Our study reviewed the impact of the COVID-19-induced learning disabilities on student academic performance and…

Since its inception, a premise of special education has been to provide students with disabilities with an appropriate education. The interpretation of "appropriate" has evolved across eras of special education. For students with learning disabilities, emphases on inclusion and high-stakes achievement have eroded the intention of FAPE.…

One of the central missions of career counselling in higher education is to promote diversity, making the helping process more accessible and effective for students with special needs. With this goal in mind, some key issues pertaining to the career development needs and challenges of young university students with learning disabilities (LDs) are…

In this paper, we make a case for the importance of teaching secondary school level algebra to students with learning disabilities (LD). Furthermore, we illustrate how they struggle and present best-practices on how they are best supported. We demonstrate effective ways of how teachers can show students with LD how to solve challenging algebra…

This article presents a meta-analysis on cognitive (e.g., academic performance) and psychosocial outcomes (e.g., self-concept, well-being) among students with general learning difficulties and their peers without learning difficulties in inclusive versus segregated educational settings. In total, we meta-analyzed k = 40 studies with 428 effect…

The researcher conducted a qualitative case study of two sessions of a preservice teacher tutoring a student with a learning disability on Algebra 1 content. In this study, the focus was the tutor's use of gestures overlaid on the students' offloaded work on paper to help the student make sense of the problems. The student also demonstrated how…

Danielson's Framework for Teaching (FFT) is currently used in more than 20 states to inform teacher evaluation and professional learning. To investigate whether FFT promotes instruction that appropriately responds to the needs of students with learning disabilities, we conduct a systematic content analysis of the instructional approach emphasized…

This study aimed to adapt the "Teaching Students With Disabilities Self-Efficacy Scale" for contemporary school counseling practice. The adaptation, titled the "Students With Learning Disabilities School Counselor Self-Efficacy Scale," is a resource that assesses school counselors' belief in their ability to counsel and support…

Stereotype threat can negatively impact marginalized groups. Over the past three decades, researchers have documented that stereotype threat affects people in learning and testing performance (Aronson & Steele, 2005; Good et al., 2003; Rydell et al., 2011; Steele & Aronson, 1995; Steele et al., 2002). While some research has focused on the…

Supporting a child with a disability can cause increased parental stress, complicate school-home relationships, and negatively influence parents' self-efficacy. Given the diverse and unique characteristics associated with specific…

This study evaluated the effects of the "Super Solvers" Tier II fraction intervention program on the algebra and fraction skills of secondary students with mathematics learning disabilities and consistent low achievement in mathematics. A quasi-experimental group design was used to evaluate the performance of the treatment and control…

The purpose of this qualitative descriptive study was to clarify how high incident learning disabled (HILD) college students describe the ways that their high school's transition services provided knowledge, skill-building, accommodations, and course alternatives to them to support their transition to post-secondary. The theoretical foundations…

Teachers with high self-efficacy and high expectations for students create conditions for enhanced student learning and enhanced student self-efficacy. Conversely, teachers with low self-efficacy and low expectations for students create conditions that limit or restrict student learning and weaken student self-efficacy. Teachers often have lower…

Learning disabilities are the most common eligibility category in which children qualify for special education services. Despite this, there is surprisingly little current information on the prevalence and needs of children with math disabilities, and even less information on interventions to support children in schools. This dissertation aimed to…

Background: People with learning disabilities have the right to choose where they live. However, evidence suggests people's choices are limited due to a shortage of housing. Methods: 200 Lives was a mixed methods research project, which evaluated supported living and residential care for people with learning disabilities in England; 107 people…
