A Follow-Up of Mathematics Interventions for Secondary Students with Learning Disabilities
Maccini, Paula; Mulcahy, Candace A.; Wilson, Michael G.
Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, v22 n1 p58-74 Feb 2007
This article extends a previous review of the literature (Maccini & Hughes, 1997) on mathematics interventions for secondary school students with learning disabilities (LD). A systematic review of the literature from 1995 to 2006 yielded 23 articles that met the criteria for inclusion. It was determined that a number of practices demonstrated significant gains for secondary school students with LD in math, including mnemonic strategy instruction, graduated instructional approach, cognitive strategy instruction involving planning, schema-based instruction, and contextualized videodisc instruction. We also discuss the nature and focus of math interventions and implications for both research and practice based on the findings.
