-span developmental perspective in research on adults with learning disabilities. Considerations for incorporating such essential concepts as mediating variables, context, and age-span phases into research on this population are discussed. (DB)

Goldman, Susan R.; And Others – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1997
This paper argues that the shift from behaviorist learning theories to constructivist and social constructivist theories provides an opportunity to develop a hybrid model of mathematics instruction for students with learning disabilities. The proposed model embeds important skill learning in meaningful contexts. Evaluation data on such embedded…

Ellis, Edwin S. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1993
This paper proposes an instructional model for integrating cognitive strategy instruction and content area instruction when teaching students with learning disabilities in content area classes. In the model, teacher-mediated instructional devices and routines used to teach content area subjects serve as a basis for teaching students to…

D'Amato, Rik Carl; Rothlisberg, Barbara A. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1996
This article focuses on the educational implications of traumatic brain injury (TBI). It considers conceptual issues of TBI and discusses how assessment of this group differs from assessment of other groups. It offers an integrated intervention approach which attempts to bring order to students' life experiences, called the S.O.S. (Structure,…

Woodward, John; Noell, John – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1991
Two programs are described for teaching earth science and introductory chemistry to secondary students with learning disabilities. Development of the two models involved curriculum revision to engage students in higher order thinking, teaching fewer topics in more depth, and design of materials to provide an integrated, problem-solving basis for…

Kinder, Diane; Bursuck, William – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1991
This paper describes common practices in social studies instruction and proposes a conceptually based model of history instruction for learning-disabled students, involving sameness analysis and integrating concepts into a network of knowledge. The model includes preskill instruction, problem-solution-effect analysis and note taking, vocabulary…

Evans, Larry D. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1990
A conceptual overview of the Regression Discrepancy Model (RDM) for assessing discrepancy between intelligence quotient and achievement scores is offered. Six RDM goals are identified, and figures from a RDM computer output show basic outcomes. Strengths and weaknesses of the RDM are discussed, without the use of complex mathematical descriptions.…
