As the number of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) increases, the need for well trained teachers who can implement behavior interventions also increases. The current study examines the available research to determine which methods of training are most effective in increasing teacher fidelity to implement behavior…

Latino/x families experience barriers when navigating and accessing special education (SPED) services. Previous research has identified some of these barriers that Latino/x families encounter and facilitators to provide support for a positive SPED experience (Rios & Burke, 2020). The purpose of this study is to continue the investigation of…

Listening comprehension and retelling are essential skills for academic success. However, students with learning disabilities experience difficulties in both areas, which can negatively affect their academic achievement. It is noteworthy that the relevant literature includes only a limited number of studies examining the correlation between these…

In their pursuits of feeling successful, autistic college students may turn to several sources and tools. Until now, however, we largely have not understood what most matters to them. Stemming from a national study of autistic college student success, this paper explores the role of faculty members as a major piece of students' feelings of…

This basic qualitative study was an exploration of the successful approaches that a sample of elementary school principals used to support collaboration between special education teachers and general education teachers to ensure an inclusive educational (IE) environment for students with disabilities (SWD). This study may help to close the gap in…

Curriculum-based measures (CBMs), which allow educators to monitor progress over time and make instructional decisions based on student performance, represent a fixture of general approaches to reading and data-based instructional frameworks. However, evidence supporting the use of CBM for students with intellectual disabilities is limited. This…

Single-case comparative studies could help identify efficient instructional procedures for individuals with disabilities. However, previous literature reported inconsistent efficiency results if multiple comparisons were conducted, indicating that within-participant replication was uncommon. In this review, we examined single-case comparative…

The plastination technique produces non-toxic human tissues, ensuring their safe handling in educational settings. This investigation aimed to understand if visually impaired students profit from the use of plastinated anatomical specimens in learning the anatomy of the nervous system. For this purpose, their learning performance was compared to…

The implementation of inclusive education especially for special needs students in primary school during teaching in the classroom must strive for non-discrimination, recognition from all parties to all participants of learning, provide facilities and a safe environment for each child. The design of this study is a combination of sequential…

However, public opinion about inclusive education is rarely uniform and often unsupportive. While public support for placing pupils with special needs in regular classes is…

Research has shown that students with disabilities are more likely to maintain a lower social participation status than their peers. One aspect of social participation is the social relationships between these students and their peers. This study examined the friendship and hang out networks of students with and without disabilities in a highly…

Since the Individualized Education Program (IEP) meeting is so important both to a student's progress and educational growth as well as the school's legal obligations, it is imperative that researchers work to understand parent perceptions of Individualized Education Program meetings (Fish, 2006). Family participation and advocacy are also…

The purpose of this quantitative, ex post facto study was to determine to what extent, if any, there were differences in ELA achievement and OSS percentages among schools with grades 3, 4, and 5 that used literacy station instruction (LSI) with students who had individualized education plans (IEP) and schools that did not use literacy station…

Experiences are the impressions developed through gaining, using, fostering, and sometimes disposing of a service or product. Recent years have shown an ongoing emphasis placed on experiences and their impacts; one of particular interest for this study are the experiences of para-collegiate student-athletes. Using the Experience Type Framework…

Twenty-five years ago, the author contributed a historical review of evidence on the foreign language (FL) learning problems of low-achieving and learning disabled (LD) students. Educators had proposed a new disability, FL learning disability, and developed policies permitting LD students to substitute courses or waive the FL requirement. The…
