Charlton, Beryl; Williams, Randy Lee; McLaughlin, T. F.
International Journal of Special Education, v20 n2 p66-72 2005
This study evaluated the effects of educational games on the performance of eight elementary school students with learning disabilities. The effects of educational games were evaluated in a multiple baseline design across students. The results indicated that each student improved their performance on reading when educational games were in effect. These differences were also educationally significant. Practical considerations and implications of educational games for adoption in the classroom were discussed.
