Much is known about short-term--but very little about the long-term--effects of reading interventions. To rectify this, a detailed analysis of follow-up effects as a function of intervention, sample, and methodological variables was conducted. A total of 71 intervention-control groups were selected (N = 8,161 at posttest) from studies reporting…

Fuchs, Lynn S.; Fuchs, Douglas; Compton, Donald L. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2012
In this article, the authors consider the power and limitations of responsiveness-to-intervention (RTI) for reducing the need for ongoing and intensive services for the segment of the school population traditionally identified as having a learning disability in mathematics. To assess the robustness of RTI, the authors describe four studies with…

Tran, Loan; Sanchez, Tori; Arellano, Brenda; Swanson, H. Lee – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2011
This article synthesizes the literature comparing at-risk children designated as responders and low responders to interventions in reading. The central question addressed in this review is whether individual differences in reading-related skills at pretest predict responders at posttest across a variety of interventions and sets of criteria for…

For Which Students with Learning Disabilities Are Self-Concept Interventions Effective?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Elbaum, Batya; Vaughn, Sharon – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2003
This meta-analysis looked at outcomes of school-based interventions aimed at enhancing the self-concept of students with learning disabilities, specifically effect sizes in relation to students' self-concepts prior to the intervention. Results indicated that only students with documented low self-concept benefited significantly from intervention.…
