Students with intellectual disability often receive limited explicit instruction in comprehension strategies. The current study evaluated the effects of a multi-component literacy intervention designed to improve comprehension of high school students with moderate intellectual disability on adapted expository science text. The multi-component…

A multiple probe across participants design was used to examine the effectiveness of a treatment package to teach students with moderate intellectual disability how to solve simple linear equations. The investigator read realistic scenarios of a problem, used actual items as manipulatives, presented a visual aid of the equation, and used a system…

The current study was conducted in Taiwan to examine the effectiveness of using a self-monitoring strategy to increase the percentage of completion of classroom tasks for three high school seniors with moderate intellectual disability. We used a multiple-probe-across-subjects single-case design to evaluate the use of a self-monitoring tool to…

Preliminary research shows promise for the use of supported electronic text (eText) combined with explicit instruction in facilitating comprehension for students with intellectual disability. Researchers used a multiple probe across participants design to evaluate effects of supported eText including explicit instruction on measures of vocabulary,…

The ability to solve mathematical problems related to purchasing and personal finance is important in promoting skill generalization and increasing independence for individuals with moderate intellectual disabilities (IDs). Using a multiple probe across participant design, this study investigated the effects of modified schema-based instruction…

Effects of an embedded simultaneous prompting procedure to teach STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) content to three secondary students with moderate intellectual disabilities in an inclusive general education classroom were evaluated in the current study. Students learned discrete (i.e., geometric figures, science vocabulary, or use of…

Reading opens the world to individuals and is one of the most important skills learned in school. Around the world, researchers are focused on improving reading instruction for all students, including students with developmental disabilities. Much energy is spent teaching reading basics such as early literacy skills to primary-aged learners…

Number comparison is a fundamental skill required for academic and functional mathematics (e.g., time, money, purchasing) for students with disabilities. The most commonly used method to teach number comparison is number lines. Although historically paper number lines are used, app-based number lines may offer greater flexibility. This study…

The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB, 2006) set a precedent that established even higher expectations for all students, including those with disabilities. More recently, the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices and the Council of Chief State School Officers developed a common set of state standards for proficiency in English…
