Li-Chih Wang; Duo Liu; He-Hsiu Lin; Kevin Kien-Hoa Chung; Zhengye Xu – Exceptional Children, 2024
One of the most well-known instructional methods used to enhance Chinese character reading (CCR) is Chinese stem-deriving instruction (CSDI). In this method, CCR is taught via a group of characters (e.g., [foreign character omitted], [foreign character omitted], and [foreign character omitted]) that share the same stem (e.g., [foreign character…

Shin, Mikyung; Park, Jiyeon; Grimes, Rene; Bryant, Diane P. – Exceptional Children, 2021
We synthesized studies published since 2000 that assessed the effects of using virtual manipulatives to increase the mathematical accuracy of students with disabilities. We extracted a total of 1,796 raw data points from 114 cases across 35 single-case studies. By applying three-level multilevel modeling, we analyzed both immediate effects and…

Ennis, Robin Parks; Losinski, Mickey – Exceptional Children, 2019
Proficiency with fractions is one of the most significant predictors of later mathematics achievement. However, there are currently no meta-analyses that assess the literature base on fractions for students with or at risk for disabilities using quality indicators. We applied the 2014 Council for Exceptional Children Standards for Evidence-Based…

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…

Suhrheinrich, Jessica; Rieth, Sarah R.; Dickson, Kelsey S.; Stahmer, Aubyn C. – Exceptional Children, 2020
Classroom pivotal response teaching (CPRT) is an evidence-based practice (EBP) adapted for classroom use. A recent effectiveness trial of CPRT involved training 98 special education classrooms in Southern California. The Exploration, Planning, Implementation, and Sustainment (EPIS) conceptual framework illustrates the impact of inner- and…
