Amber Y. Wang; Lynn S. Fuchs; Kristopher J. Preacher; Douglas Fuchs; Amelia S. Malone; Rachel Pachmayr – Grantee Submission, 2019
The study has two primary purposes. The first was to examine the efficacy of the "Super Solvers" Fractions Intervention (SSFI) for third-grade students at risk for mathematics learning disabilities (MLD). The second was to test the added value of embedding self-regulation instruction into the SSFI. Students were randomly assigned to a…

Lynn S. Fuchs; Amelia S. Malone; Kristopher J. Preacher; Douglas Fuchs; Amber Y. Wang; Rachel Pachmayr – Grantee Submission, 2019
The purposes of this study were twofold. The first was to test the efficacy of two versions of the "Super Solvers" (SS) intervention for fourth- and fifth-grade students at-risk for mathematics learning disabilities (MLD). The second was to test the value of adding an error analysis component to the SS intervention. Students were…

Swanson, H. Lee; Moran, Amber S.; Bocian, Kathleen; Lussier, Cathy; Zheng, Xinhua – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2013
This study investigated the role of generative strategies and working memory capacity on word problem solving accuracy in children with math difficulties (MD). Within classrooms, children in Grade 3 with MD ("n" = 69) were randomly assigned to one of three treatment conditions: paraphrase question propositions (Restate), paraphrase…

Swanson, H. Lee; Orosco, Michael J.; Lussier, Cathy M. – Exceptional Children, 2014
This study investigated the role of strategy instruction on solution accuracy in children with and without serious math difficulties (MD) in problem solving. Children's posttest solution accuracy was compared on standardized and experimental measures as a function of strategy conditions. Strategy conditions included curriculum materials that…
