Tuire Koponen; Kenneth Eklund; Kaisa Aunola; Anna-Maija Poikkeus; Marja-Kristiina Lerkkanen; Minna Torppa – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2025
The long-term negative consequences of learning difficulties have been acknowledged. Nonetheless, research is still scarce regarding the prediction of adolescent difficulties in reading and arithmetic skills. The present study examines at which age phase and with what kind of constellation of parent- and child-related factors can adolescent…

Washburn, Jocelyn – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2022
In this article, I systematically review evidence on the relations between oral reading fluency (ORF) and reading comprehension (RC) for adolescents with limited reading proficiency (ALRP) in Grades 6 to12. I organized findings from 23 studies into five themes: (a) unclear role of ORF in the simple view of reading model for ALRP, (b) ALRP have…

Aro, Tuija; Eklund, Kenneth; Eloranta, Anna-Kaija; Ahonen, Timo; Rescorla, Leslie – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2022
Our purpose was to study the frequency of behavioral-emotional problems among children identified with a learning disability (LD). The data were obtained for 579 Finnish children (8-15 years) with reading disability (RD-only), math disability (MD-only), or both (RDMD) assessed at a specialized clinic between 1985 and 2017. We analyzed percentages…

Prunty, Mellissa; Barnett, Anna L. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2020
Handwriting difficulties are frequently mentioned in descriptions of developmental coordination disorder (DCD). Recent studies have shown that children with DCD pause more and produce less text than typically developing (TD) peers. This temporal dysfluency indicates a lack of automaticity in handwriting production. One possible contributing factor…

Zhao, Fengqing; Li, Sen; Li, Tianran; Yu, Guoliang – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2019
The academic underperformance of high school students with learning disabilities may reduce their access to higher education and decrease their employment opportunities. Based on stereotype threat hypothesis, the present study examined the role of stereotype threat in academic performance among adolescents with learning disabilities and the…

Sainio, Petra J.; Eklund, Kenneth M.; Ahonen, Timo P. S.; Kiuru, Noona H. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2019
The present study examines associations between learning difficulties (LD), academic emotions, and academic achievement among 845 Grade 6 adolescents (455 girls, 390 boys). Reading difficulties (RD) and math difficulties (MD) were identified based on tested reading and math skills in the fall semester of Grade 6. At this time, the students also…

Graham, Steve; Hebert, Michael; Fishman, Evan; Ray, Amber B.; Rouse, Amy Gillespie – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2020
In this meta-analysis, we examined whether children classified with specific language impairment (SLI) experience difficulties with writing. We included studies comparing children with SLI to (a) typically developing peers matched on age (k = 39 studies) and (b) typically developing younger peers with similar language capabilities (k = six…

Sideridis, Georgios D.; Stamovlasis, Dimitrios; Antoniou, Faye – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2016
The purpose of the present study was to examine the hypothesis that a nonlinear relationship exists between a performance-classroom climate and the reading achievement of adolescent students with learning disabilities (LD). Participants were 62 students with LD (Grades 5-9) from public elementary schools in northern Greece. Classroom climate was…

Waber, Deborah P.; Boiselle, Ellen C.; Forbes, Peter W.; Girard, Jonathan M.; Sideridis, Georgios D. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2019
Learning problems (LP) can have wider implications than the academic deficits per se. The goal of the present series of studies was to develop a reliable and valid quality-of-life measure targeted to children and adolescents with LP. In Study 1, using a 35-item questionnaire, we surveyed 151 parents/guardians of children referred for assessment of…

Daniel, Johny; Capin, Philip; Steinle, Paul – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2021
A majority of reading-related intervention studies aiming to remediate struggling readers' reading outcomes assess student performance immediately following the conclusion of an intervention to determine intervention effects. Few studies collect follow-up data to measure the long-term sustainability of treatment effects. Hence, the aim of the…

Oefinger, Lisa M.; Peverly, Stephen T. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2020
The note- and test-taking skills of typically functioning undergraduates are significantly and positively related to handwriting speed, listening comprehension, background knowledge and sustained attention. This study attempted to replicate these findings with two groups of high school students--those with and without the diagnosis of a learning…

Töro, Krisztina Tárnokiné; Miklósi, Mónika; Horanyi, Eszter; Kovács, Gábor Pers; Balázs, Judit – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2018
Several studies have reported high comorbidity for reading disability (RD) and psychiatric disorders. The aim of this study was to investigate the comorbidity of subthreshold and full psychiatric disorders with RD while comparing subgroups based on age of RD recognition (early vs. late). We analyzed data from 130 children with RD and 82 typically…

Niileksela, Christopher R.; Reynolds, Matthew R. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2014
This study was designed to better understand the relations between learning disabilities and different levels of latent cognitive abilities, including general intelligence (g), broad cognitive abilities, and specific abilities based on the Cattell-Horn-Carroll theory of intelligence (CHC theory). Data from the "Differential Ability…

Andersen, Per N.; Egeland, Jens; Øie, Merete – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2013
There are relatively few studies on learning and delayed memory with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The objective of the present study was to examine acquisition, free delayed memory, and recognition skills in medication naive children and adolescents aged 8-16 years with ADHD combined subtype (36 participants) and inattentive…
