Steven L. Meisler – ProQuest LLC, 2024
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…

Children with dyslexia frequently also struggle with math. However, studies of reading disability (RD) rarely assess math skill, and the neurocognitive mechanisms underlying co-occurring reading and math disability (RD+MD) are not clear. The current study aimed to identify behavioral and neurocognitive factors associated with co-occurring MD among…

Viesel-Nordmeyer, Nurit; Reuber, Julia; Kuhn, Jörg-Tobias; Moll, Kristina; Holling, Heinz; Dobel, Christian – Educational Psychology Review, 2023
The causes underlying comorbid learning difficulties in reading (RD) and math (MD) are still a matter of debate. Based on current research, two models for the relation of the cognitive profile of isolated and combined learning difficulties (RDMD) are discussed. Regarding the "multi-deficit model", the profile of RDMD is characterized by…

Kimberly Ann McCue – ProQuest LLC, 2021
Nonverbal Learning Disability (NLD) has been the focus of four decades of neuropsychological research. However, it has yet to be included as a diagnostic category in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (i.e., currently in its fifth edition, DSM-5, American Psychiatric Association, 2013). Many of the characteristics associated…

Malins, Jeffrey G.; Landi, Nicole; Ryherd, Kayleigh; Frijters, Jan C.; Magnuson, James S.; Rueckl, Jay G.; Pugh, Kenneth R.; Sevcik, Rose; Morris, Robin – Developmental Science, 2021
Word learning is critical for the development of reading and language comprehension skills. Although previous studies have indicated that word learning is compromised in children with reading disability (RD) or developmental language disorder (DLD), it is less clear how word learning difficulties manifest in children with comorbid RD and DLD.…

Kwok, F. Y.; Ansari, D. – Learning: Research and Practice, 2019
This commentary reviews and summarises the strides which neuroscience has made in our present understanding of the development of literacy and numeracy in children. Specifically, it draws attention to key insights from studies which have elucidated the possible neural mechanisms that may account for difficulties in the development of these…

Church, Jessica A.; Cirino, Paul T.; Miciak, Jeremy; Juranek, Jenifer; Vaughn, Sharon; Fletcher, Jack M. – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2019
The role of executive function (EF) in the reading process, and in those with reading difficulties, remains unclear. As members of the Texas Center for Learning Disabilities, we review multiple perspectives regarding EF in reading and then summarize some of our recent studies of struggling and typical readers in grades 3-5. Study 1a found that a…

Skeide, Michael A.; Evans, Tanya M.; Mei, Edward Z.; Abrams, Daniel A.; Menon, Vinod – Developmental Science, 2018
Impaired abilities in multiple domains is common in children with learning difficulties. Co-occurrence of low reading and mathematical abilities (LRLM) appears in almost every second child with learning difficulties. However, little is known regarding the neural bases of this combination. Leveraging a unique and tightly controlled sample including…

Compton, Donald L.; Steacy, Laura M.; Petscher, Yaacov; Rueckl, Jay G.; Landi, Nicole; Pugh, Ken R. – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2019
The overarching goal of the new Florida State University/Haskins Laboratory/University of Connecticut Learning Disability (LD) Hub project is to align computational and behavioral theories of individual word reading development more closely with the challenges of learning to read a quasi-regular orthography (i.e., English) for both typically…

El Banna, Adel El Saied – International Journal of Psycho-Educational Sciences, 2019
This study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of multiple intelligences training program on reading comprehension skills of reading disabled primary six students. Pre-test / Post-test / follow-up test were formed to collect data from the students. 60 students participated in the present study. Each student participant met the following…

Peterson, Amy K.; Fox, Carly B.; Israelsen, Megan – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2020
Purpose: This systematic review synthesized a set of peer-reviewed studies published between 1985 and 2019 and addressed the effectiveness of existing narrative and expository discourse interventions for late elementary- and middle school-aged students with language-related learning disabilities. Method: A methodical search of the literature for…

Melekoglu, Macid Ayhan; Erden, H. Gülsen; Çakiroglu, Orhan – South African Journal of Education, 2021
Efforts to diagnose students with specific learning disabilities (SLD) have increased in recent years in Turkey. However, the limited number of assessment tools used to identify students with SLD is one of the most important concerns in this area, since 8 out of 10 students with SLD have difficulty in reading, which affects other academic areas.…

Powell, Sarah R.; Doabler, Christian T.; Akinola, Olayemi A.; Therrien, William J.; Maddox, Steven A.; Hess, Katherine E. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2020
In this synthesis, we reviewed 65 studies involving elementary students (i.e., grades 1-5) identified with mathematics difficulty (MD) in which authors implemented a mathematics intervention. Of these studies, we identified 33 group designs, 9 quasi-experimental designs, and 23 single-case designs. We aimed to synthesize performance differences…

Liu, Sisi; Wang, Li-Chih; Liu, Duo – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2019
The present study examined whether temporal processing (TP) is associated with reading of a non-alphabetic script, that is, Chinese. A total of 126 primary school-aged Chinese children from Taiwan (63 children with dyslexia) completed cross-modal, visual, and auditory temporal order judgment tasks and measures of Chinese reading and…

Hurst, KeShawn J. – Online Submission, 2018
This paper will examine the cognitive development. Specifically, it will include and inform others about the cognitive development of children with speech and language disabilities. In addition, it will be discussing the major factors of speech and language impairment and assistive technologies that can affect the students' academic performance
