Mikulak, Magdalena; Ryan, Sara; Russell, Siabhainn; Caton, Sue; Keagan-Bull, Richard; Spalding, Rebecca; Ribenfors, Francesca; Hatton, Christopher – British Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2023
Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic changed the way we live, work, interact and do research. Many activities moved online, and digital inclusion became an urgent issue for researchers working with people with learning disabilities and other groups at risk of exclusion. This has generated new questions about how we conduct research…

Reading is a complex, uniquely human invention for communication through print. It is a critical ability for making progress in education. Students with reading difficulties, the most common learning disability, struggle with reading fluency and accuracy. Skilled reading is enabled by the coordination of a network of brain regions interconnected…

Berkeley, Sheri; Hock, Michael; Washburn, Jocelyn – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2023
Many students with learning disabilities (LD) do not master basic reading skills, which affects later reading fluency and reading comprehension development. Single-case experimental design (SCED) research yields unique opportunities to better understand which aspects of a basic reading intervention are effective with a particular student,…

Love, Hailey R.; Cook, Bryan G.; Cook, Lysandra – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2022
Mixed-methods research can uniquely inform special education practice by combining qualitative and quantitative research approaches. However, its distinct features can also make mixed-methods research difficult to understand and apply. In this article, we provide an introduction to mixed-methods research purposes, designs, and quality…

Leko, Melinda M.; Cook, Bryan G.; Cook, Lysandra – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2021
Qualitative research methods are used within special education research to provide insights about how and why phenomena occur. They can, however, be misunderstood and applied inappropriately. Our aim in this article is to provide an overview of qualitative methods, including their purpose, contributions to research involving students with learning…

S. V. Chetan – Anthropology & Education Quarterly, 2025
Comics-based /arts-based research is increasingly employed in anthropology and other social science disciplines. As part of my ongoing doctoral research on the experiences of young adults with learning disabilities in India, I have engaged in researcher-produced drawings/comics to depict my fieldwork findings. In this paper, I present three…

Ayse Dilsad Yakut; Savas Akgul – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2024
Since the learning disability (LD) population comprises the largest group receiving special education services, there is a need for research to examine the self-concept of this population at a global level. This systematic literature review synthesized 20 years of quantitative research (k = 16) about the self-concept of students with LD. The…

Peltier, Corey; Flores, Margaret M.; Strickland, Tricia K. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2023
Single-case research design is a useful methodology for evaluating the presence of a functional relation between an intervention and the mathematical performance of students with a learning disability. However, a functional relation cannot be established with threats to internal validity of the design. External validity is impacted if researchers…

Olivia Enders; Seth A. King; Brendon Nylen; Lanqi Wang; Oluwatosin Opeoluwa – Behavioral Disorders, 2024
Single-case designs substantiate the effectiveness of interventions for people with disabilities and other populations through the repeated measurement of behavior over time. Consequently, employing accurate and reliable systems of measurement is critical to the validity of single-case designs. Much of the data in single-case research are…
