Students with learning disabilities (LD) experience pervasive academic deficits requiring extensive academic intervention; however, they may also engage in problem behaviors that adversely affect teaching and learning, thus lessening the potential impact of specialized instruction and supports. The learning deficits of students with LD are…

McMaster, Kristen L.; Espin, Christine A.; van den Broek, Paul – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2014
Many studies have demonstrated the efficacy of reading comprehension interventions for struggling readers, including students with learning disabilities. Yet, some readers continue to struggle with comprehension despite receiving these interventions. In this article, we argue that an explicit link between cognitive psychology and intervention…

Krawec, Jennifer; Montague, Marjorie – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2014
The purpose of this article is to offer teacher training and professional development recommendations in mathematics based on the findings of a federally funded 3-year intervention study that improved the problem solving of middle school students with a focus on students with learning disabilities. Over the 3-year project, 29 seventh and eighth…

Moran, Amber S.; Swanson, H. Lee; Gerber, Michael M.; Fung, Wenson – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2014
The purpose of this study was to examine effectiveness of paraphrasing interventions on mathematics word problem-solving accuracy in third grade children (N = 72) at risk for mathematics disabilities (MD). Three instructional conditions directed students' attention through paraphrasing, via writing, to different propositions within word…

Rouse, Christina A.; Alber-Morgan, Sheila R.; Cullen, Jennifer M.; Sawyer, Mary – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2014
Students with LD who struggle with reading comprehension can benefit from instruction on how to read strategically. One strategy that has been demonstrated to increase reading comprehension is self-questioning. In this study, two fifth graders with LD were taught to self-generate questions using a prompt fading procedure. The participants were…

Spencer, Mercedes; Quinn, Jamie M.; Wagner, Richard K. – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2014
The goal of the present study was to test three competing hypotheses about the nature of comprehension problems of students who are poor in reading comprehension. Participants in the study were first, second, and third graders, totaling nine cohorts and over 425,000 participants in all. The pattern of results was consistent across all cohorts:…

Kingsdorf, Sheri; Krawec, Jennifer – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2014
Solving word problems is a common area of struggle for students with learning disabilities (LD). In order for instruction to be effective, we first need to have a clear understanding of the specific errors exhibited by students with LD during problem solving. Error analysis has proven to be an effective tool in other areas of math but has had…

Vaughn, Sharon; Wanzek, Jeanne – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2014
We use three data sources to build a rationale for why intensive interventions are necessary for students with pervasive reading disabilities: current data on the performance of students with disabilities on reading achievement measures over time, observation studies on students with reading disabilities in general and special education…

Flores, Margaret M.; Hinton, Vanessa M.; Schweck, Kelly B. – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2014
The Common Core Standards require demonstration of conceptual knowledge of numbers, operations, and relations between mathematical concepts. Supplemental instruction should explicitly guide students with specific learning disabilities (SLD) in these skills. In this article, we illustrate implementation of the concrete-representational-abstract…

Doren, Bonnie; Murray, Christopher; Gau, Jeff M. – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2014
The purpose of this study was to identify the unique contributions of a comprehensive set of predictors and the most salient predictors of school dropout among a nationally representative sample of students with learning disabilities (LD). A comprehensive set of theoretically and empirically relevant factors was selected for examination. Analyses…

Gonsalves, Nicola; Krawec, Jennifer – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2014
Students with learning disabilities (LD) consistently struggle with word problem solving in mathematics classes. This difficulty has made curricular, state, and national tests particularly stressful, as word problem solving has become a predominant feature of such student performance assessments. Research suggests that students with LD perform…

O'Connor, Rollanda E.; Bocian, Kathleen M.; Beach, Kristen D.; Sanchez, Victoria; Flynn, Lindsay J. – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2013
This 4-year longitudinal research was designed to study special education determinations of students who participated in Tier 2 intervention in a Response to Intervention (RtI) model focused on reading across Grades 1-4. We compared identification rates for learning disabilities (LD) and student characteristics of 381 students the year prior to…

Revising Strategy Instruction in Inclusive Settings: Effects for English Learners and Novice Writers
De La Paz, Susan; Sherman, Cindy K. – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2013
Twenty-three students with varying academic and linguistic profiles were taught a strategy for revising expository essays, using the Self-Regulated Strategy Development model for instruction. Students learned basic revising tactics and to consider text structure as they managed decisions on how to improve their essays. Instructional effects were…

Ciullo, Stephen; Reutebuch, Colleen – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2013
This article presents a systematic review of the literature for studies that utilized computer-based graphic organizers for students with learning disabilities. A comprehensive search yielded 12 studies that were coded and analyzed. The authors investigated the effectiveness of the treatments on academic outcomes, and selected integral…
