Principles for the Prevention and Intervention of Mathematics Difficulties.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Fuchs, Lynn S.; Fuchs, Douglas – Learning Disabilities: Research & Practice, 2001
This article identifies and discusses principles of prevention and intervention in the area of mathematics. Three levels of prevention and intervention are addressed: primary prevention focusing on universal design, secondary prevention focusing on adaptations, and tertiary prevention focusing on intensive and explicit contextualization of…

Helping Teachers Formulate Sound Test Accommodation Decisions for Students with Learning Disabilities.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Fuchs, Lynn S.; Fuchs, Douglas – Learning Disabilities: Research & Practice, 2001
A data-based approach is introduced as an alternative way to help teachers formulate decisions about the validity of test accommodations for students with learning disabilities. Three rationales for the approach are provided: an inadequate research base to guide decision-making, student heterogeneity, and problems with teacher's use of subjective…

Responsiveness-to-Intervention: Definitions, Evidence, and Implications for the Learning Disabilities Construct.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Fuchs, Douglas; Mock, Devery; Morgan, Paul L.; Young, Caresa L. – Learning Disabilities: Research & Practice, 2003
This article describes the two basic versions of the responsiveness-to-intervention (RTI) approach for identifying learning disabilities, the problem solving model and the standard-protocol approach. It reviews evidence on effectiveness and feasibility and concludes that more needs to be understood before RTI may be viewed as a valid…

Effects of Cooperative Learning on the Academic Achievement of Students with Learning Disabilities: An Update of Tateyama-Sniezek's Review.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
McMaster, Kristen Nyman; Fuchs, Douglas – Learning Disabilities: Research & Practice, 2002
This article reviews 15 research studies published from 1990 to 2000 examining effects of cooperative learning strategies on the academic achievement of students with learning disabilities. Despite design problems, the review finds that cooperative learning strategies that incorporate individual accountability and group rewards are likely to…

Explicitly Teaching for Transfer: Effects on the Mathematical Problem-Solving Performance of Students with Mathematics Disabilities.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Fuchs, Lynn S.; Fuchs, Douglas; Hamlett, Carol L.; Appleton, Amanda C. – Learning Disabilities: Research & Practice, 2002
A small-group mathematical problem-solving tutorial treatment with explicit instruction including transfer to novel problems was evaluated with 40 students. On word problems and transfer word problems, tutoring effected reliably stronger growth, although effects on real-world problem solving, while moderate to large, were not statistically…
