This study examined the effects of multisensory storytelling facilitated through iPads on the understanding of science concepts related to botany among students with severe intellectual disability (ID). A single-subject, multiple- baseline design was used to evaluate three participants diagnosed with severe ID. During the intervention phase,…

The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated digitization, access to IT resources, and digital inclusion in the Italian school system.

This study replicates and extends prior research on multisensory mathematics instruction (Grünke, Urton, & Karnes, 2018) by integrating a touch points strategy, performance feedback, reward system, and a reinforcing card game into an instructional package. A multiple baseline design across participants was used to evaluate the effects of the…

Multisensory instructional approach leads to increased engagement, improved attitudes towards learning, improved information processing, and improved retrieval of learned information. The purpose of the present study was to examine the extent to which multisensory approach can be used to improve emergent literacy skills in children with autism…

Reading difficulties are the most common cause of academic failure and underachievement (International Dyslexic Association, 2012).

The purpose of…

The reading skills of many deaf children lag several years behind those of hearing children, and there is a need for identifying reading difficulties and implementing effective reading support strategies in this population. This study embraces a balanced reading approach, and investigates the efficacy of applying multi-sensory coding strategies…

"Orton-Gillingham" is a broad, multisensory approach to teaching reading and spelling that can be modified for individual or group instruction at all reading levels. Teaching sessions are action oriented with auditory, visual, and kinesthetic elements reinforcing one another. The approach targets persons with the kinds of language…

"Project Read"[R] is a multisensory language arts curriculum designed for use in a classroom or group setting. Two main objectives of the program are to use language in all its forms, and to use responsive instruction rather than preplanned textbook lessons. The program emphasizes direct instruction, and lessons move from letter-sounds…

The study found that college students with learning disabilities given a remedial summer reading program using the Orton-Gillingham multisensory alphabetic phonetic approach achieved statistically significant gains when compared to groups receiving a nonphonetic intervention or receiving no intervention.
