Styck, Kara M.; Watkins, Marley W. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2016
The structural validity of the "Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Fourth Edition" (WISC-IV) was evaluated using confirmatory factor analysis for a clinical sample of 1,537 students diagnosed with specific learning disabilities (SLD) by school psychologists in two large southwestern school districts. Results indicated that a…

Del Tufo, Stephanie N.; Earle, F. Sayako – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2020
Developmental language disorder (DLD) and developmental dyslexia (DD) are two prevalent subtypes of Specific Learning Disabilities (SLDs; "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders" [5th ed.; DSM-5]). Yet, little information is available regarding the distinct challenges faced by adults with DLD and/or DD in college. The…

Dysgraphia Differs between Children with Developmental Coordination Disorder and/or Reading Disorder
Caroline Jolly; Marianne Jover; Jérémy Danna – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2024
Handwriting deficits, or dysgraphia, are present in several neurodevelopmental disorders. To investigate whether dysgraphia differs according to the associated disorder, we performed a detailed analysis of handwriting in a group of French children with developmental coordination disorders (DCD), reading disorder (RD), or comorbid RD and DCD.…

Alamargot, Denis; Morin, Marie-France; Simard-Dupuis, Erika – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2020
Developmental dyslexia is defined as a specific reading disorder but is also thought to be underpinned by a deficit in motor skills that may well affect handwriting performance. However, the results of studies addressing this issue are not consistent. The present study was, therefore, designed to better understand the functioning of handwriting in…

Chen, Xiaoying; Ye, Maolin; Chang, Lei; Chen, Weigang; Zhou, Renlai – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2018
Working memory (WM) deficiency is a primary reason for the poor academic performance of children with learning disabilities (LDs). Studies have shown that the WM of typical children could be improved through training, and WM training contributes to improving their fluid intelligence and academic achievement. However, few studies have investigated…

Valdois, Sylviane; Reilhac, Caroline; Ginestet, Emilie; Line Bosse, Marie – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2021
A wide share of secondary school children does not reach the expected competence level in reading. These children could benefit from more efficient intervention responses, providing a better understanding of their cognitive weaknesses/deficits. Our aim was to explore the cognitive heterogeneity of a population of poor readers identified from a…

Guarini, Annalisa; Tobia, Valentina; Bonifacci, Paola; Faldella, Giacomo; Sansavini, Alessandra – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2021
Difficulties in mathematics have been described in very preterm children, but their origins are not well understood and may differ from other populations with specific learning disability. Very preterm children, children with learning disability, and typically developing children were compared in mathematics skills, using standardized tools,…

De Visscher, Alice; Noël, Marie-Pascale; Pesenti, Mauro; Dormal, Valérie – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2018
Numerous studies have tried to identify the core deficit of developmental dyscalculia (DD), mainly by assessing a possible deficit of the mental representation of numerical magnitude. Research in healthy adults has shown that numerosity, duration, and space share a partly common system of magnitude processing and representation. However, in DD,…

Sumner, Emma; Connelly, Vincent – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2020
Previous work suggests that written text produced by university students with dyslexia is scored lower than that produced by their peers. The present study used a digital writing tablet to examine the writing process and the quality of text written by university students with dyslexia. Revision behavior during and after writing was also…

Taboada Barber, Ana; Klauda, Susan Lutz; Wang, Weimeng; Cartwright, Kelly B.; Cutting, Laurie E. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2022
This study centered on emergent bilingual (EB) students with specific reading comprehension deficits (S-RCD), that is, with poor reading comprehension despite solid word identification skills. The participants were 209 students in Grades 2 to 4, including both EBs and English monolinguals (EMs) with and without S-RCD. Mean comparisons indicated…

Lambert, Katharina; Spinath, Birgit – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2018
The aim of the present study was to investigate the associations between elementary school children's mathematical achievement and their conservation abilities, visuospatial skills, and numerosity processing speed. We also assessed differences in these abilities between children with different types of learning problems. In Study 1 (N = 229), we…

Vaughn, Sharon; Capin, Philip; Scammacca, Nancy; Roberts, Greg; Cirino, Paul; Fletcher, Jack M. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2020
This study examines the initial word reading performance of fourth-grade struggling readers and the extent to which differing levels of word reading performance at pretest influenced their response to reading interventions. A large group of students with significant reading comprehension difficulties (N = 481) were classified into three clusters…

Poletti, Michele – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2016
The fifth edition of the "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders" grouped specific learning disabilities in the single diagnostic category of specific learning disorder (SLD), with specifiers for impairments in reading, written expression, and mathematics. This study aimed at investigating the intellectual profile,…

Peng, Peng; Fuchs, Douglas – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2017
Researchers are increasingly interested in working memory (WM) training. However, it is unclear whether it strengthens comprehension in young children who are at risk for learning difficulties. We conducted a modest study of whether the training of verbal WM would improve verbal WM and passage listening comprehension and whether training effects…

Milburn, Trelani F.; Lonigan, Christopher J.; Phillips, Beth M. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2019
The current study investigated the stability of children's risk status across the preschool year. A total of 1,102 preschool children attending Title 1 schools (n = 631) and non-Title 1 schools (n = 471) participated in this study. Using averaged standard scores for two measures of language, print knowledge, and phonological awareness administered…
