Peltier, Corey; Flores, Margaret M.; Strickland, Tricia K. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2023
Single-case research design is a useful methodology for evaluating the presence of a functional relation between an intervention and the mathematical performance of students with a learning disability. However, a functional relation cannot be established with threats to internal validity of the design. External validity is impacted if researchers…

Firat, Tahsin; Ergul, Cevriye – Educational Research Quarterly, 2019
One of the main reasons why students with learning disabilities have difficulty in reading comprehension is their inability to have metacognitive skills such as planning, monitoring and evaluating their reading performance. In this context, the study aimed to investigate the effects of the TWA strategy ["Think Before Reading, Think While…

Satsangi, Rajiv; Hammer, Rachel; Evmenova, Anya S. – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2018
Students with learning disabilities often struggle with the academic demands presented in secondary mathematics curricula. To combat these students' struggles, researchers have studied various pedagogical practices and classroom technologies for teaching standards covered in subjects such as algebra and geometry. However, as the role of computer-…

Çetrez-Iscan, Galibiye; Nurçin, Elçin; Fazlioglu, Yesim – Educational Research and Reviews, 2016
Dressing skill is one of the necessary self-care skills that is taught to individuals with autism in order for them to be able to live independently. Typically, developing individuals can acquire dressing skill on their own; however, children with autism have difficulties in learning such skill without systematic teaching. Thus, teaching dressing…

Hwang, Jiwon; Riccomini, Paul J. – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2016
Requirements for reasoning, explaining, and generalizing mathematical concepts increase as students advance through the educational system; hence, improving overall mathematical proficiency is critical. Mathematical proficiency requires students to interpret quantities and their corresponding relationships during problem-solving tasks as well as…

Stevens, Elizabeth A.; Walker, Melodee A.; Vaughn, Sharon – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2017
Fluent word reading is hypothesized to facilitate reading comprehension by improving automatic word reading, thus releasing a reader's cognitive resources to focus on meaning. Many students with learning disabilities (LD) struggle to develop reading fluency, which affects reading comprehension. This synthesis extends Chard, Vaughn, and Tyler's…

Dennis, Minyi Shih; Sorrells, Audrey McCray; Falcomata, Terry S. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2016
This study used a multiple probe across participants design, replicated across two interventions and counterbalanced across participant groups to examine the effects of number sense intervention and extensive practice intervention on strategy transformation when students with mathematics learning disabilities (MLD) solved basic fact problems. In…

von Koss Torkildsen, Janne; Dailey, Natalie S.; Aguilar, Jessica M.; Gomez, Rebecca; Plante, Elena – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2013
Purpose: Even without explicit instruction, learners are able to extract information about the form of a language simply by attending to input that reflects the underlying grammar. In this study, the authors explored the role of variability in this learning by asking whether varying the number of unique exemplars heard by the learner affects…

Flores, Margaret M.; Hinton, Vanessa M.; Schweck, Kelly B. – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2014
The Common Core Standards require demonstration of conceptual knowledge of numbers, operations, and relations between mathematical concepts. Supplemental instruction should explicitly guide students with specific learning disabilities (SLD) in these skills. In this article, we illustrate implementation of the concrete-representational-abstract…

Haegele, Katherine; Burns, Matthew K. – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2015
The amount of information that students can successfully learn and recall at least 1 day later is called an acquisition rate (AR) and is unique to the individual student. The current study extended previous drill rehearsal research with word recognition by (a) using students identified with a learning disability in reading, (b) assessing set sizes…

Satsangi, Rajiv; Bouck, Emily C. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2015
Secondary students with a learning disability in mathematics often struggle with the academic demands presented in advanced mathematics courses, such as algebra and geometry. With greater emphasis placed on problem solving and higher level thinking skills in these subject areas, students with a learning disability in mathematics often fail to keep…

Landa, Katrina G.; Barbetta, Patricia M. – Journal of International Special Needs Education, 2017
A multiple probe across participants design was used to explore the effects of repeated readings on the reading fluency, errors, and comprehension of 4, third-to-fifth grade English language learners (ELLs) with specific learning disabilities (SLD). Also, generalization measures to untaught passages and maintenance data were collected. In…

Goodman, Ashley; McLaughlin, T. F.; Derby, K. Mark; Everson, Mary – Educational Research Quarterly, 2015
Spelling skills are vital in teaching students to read and write effectively. One method to help students learn to spell words correctly is called cover, copy, and compare (CCC). This study was designed to evaluate the effects of using CCC on the spelling and writing skills of three students with learning disabilities. These skills were measured…

Mullaney, Lauren; Baker, Megan; Rutherford, Katie; Neyman, Jennifer; McLaughlin, T. F.; Stookey, Susan – Journal on Educational Psychology, 2014
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effects of the Direct Instruction REWARDS® program on reading complex words of two fifteen-year-old boys in a reading resource room. Both participants had difficulty in reading and were diagnosed as learning disabled. During baseline, both participants had difficulty in syllabication. The results showed…

Tsesmeli, Styliani N.; Tsirozi, Theologia – Themes in Science and Technology Education, 2015
The case-study aims to examine the effectiveness of training of morphological structure on the spelling of compounds by a spelling-disabled primary school student. The experimental design of the intervention was based on the word-pair paradigm and included a pre-test, a training program and a post-test (n = 50 pairs). The Training Program aimed to…
