There are various benefits of having books at home as it supports cognitive growth to later succeed academically by enhancing literacy, numeracy and technological skills. However, there are not many studies examining the relationship between the number of books available at home and how it is affecting an individual's psychological well-being. The…

Early detection is key to intervening with students diagnosed with a specific learning disorder (SLD), which includes problems with spelling, grammar, punctuation, and clarity and organization of written expression, as a means of preventing potential negative consequences from this disorder. Deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) perform better…

The ability to read adequately is one of the most important skills for students to achieve during their school career. Unfortunately, a large number of children do not have adequate reading skills and thus may face problems in many respects throughout their lives. Children with learning disabilities (LD) and behavioral problems are particularly…

The purpose of this research was to develop guidelines for the production of an educational mobile application and to assess the opinions of its users (students and teachers). The study included 10 students with learning disabilities and 10 teachers from private special education rehabilitation clinics who work with them. Teachers were asked to…

The researcher conducted a qualitative case study of two sessions of a preservice teacher tutoring a student with a learning disability on Algebra 1 content. In this study, the focus was the tutor's use of gestures overlaid on the students' offloaded work on paper to help the student make sense of the problems. The student also demonstrated how…

Teachers often find themselves unprepared for inclusion, the practice of providing instruction and supports to students with learning disabilities and related special needs in general education classrooms. Research indicates many pre-service teachers have limited, if any, coursework to equip them with the necessary skills for inclusive classrooms.…

Schema-based instruction (SBI) is a word problem solving strategy that teaches students to identify problem types by focusing on the underlying structure of the mathematical situation. SBI is gaining an evidence-base for students with a specific learning disability; however, few experimental studies have evaluated the effects of SBI for students…

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of a peer network individualized intervention toward improving the social skills of three middle school high-functioning adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) without intellectual disability (ID). The intervention was based on the Circle Time program (Mosley & Tew, 2013), and it…

Access to high-quality resources is integral for educators to provide research-aligned mathematics instruction. Identifying the supplemental resources educators use to plan mathematics instruction can inform the ways researchers and organizations disseminate research-based practices. The goal of this study was to identify the frequency in which…

Interventions to support children with mathematical learning difficulties typically address deficits in domain-specific knowledge. However, not all students benefit from these instructional programs. In this case, some authors suggest an even more intensive instructional program combined with other factors assumed to be relevant for learning.…

Adolescents with specific learning disabilities face more challenges due to their poor academic performance, affecting the development of social skills and struggles in identity formation. This study examined the coping and perceived social support of adolescents with and without learning disabilities. This study also investigated the relationship…

This article investigates how students with mathematical difficulties (MD) differ from typically developing (TD) students in enumeration processes of small sets of objects (of 1 up to 9 dots). We present a study with 20 fifth-grade students of which ten were found to have MD in initial diagnostics. The students were supposed to exactly enumerate…

The researchers conducted a qualitative analysis of the perceptions of school personnel and pre-service teachers about an Algebra I tutoring program for students with learning disabilities. The researchers surveyed and interviewed the participants about the effectiveness of the program for the mathematics learning of the students with LD at the…

The researchers conducted a microanalysis of two purposefully sampled sessions of a tutor working with a student with a learning disability (LD) engaging with multi-step equations with and without fractions. During the tutoring sessions, the student experienced quick, independent success on equations without fractions, but struggled considerably…

Science includes a multitude of specialized terms that are not consistently taught using effective practices. Often, students with disabilities rely on ineffective strategies in order to memorize word definitions, which inhibits their science achievement. Using a counter-balanced design, we tested whether having access to multimedia videos that…
