Students identified with Emotional/Behavioral Disorders (EBD) often exhibit behavioral challengtablees that negatively affect their academic performance. One of the weaker academic areas for these students lies in reading. Although numerous research on interventions to improve their reading outcomes has been conducted, some students continue to…

The researchers conducted a qualitative case study on a learning community comprising special education and psychology majors. This community was strategically organized to foster interdisciplinary learning among its members and to design interventions for students struggling with mathematics anxiety, specifically in classes like Algebra 1.…

Culture is ubiquitous and plays a significant role in student knowledge development and reading comprehension. Therefore, the purpose of this review was to investigate how culture is considered within reading comprehension interventions for students with learning disabilities (LD) from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. Through a…

Fractions are an integral part of the mathematics curriculum. Most students acquire proficiency with these concepts during the course of their elementary education and are usually able to perform basic fractions operations when reaching middle-school age. However, a considerable number of students require extra help to not fall further and further…

The researcher conducted a qualitative case study of two sessions of a preservice teacher tutoring a student with a learning disability on Algebra 1 content. In this study, the focus was the tutor's use of gestures overlaid on the students' offloaded work on paper to help the student make sense of the problems. The student also demonstrated how…

This scoping review provides a comprehensive overview of available experimental research on writing interventions for K-12 students with learning disabilities (LD). After conducting a systematic search across multiple databases, journals, and previous meta-analyses, we located a total of 194 studies. Each study included in this review met the…

It is imperative teachers use evidence-based practices to instruct all learners. Yet, there are limited reviews focused on educational practices to support secondary students with learning disabilities in algebra. This evidence-based systematic review focused on research published in peer review journals between 1999 and 2019. Eighteen studies…

Mathematical word problems present various challenges for students, including English learners. Research on word problem-solving interventions for elementary English learners with or at risk for mathematics disabilities/difficulties was reviewed. A systematic search of studies conducted between 2012 and 2022 yielded a total of 14 research studies…

In transparent orthographic systems, such as the Greek one, reading problems of students with reading disabilities are related mostly to reading fluency rather than to decoding. Consequently, systematic and explicit instruction in reading fluency is considered necessary. Therefore, our major research goal in this study was the development of…

This study examines the effects of a working memory (WM) sensitive math intervention in students with learning disabilities (LD). The intervention aims to improve early mathematical competencies while accounting for weak cognitive resources through a reduced instructional design. These principles are considered to be effective for learning. Ten…

This paper provides a current and thorough review of the literature on the use of video modeling for students with learning disabilities published over the last four and a half decades. Eight video modeling intervention studies were retrieved and grouped into four areas: (a) mathematics, (b) reading, (c) social studies, and (d) social behavior.…

The ability to compose argumentative essays of sufficient quality is tantamount to the aptitude of thinking independently and critically, which is vital to playing an active part in one's society. Thus, the aim of teaching students this skill is incorporated into virtually every secondary school curriculum in almost all democratic countries around…

Students with mathematics learning disabilities (MLD) often require more intensive intervention in addition to quality core mathematics instruction. This research evaluates the effects of a point of view video modeling (POVM) intervention including virtual demonstrating of concrete mathematics manipulatives to teach simplifying fractions. Three…

Content writing contributes to students' positive learning and outcomes. Mathematical-content writing has been shown to positively support students' mathematical reasoning, but it is challenging for many students with and without learning disabilities. This study explores proof-of-concept evaluation to extend self-regulated strategy development,…

Recently, the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) reported that although countries around the world must ensure that students with disabilities receive free, inclusive, and appropriate education, students with disabilities are less likely to complete primary or secondary school in many countries. Though this…
