Billingsley, Glenna M.; Thomas, Cathy N.; Webber, Jo A. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2018
The purpose of this exploratory study was to determine whether learning preferences of secondary students identified with concomitant learning disabilities (LD) and emotional disturbance (ED) align with the instructional method with which they best learned mathematics. Responses to a preference survey given before and after instruction were…

Xin, Yan Ping; Tzur, Ron; Hord, Casey; Liu, Jia; Park, Joo Young; Si, Luo – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2017
The Common Core Mathematics Standards have raised expectations for schools and students in the United States. These standards demand much deeper content knowledge from teachers of mathematics and their students. Given the increasingly diverse student population in today's classrooms and shortage of qualified special education teachers,…

Schumaker, Jean B.; Fisher, Joseph B.; Walsh, Lisa D. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2010
Effects of a computerized professional development (PD) program were investigated in two studies. For each, teachers were randomly assigned to either a Virtual Workshop (VW) group that used a computerized program for PD or to an Actual Workshop (AW) group that participated in a live PD session. In Study 1, the teachers' knowledge about and…

Grossen, Bonnie; Carnine, Doug – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1990
Comparison of 2 computer-assisted instructional treatments in syllogistic reasoning--one requiring a deeper level of processing with a diagrammatic response--found that the 13 learning-disabled high school students receiving the diagrammatic instruction required fewer trials to achieve mastery criteria and produced significantly higher posttest…

Larsen, Steen – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1995
Questions of "quality" in the use of technology with children with learning disabilities are discussed, focusing on the need for basic pedagogical considerations; the impact of the computer on the learning process relative to factors of learner control, motivation, feedback type, graphics, and screen design; and use of computerized speech feedback…

Lancaster, Paula E.; Schumaker, Jean B.; Lancaster, Sean J. C.; Deshler, Donald D. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2009
Students with disabilities must meet many testing demands, given the current emphasis on accountability and state competency testing. The purpose of this project was to develop and field test a computerized program to teach the Test-Taking Strategy (Hughes, Schumaker, Deshler, & Mercer, 1988) to secondary-level students with disabilities. The…

Russell, Susan Jo – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1986
The author suggests that computers help teachers consider what education should be for students with special needs but that the potential of computers will dissipate if the real question of what students are learning is not addressed. (CL)

Chiang, Berttram – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1986
Three male and three female fourth grade learning disabled students received microcomputer assisted instruction in multiplication. Results indicated that about 12 days' computer drill yielded mean gains of 4.7 and 6.1 facts per minute for girls and boys, respectively. Results suggested transfer of learning to conventional paper-and-pencil tasks.…

Horton, Steven V.; And Others – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1988
A computerized map tutorial and a more traditional atlas based instructional method to teach geographic locations were compared with 15 remedial and 12 learning disabled grade nine students. The computerized map tutorial produced significantly higher performance for both groups of students and there were no significant differences between the…

Torgesen, Joseph K.; And Others – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1988
The study evaluated the relative effectiveness of three variations of a computer program designed to increase the sight-word reading vocabulary of 17 learning-disabled children in grades 1,2, and 3. No differences among the visual-only, the visual-auditory, or auditory-only presentation modes were observed. (Author/DB)

Kerchner, Leanne B.; Kistinger, Barbara J. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1984
A preliminary classroom study is reported in which learning disabled intermediate students participated in a holistic approach that combined the process approach to writing with the word processing capabilities of the microcomputer. Results suggested that improved written language skills on the computer transfer to pencil-and-paper tasks. (CL)

Bryant, Diane Pedrotty; Goodwin, Marilyn; Bryant, Brian R.; Higgins, Kellie – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2003
A review of six articles (1978-present) on vocabulary interventions involving secondary students with learning disabilities found interventions fall into four areas: computer-assisted instruction, fluency-building vocabulary practice activities, mnemonic strategy instruction, and concept enhancement instruction. Overall, positive results were…

Torgesen, Joseph K.; Barker, Theodore A. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1995
This article provides examples of ways computer-assisted instruction can help children with learning disabilities (LD) learn to read more effectively. Computer programs providing training in phonological awareness, specific context-free word identification skills, and reading of connected text are described, and preliminary evidence of their…

MacArthur, Charles A. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1999
Two studies compared handwriting, word processing, and word prediction with speech-synthesis software (PR) with three intermediate-grade students with severe spelling problems. Results suggested that PR software can improve the writing of such students under certain circumstances but that constraints, such as the difficulty of using the software,…
