Steacy, Laura M.; Edwards, Ashley A.; Rigobon, Valeria M.; Gutiérrez, Nuria; Marencin, Nancy C.; Siegelman, Noam; Himelhoch, Alexandra C.; Himelhoch, Cristina; Rueckl, Jay; Compton, Donald L. – Reading Research Quarterly, 2023
Quasiregular orthographies such as English contain substantial ambiguities between orthography and phonology that force developing readers to acquire flexibility during decoding of unfamiliar words, a skill referred to as a "set for variability" (SfV). The ease with which a child can disambiguate the mismatch between the decoded form of…

Frangenberg, Yemina; Grünke, Matthias; Bracht, Janine; Jochims, Alina; Barwasser, Anne; Hord, Casey – Insights into Learning Disabilities, 2023
This study examined the impact of journals that focus on supporting individuals with learning disabilities (LDs). We analyzed the visibility of 360 articles that appeared in seven scholarly outlets (ILD, IJRLD, JLD, LDCJ, LDMJ, LDQ, and LDRP) over a one-year period (2022). Using a two-year Google-based Journal Impact Factor (two-year GJIF), the…

Wendy S. Cochrane; Brandon J. Wood – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2025
This study examined intervention fidelity (IF) and the extent to which this essential feature of response to intervention (RtI) was included within artifacts (laws and guidance documents) for states requiring RtI for specific learning disability (SLD) identification. Intervention fidelity is defined as the degree to which an intervention is…

Home literacy environment (HLE) refers to children's exposure to and engagement in reading-related activities in the home. Although HLE is known to be related to successful early reading achievement in general, less is known about this relation for students with learning disabilities (LDs). We investigated the relation between HLE and reading…

Courtney Tolbert; Deborah K. Reed; Ryan Hall; David E. Houchins – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2025
Handwriting difficulties may signal dysgraphia or other writing difficulties that can affect literacy performance. Existing instruments measure different handwriting features to identify students for interventions but can take extra testing time and restrict potential indicators appropriate for evaluating adolescents. This exploratory study aimed…

Li-Chih Wang; Kevin Kien-Hoa Chung; Rong-An Jhuo – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2025
Processing efficiency theory can explain the relationship between anxiety and academic success; however, its application to adults with Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD) remains unclear, especially in a nonalphabetic language, such as Chinese. This study investigated the effects of working memory and processing speed on the relationships…

Jonna M. Blanck; Laura Menze; Lena Nusser – European Journal of Special Needs Education, 2025
We analysed the long-term consequences of inclusive versus segregated educational settings for students with special educational needs in the area of learning (SEN-L, formerly 'learning disability') in Germany. We focused on the consequences of educational settings on subjective well-being (SWB) measured as general life satisfaction five to six…
