While there is increased attention to power, privilege, and access in mathematics education, conversations around race and disability are often left out of the conversation. Disability in mathematics continues to be studied with a lens that focuses on behavior, rather than attending to the situated and sociopolitical context in which teaching and…

The researchers conducted a qualitative case study to describe the teaching and learning of a third grade student with a learning disability as he worked on multiplicative tasks with a tutor. The student's strategies, at participatory and anticipatory levels of understanding, were analyzed to inform instructional decisions we made to support the…

The purpose of this study was to investigate three elementary mathematics curricula to examine the accessibility for students with learning disabilities (LD) with regards to challenges associated with working memory. We chose to focus on students' experiences when finding the area of composite shapes due to the multiple steps involved for…

Mathematics textbooks are difficult for learning disabled students to read. Specific and general reading skills are discussed, followed by research findings on mathematics textbooks in terms of content, text structure, page format, vocabulary, and visual symbols. (MNS)

The purpose of this qualitative study was to investigate typical middle school general education mathematics teachers' beliefs and knowledge of students with learning disabilities and inclusive instruction and to gain an understanding of the process of inclusion as it is implemented in middle school classrooms. In-depth interviews, surveys, and…

Students in a high school biology course were assigned to an audio-tutorial instruction group or a group classroom situation for a three-week instructional unit. For each group scores on a unit test were correlated with scores on standardized tests. (SD)

This article reports a study conducted with fourteen learning-disabled elementary students to determine the growth of achievement and conservation abilities after using the "Sink or Float" unit of the Elementary Science Study. (MK)

An overview is provided of the current literature on mathematical learning of children with a learning disability. Mathematics for the population viewed is seen to mean mainly arithmetic. It is felt more research is clearly needed on teaching arithmetic to children with a learning disability. (MP)

Steps to be used in the development of a comprehensive mathematics program for learning disabled children are outlined. While the suggestions given deal mainly with mathematics, it is felt that the identification of strengths in pupils can and should be part of planning in all curriculum areas. (MP)

Inclusion is the meaningful participation of students with disabilities in general education classrooms. The CLASS project (Creating Laboratory Access for Science Students) is a unique initiative offering training and resources to help educators provide students with a variety of physical, sensory and learning disabilities equal access in the…

Case studies investigating the effectiveness of procedures undertaken to develop number sense and basic computational skills in (n=12) learning disabled students in a K-1 classroom found that all students were successful in recognizing and matching the numbers 0 through 5 and adding sums to 5.
