Root, Jenny R.; Cox, Sarah K.; McConomy, M. Addie – Research and Practice for Persons with Severe Disabilities, 2022
A growing body of literature supports the effectiveness of Modified Schema-Based Instruction (MSBI) to improve mathematical problem-solving for students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and intellectual disability (ID). MSBI is an intervention package that teaches students to identify the problem structure and use a problem-solving heuristic to…

Cox, Sarah K.; Root, Jenny R.; Goetz, Kiersten; Taylor, Kaley – Education and Training in Autism and Developmental Disabilities, 2021
Mathematics education highlights the importance of helping students understand mathematical content and the ability to think critically about mathematics. Mathematical practice standards outline expectations for engaging students in meaningful mathematics activities to encourage a deep understanding of mathematical concepts and content. For some…

Root, Jenny R.; Ingelin, Bonnie; Cox, Sarah K. – Education and Training in Autism and Developmental Disabilities, 2021
This systematic review provides a synthesis of intervention research that taught mathematical word problem solving skills to students with autism spectrum disorder between 1975 and April of 2020 by evaluating the body of research in terms of "what works", "for whom" and "under what conditions". The Council for…

Cox, Sarah K.; Root, Jenny R. – Exceptional Children, 2021
The Common Core State Standards for Mathematics highlight the importance of not only content standards for mathematics but also mathematical practices such as communication, representation, and reasoning, skills that are often difficult for students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Through a single-case multiple-probe-across-participants…

Cox, Sarah K.; Root, Jenny R. – Remedial and Special Education, 2020
The Common Core State Standards in Mathematics outline both the content and practices students must engage in at each grade level to become mathematically proficient. Mathematical processes include problem solving, reasoning and proof, communication, and procedural fluency, which includes flexible thinking. The purpose of this study was to…

Root, Jenny R.; Cox, Sarah K.; Davis, Kat; Hammons, Nanette – Research and Practice for Persons with Severe Disabilities, 2020
Replication research provides evidence to establish, refute, or support evidence-based practices. Systematic replications are also necessary to determine "what works for whom when." The purpose of this study was to conduct a conceptual systematic replication to evaluate the effectiveness of a multicomponent treatment package on…

Root, Jenny R.; Cox, Sarah K.; Gonzalez, Stephanie – Research and Practice for Persons with Severe Disabilities, 2019
Data analysis inherently requires problem solving, yet it is the most understudied mathematical skill for individuals with extensive support needs. The current study taught elementary students with extensive support needs (i.e., autism and intellectual disability) to solve math word problems requiring analysis of scaled pictographs through…
