Powell, Sarah R.; Stevens, Elizabeth A.; Berry, Katherine A. – Learning Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2019
Word problems require students to read a language-based problem, identify necessary information to answer a prompt, and perform calculation(s) to develop a problem solution. Solving word problems proves particularly challenging for students with mathematics difficulties because skill in reading, interpretation of language, and mathematics are…

Anderson, Alida; Berry, Katherine A. – Learning Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2014
Dramatic language arts integration (DLA) and conventional language arts (CLA) lessons were compared for their influence on third grade students' written narrative cohesion and on-task behavior in a self-contained, nonpublic elementary classroom. Participants included students (N = 14) with comorbid language-based learning disabilities (LD) and…

Avtzon, Sarah Abitbol – Learning Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2012
Working memory, executive functions, and cognitive processes associated with specific academic areas, are empirically identified as being the core underlying cognitive deficits in students with specific learning disabilities. Using Hebb's theory of neuroplasticity and the principle of automaticity as theoretical bases, this experimental study…

Defining Learning Disability: Does IQ Have Anything Significant to Say?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Dunn, Michael W. – Learning Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2010
A debate exists in the research community about replacing the traditional IQ/achievement discrepancy method for learning disability identification with a "response-to-intervention model". This new assessment paradigm uses a student's level of improvement with small-group or individual programming to determine a possible need for…

Smith, Lisa F.; Montani, Teresa Oettinger – Learning Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2008
The benefits of multisensory instruction for teaching mathematics to students in resource rooms were explored. Participants were third and fourth graders (n = 12) in 3 resource rooms for replacement mathematics in a middle-class school district in New Jersey. The students received weekly instruction for several months, using manipulatives and word…

Spencer, Sue; Logan, Kent – Learning Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2005
This study examined the effects of providing explicit metacognitive instruction prior to cognitive strategy instruction on students' with learning disabilities ability to generalize a vocabulary strategy learned in a special education setting to a general education setting. The subjects were eight elementary school students with learning…
