The neurocognitive mechanisms underlying prevalent learning disorders, such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, and their comorbidity, remain unclear and are the subject of ongoing debate. The core-deficit hypothesis has long been the dominant theory explaining these mechanisms across various learning disorders. However, this hypothesis faces criticism for…

The COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 forced many schools to deliver remote and/or online instruction, at least intermittently, to all students, including those with learning disabilities (LD; Grant, 2020). The move to remote (i.e., education provided not in the physical classroom or school) or virtual (i.e., learning facilitated by digital tools)…

This study examines US adults with learning disabilities' health information-seeking behaviors using PIAAC data. It aims to answer questions about preferred sources based on gender, race, literacy, and numeracy skills, and how lifelong learning impacts health seeking. Wilson's Information Seeking Behavior model is used as the theoretical…

This paper presents the ontological design and implementation of the differentiated learning environment in the domain model of an intelligent tutoring system for children with specific learning disabilities. It addresses the learners need for differentiated instruction in a preferential learning environment. The proposed model helps to identify…

It is crucial for students with learning disabilities (SLDs) to possess psychological resilience in order to pursue their careers as entrepreneurial individuals. One of the areas where entrepreneurship skills are taught in middle school is in science courses. This shows the importance of teaching psychological resilience in science courses. On the…

This article focuses on implementing the Science of Math through a culturally responsive framework designed to support culturally and linguistically diverse students in math classrooms. We consider the influence of (second) language acquisition and instructional environments for students in addition to specific ways to increase instructional…

Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a worldwide increase in the use of digital technology. Many people with learning disabilities have learned new digital skills, taken part in online activities, and kept in touch with family and friends using video calls.

Social, emotional, and academic skills are essential to success in school, the workplace, our homes, and our communities, allowing individuals to contribute successfully and meaningfully to our society (Durlak, Weissberg, Dymnicki, Taylor, & Schellinger, 2011; Jones & Kahn, 2017). The labor market acknowledges the importance of these…

This is a case study on precision education (PE) in a school using the Taiwan adaptive learning platform (TALP), established by the Ministry of Education of Taiwan. TALP can be viewed as a form of PE because it can identify students' learning deficits, offer various learning materials, and provide feedback. There are limited studies on PE. The…

The COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on the world led to major changes in educational practices worldwide and presented many challenges for students from vulnerable groups. In this study, we examined protective and risk factors related to schooling from the perspective of students with learning disabilities (LD) and/or…

Understanding the individual qualities sustaining students with and without specific learning disabilities (SLDs) is key to supporting their academic achievement and well-being. In this study, we investigated the differences between students with and without SLDs in terms of intraindividual factors (soft skills and study-related factors), academic…

Productive engagement in fractional reasoning is essential for abstracting fundamental algebraic concepts vital to college and career success. Yet, data suggest students with learning disabilities (LDs), in particular, display pervasive shortfalls in learning and mastering fraction content. We argue that shortfalls in understanding are in fact…

Handwriting is a useful skill through education, yet handwriting difficulties are common in students with Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD), including Developmental Coordination Disorder. There are few practical tools to assess legibility, among these the Handwriting Legibility Scale (HLS) shows good reliability and validity for 9- to…

The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of technology-supported mathematical modeling method on the mathematical skills of a fourth-grade student with Mathematical Learning Disabilities. The study group consists of a fourth-grade student. It was discovered that the student lacked numerical and logical skills compared to other students.…

Background/purpose. Students with learning disabilities (SLDs), bilingual learners (BLs), and English language learners (ELLs) represent heterogeneous groups. With the rising number of SLDs and the expansion of English as a second language instruction in Saudi elementary schools, a critical challenge emerges: How can learning disabilities (LDs) be…
