Grünke, Matthias; Barwasser, Anne; Bell, Linda; Wasko, Lilian; Connelly, Vincent – Learning Disabilities: A Contemporary Journal, 2023
Fractions are an integral part of the mathematics curriculum. Most students acquire proficiency with these concepts during the course of their elementary education and are usually able to perform basic fractions operations when reaching middle-school age. However, a considerable number of students require extra help to not fall further and further…

Nelson, Gena; Johnson, Andrea; Sawyer, Mali – Learning Disabilities: A Contemporary Journal, 2022
Treatment acceptability is an aspect of social validity that refers to participants' beliefs and perceptions about the intervention, such as the helpfulness of the strategies or the interventions' efficacy to improve performance. The purpose of this study was to conduct a systematic review of treatment acceptability measures administered during…

Morin, Lisa L.; Agrawal, Jugnu – Learning Disabilities: A Contemporary Journal, 2022
The purpose of this article was to evaluate the quality of research studies and the evidence base for algebra instruction for secondary students with learning disabilities (LD) from 2000 to 2020. We evaluated the quality of methodological rigor of a total of eight single subject and three group design research studies using the 2014 Council for…

Kim, Soo Jung; Xin, Yan Ping – Learning Disabilities: A Contemporary Journal, 2022
We conducted a comprehensive synthesis of computer-assisted instruction (CAI) research that aimed to facilitate the learning of mathematical word problem solving involving elementary and secondary school students with learning disabilities or difficulties in mathematics. We examined a total of 13 studies under the four instructional categories:…

Young, Murphy K.; Rouse, Amy Gillespie; Datchuk, Shawn – Learning Disabilities: A Contemporary Journal, 2022
This scoping review provides a comprehensive overview of available experimental research on writing interventions for K-12 students with learning disabilities (LD). After conducting a systematic search across multiple databases, journals, and previous meta-analyses, we located a total of 194 studies. Each study included in this review met the…

Reed, Deborah K. – Learning Disabilities: A Contemporary Journal, 2022
This conceptual paper addresses fluency instruction and assessment for students with or at risk for reading disabilities. Although a multidimensional construct, fluency tests more often have been limited to measuring students' reading rate and accuracy. The reasons for this are explained as well as how fluency tests have influenced classroom…

Bone, Erin; Bouck, Emily; Witmer, Sara – Learning Disabilities: A Contemporary Journal, 2021
It is imperative teachers use evidence-based practices to instruct all learners. Yet, there are limited reviews focused on educational practices to support secondary students with learning disabilities in algebra. This evidence-based systematic review focused on research published in peer review journals between 1999 and 2019. Eighteen studies…

Deshpande, Divya S.; Riccomini, Paul J.; Hughes, Elizabeth M.; Raulston, Tracy J. – Learning Disabilities: A Contemporary Journal, 2021
While school performance suggests students with learning disabilities require intervention to demonstrate mathematics proficiency, little is known about how they approach problem solving in secondary geometry. Think aloud protocols highlight the higher order thinking skills underlying complex academic tasks. We conducted an exploratory descriptive…

Knaak, Turid; Grünke, Matthias; Barwasser, Anne – Learning Disabilities: A Contemporary Journal, 2021
The English language plays a major role around the world, making it important to learn English in order to participate and communicate in our globalized age. Adequate foreign language (L2) skills are important for everyday life and can even enhance performance in one's first language (L1). A growing number of very heterogeneous classrooms make it…

Mor, Nuriel Shalom; Dardeck, Kathryn – Learning Disabilities: A Contemporary Journal, 2021
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…

Hord, Casey – Learning Disabilities: A Contemporary Journal, 2021
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…

Duchaine, Ellen L.; Reynosa, Raymond J.; Garza, Rubén – Learning Disabilities: A Contemporary Journal, 2021
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.…

Hord, Casey; DeJarnette, Anna F. – Learning Disabilities: A Contemporary Journal, 2020
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…

Hord, Casey; Ladrigan, Emily; Saldanha, Rene L. – Learning Disabilities: A Contemporary Journal, 2020
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…
