Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Martin, BrittanyLee N.; Fuchs, Lynn S. – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2022
The first purpose of this study was to examine the prevalence of risk for comorbid reading and mathematics disabilities (RMD) at start of first grade, when measured in a representative sample of 3,062 students with first-grade fluency measures (word reading; computation). The second purpose was to examine the utility of these measures for…

Cirino, Paul T.; Fuchs, Lynn S.; Elias, John T.; Powell, Sarah R.; Schumacher, Robin F. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2015
The purpose of this study was to compare subgroups of students with various forms of learning difficulties (< 25th percentile) on cognitive and mathematics characteristics. Students with mathematics difficulty (MD, n = 105), reading difficulty (RD, n = 65), both (MDRD, n = 87), or neither (NoLD, n = 403) were evaluated on an array of cognitive…

Fuchs, Lynn S.; Powell, Sarah R.; Seethaler, Pamela M.; Fuchs, Douglas; Hamlett, Carol L.; Cirino, Paul T.; Fletcher, Jack M. – Exceptional Children, 2010
This article introduces a framework for the remediation of number combination (NC) deficits. Research on the remediation of NC deficits is summarized, and research program studies are used to illustrate the 3 approaches to remediation. The Framework comprises a 2-stage system of remediation. The less intensive stage implementing 1 of 3…

Effects of Goal and Test-Taking Strategies on the Computation Performance of Students with Learning Disabilities.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Whinnery, Keith W.; Fuchs, Lynn S. – Learning Disabilities Research and Practice, 1993
This study, involving 40 students (grades 2-8) with learning disabilities, found that students who participated in curriculum-based measurement test-taking strategy training scored higher on a posttreatment computation test than students without the strategy training. Use of a goal strategy did not result in any achievement differences.…

The Effects of Summer Break on Math Skills of Learning Disabled and Low-Achieving Students.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Allinder, Rose M.; Fuchs, Lynn S. – B.C. Journal of Special Education, 1991
Effects of a summer break on the math computation skills of students in grades five through seven classified as either learning disabled or nonspecial education low achievers were investigated. Results indicated that only fifth grade low-achieving students regressed significantly following a summer break. (Author/JDD)

Effects of Goal Structures and Performance Contingencies on the Math Performance of Adolescents with Learning Disabilities.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Fuchs, Lynn S.; And Others – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1989
A study assessed the effects of assigned versus self-selected goals and contingent versus non-contingent gameplay conditions delivered during computer-assisted math computation drill-and-practice sessions. Subjects were 20 high-school students with learning disabilities. Self-selected goals were more effective; no differences existed between…
