Direct linkMaki, Kathrin E.; Burns, Matthew K.; Sullivan, Amanda L. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2018
Many school psychologists spend a large portion of their time conducting evaluations for special education, but school psychologists' confidence in learning disability (learning disability[ies] [LD]) identification has not been examined experimentally. This study examined differences in 376 school psychologists' confidence in their identification…

Hajovsky, Daniel B.; Maki, Kathrin E.; Chesnut, Steven R.; Barrett, Courtenay A.; Burns, Matthew K. – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2022
This study examined the extent to which cognitive ability index scores predicted multidisciplinary teams' (MDT) SLD identification within a response-to-intervention (RtI) method after accounting for RtI slope and norm-referenced achievement scores. Results showed that four achievement composite scores (i.e., basic reading, reading comprehension,…

Maki, Kathrin E.; Barrett, Courtenay A.; Hajovsky, Daniel B.; Burns, Matthew K. – School Psychology, 2020
Students with specific learning disabilities (SLDs) represent a large proportion of those receiving special education services in U.S. schools, but the relationship between student-level variables and SLD identification is still not well understood. The purpose of this study was to examine the extent to which data collected as part of a…

Maki, Kathrin E.; Burns, Matthew K.; Sullivan, Amanda – School Psychology Quarterly, 2017
Learning disability (LD) identification has long been controversial and has undergone substantive reform. This study examined the consistency of school psychologists' LD identification decisions across three identification methods and across student evaluation data conclusiveness levels. Data were collected from 376 practicing school psychologists…

Maki, Kathrin E.; Ittner, Anne; Pulles, Sandra M.; Burns, Matthew K.; Helman, Lori; McComas, Jennifer J. – Contemporary School Psychology, 2022
Multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS) provide instruction and intervention to all students in schools. However, when many students within a setting demonstrate reading difficulties, there is likely a tier 1 problem which makes it infeasible to implement tier 2 or tier 3 interventions with large numbers of students due to limited resources. The…

Barrett, Courtenay A.; Burns, Matthew K.; Maki, Kathrin E.; Clinkscales, Andryce; Hajovsky, Daniel B.; Spear, Shelbie E. – School Psychology, 2022
Despite decades of research, much is still unknown regarding how specific learning disability (SLD) identification decisions are made, particularly how language related to sociodemographic and psychosocial factors may impact decision-making. This study employed the Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) method to examine the language used in…

Burns, Matthew K.; Maki, Kathrin E.; Brann, Kristy L.; McComas, Jennifer J.; Helman, Lori A. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2020
This study compared the reading growth of students with and without learning disabilities, and students with and without reading deficits in response to tier 2 reading interventions within a response-to-intervention framework. Participants were 499 second- and third-grade students in six urban schools. Students who scored at or below the 10th…

Burns, Matthew K.; Maki, Kathrin E.; Helman, Lori; McComas, Jennifer J.; Young, Helen – Reading & Writing Quarterly, 2018
Phonemic awareness (PA) includes rhyming, phoneme isolation, blending, and segmenting, but the relative importance of each component is unclear, especially for students from high-poverty areas. The current study examined the relationship between components of PA and an early literacy measure among 192 kindergarten students from high-poverty urban…

Burns, Matthew K.; Maki, Kathrin E.; Karich, Abbey C.; Coolong-Chaffin, Melissa – Learning Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2017
The current study used a multiple-baseline design to examine the effect of providing performance feedback on comprehension strategy use and reading comprehension. The participants were four seventh grade students with comprehension difficulties. The students were taught the reciprocal teaching comprehension strategies of generating questions,…

Burns, Matthew K.; Davidson, Katherine; Zaslofsky, Anne F.; Parker, David C.; Maki, Kathrin E. – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2018
The amount of information that students successfully learn and later recall from each intervention session is limited and is called the acquisition rate (AR). Research has consistently supported the effects of modifying intervention set sizes with AR data, but research with AR is in its infancy. The current study compared the relationship between…

Burns, Matthew K.; Barrett, Courtenay A.; Maki, Kathrin E.; Hajovsky, Daniel B.; Duesenberg, McKinzie D.; Romero, Monica E. – Contemporary School Psychology, 2020
School psychological reports of evaluation results have the potential to provide data that are timely, synthesized, and interpreted and could include recommendations for evidence-based interventions and accommodations for improving student outcomes. The current study examined 130 school psychological reports from 13 school districts and found that…

Burns, Matthew K.; Zaslofsky, Anne F.; Maki, Kathrin E.; Kwong, Elena – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2016
Incremental rehearsal (IR) has consistently led to effective retention of newly learned material, including math facts. The number of new items taught during one intervention session, called the intervention set, could be used to individualize the intervention. The appropriate amount of information that a student can rehearse and later recall…

Karich, Abbey C.; Burns, Matthew K.; Maki, Kathrin E. – Review of Educational Research, 2014
Giving a student control over their learning has theoretical and intuitive appeal, but its effects are neither powerful nor consistent in the empirical literature base. This meta-analysis updated previous meta-analytic research by Niemiec, Sikorski, and Walberg by studying the overall effectiveness of providing learner control within educational…
