Computerized Writing and Reading Instruction for Students in Grades 4-9 with Specific Learning Disabilities Affecting Written Language
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Tanimoto, S.; Thompson, R.; Berninger, V. W.; Nagy, W.; Abbott, R. D. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2015
Computer scientists and educational researchers evaluated effectiveness of computerized instruction tailored to evidence-based impairments in specific learning disabilities (SLDs) in students in grades 4-9 with persisting SLDs despite prior extra help. Following comprehensive, evidence-based differential diagnosis for dysgraphia (impaired…

Mnemonic Strategy Instruction for Beginning Readers with Cognitive Impairments
Direct linkDirect link
Burton, Rivka – ProQuest LLC, 2013
Many students with cognitive impairments are not afforded the opportunity to develop their potential as readers. A review of the literature reveals that few researchers have evaluated the effects of phonics instruction on the reading skills of students with cognitive impairments. The purpose of this study was to test the effectiveness of a…

Using Visual Script Interventions to Address Communication Skills
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Ganz, Jennifer B. – TEACHING Exceptional Children, 2007
Visual scripts and related educational strategies such as video modeling and social script narratives provide visual or auditory cues to promote communication and social skills in children with disabilities. Visual scripts are particularly useful for teachers who work with children with learning disabilities, autism spectrum disorders, and…

Impaired Filtering of Behaviourally Irrelevant Visual Information in Dyslexia
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Roach, Neil W.; Hogben, John H. – Brain, 2007
A recent proposal suggests that dyslexic individuals suffer from attentional deficiencies, which impair the ability to selectively process incoming visual information. To investigate this possibility, we employed a spatial cueing procedure in conjunction with a single fixation visual search task measuring thresholds for discriminating the…

Coding Processes in Normal and Learning-Disabled Children: Evidence for Modality-Specific Pathways to the Cognitive System.
Ceci, Stephen J.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1980
Normal and learning disabled children were presented with visual and auditory items for free and cued recall. Deficits in semantically cued recall for children with one impaired modality originated at presentation time, perhaps because of separate pathways linking the auditory and visual modalities to the semantic system.

Discrimination-Reversal Training Eliminates Perceptual Errors of Learning-Disabled Children.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Braggio, John T.; And Others – Contemporary Educational Psychology, 1980
Letter pairs that could not be distinguished by learning disabled children were presented using an acquisition-reversal learning paradigm. Relevant external stimuli facilitated discrimination; in reversal, the cues were irrelevant. This technique facilitated learning, as well as retention four days later. (Attentional deficits are discussed). (GDC)
