Twenty-two years ago, the National Reading Panel (2000) released a research synthesis of effective reading practices for classroom instruction. The first is phonemic awareness. The others are phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. This study examined the connection of assessment for kindergarten through second-grade students in the…

The purpose of this study was to build on the Nebraska study by conducting a national survey of Teachers of Students with Visual Impairments (TSVIs). The survey included questions about teacher preparation, beliefs about their role in supporting writing, the modes they report using with students, and the proportion of writing practices they use…

Inclusive post-secondary education (IPSE) programs for students with intellectual disability are growing rapidly, yet demand still outweighs the availability of programs. To increase the success and sustainability of IPSE, universities must understand stakeholders' perceptions of inclusion. The "Perspectives of Diversity and Inclusion…

This discussion will argue that Initial Teacher Education (ITE) for students planning to teach in Further Education (FE), which includes schools, colleges and training providers for learners aged 14+, should be revised to encourage ITE students to view their own approach to inclusion through the framework of American philosopher Nussbaum's…

As mandated by federal law, all students with a disability who qualify for special education and related services must be provided a free appropriate public education (FAPE).

During the interviews, geometric shapes were presented with raised-line materials and blind students were given opportunities to construct geometric shapes with…

Parent-focused intervention for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has garnered considerable evidence of effectiveness for treating core symptoms of the disorder. However, these programs often teach parents discrete skills that may or may not align with school-based interventions. Family-school partnerships (FSPs) are essential for…

Children often answer questions when they do not have the requisite knowledge or when they do not understand them. We examined whether "ground rules" instruction--to say "I don't know," to tell the truth, and to correct the interviewer when necessary--assisted children in applying those rules during an interview about a past…
