The aim of this study was to examine the effects of mandala design training on the sensory, cognitive, and emotional perception skills of 8-10-year-old children with specific learning disorder. The study had a randomized-controlled design and was conducted in an experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group. The sample consisted of 28…

Learning disabilities are challenging to characterize because they evolve throughout development, frequently co-occur, and have varying domain specificity. Addressing these challenges, we analyzed longitudinal patterns of growth, co-occurrence, and specificity manifesting in the math and reading skills of children with and without learning…

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,…

Living and working in a boarding school for students with learning disabilities is a challenging way of life. One concern is the mental fatigue that accompanies long hours, living on campus and adapting to an unconventional lifestyle. The result can be a lackluster educational experience for the staff and students. The literature surrounding…

In our inclusive schools, teachers work with many children who have learning differences such as attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and learning disabilities. For most children with special learning needs such as these, educators focus on helping them to achieve academic skills. However, educators are finding that delays in social…

A sizeable proportion of adults has learning disabilities (LD); along with having LD, incidence of other disabilities and health conditions is a concern. Adults with LD face educational and employment challenges as well. Little is known about their skills in numeracy and digital literacy and how they use those skills, whether in the workplace or…

Background: COVID-19 is a life-threatening virus which has circulated the globe resulting in unprecedented effects on the daily lives of people across the world. Countries across the globe have advocated measures, including self-isolation and maintaining social distance to reduce the spread of COVID-19. The pandemic has seen an increase in the use…

This study examined the impact of experiential education through the utilization of vignettes on graduate student knowledge, skills, and attitudes in the area of written language disorders. Graduate students enrolled in a written language disorders class completed assessment measures designed to examine clinical understanding and confidence when…

Video Modeling (VM) is one of the most widely used approaches by researchers to improve many skills, such as academic skills in students with Learning Disabilities (LD; Boon et al., 2020). As the incidence rate of individuals with LD in Saudi Arabia increase (Almedlij & Rubinstein-Avila, 2018), the need for evidence-based math interventions…

This paper presents a replication study investigating the effectiveness of a strategy to assist students with learning difficulties in adding fractions. Drawing on the research conducted by Grünke et al. (2023), this single-case analysis extends the application of the "Look, Ask, Pick" (LAP) mnemonic technique initially introduced by…

For decades, Blissymbolics (Bliss) has been used as a communicative symbol system for persons with complex communication needs. The linguistic features of Bliss words offer the potential for use with learners with learning disabilities to acquire literacy; however, no formal documentation of this is available. This qualitative study aims to…

In this article, recent developments in the assessment of writing, especially informational writing, are connected with research-based instruction that is likely to have an impact on students with disabilities and the wide range of student writing development in Grades 3 to 8. The objectives are for educators to assess, interpret, and set goals…

We examined longitudinal relations between 1st-grade cognitive predictors (early nonverbal reasoning, processing speed, listening comprehension, working memory, calculation skill, word-problem solving, word-reading fluency, attentive behavior, and numerical cognition) and 2nd-grade academic outcomes (calculations, word-problem solving, and word…

Prior studies have shown the efficacy of computer-based cognitive training programs in improving cognitive and academic functions in children diagnosed with a specific learning disorder (SLD). However, these studies often focused on center-based approaches without considering the involvement of parents or the inclusion of home-based tasks in…

Recent studies have indicated that digital platforms cannot amalgamate learning solutions for students with learning disabilities. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive overview of the literature on the topic and methods to elaborate on earlier studies on learning disabilities. These findings can help new researchers develop effective…
