Jitendra, Asha Kiron; Im, Soo-hyun – Learning Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2019
The present study summarized three studies of schema-based instruction (SBI), a research-based Tier 1 mathematics program implemented in general education classrooms. We evaluated the efficacy of SBI in improving the mathematics achievement of seventh-grade students, including students with or at risk for mathematics disabilities (MD). The three…

Namkung, Jessica; Fuchs, Lynn – Learning Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2019
Competence with fractions is foundational to acquiring more advanced mathematical skills. However, achieving competency with fractions is challenging for many students, especially for those with mathematics learning difficulties who often lack foundational skill with whole numbers. Teaching fractions is also challenging for many teachers as they…

Powell, Sarah R.; Stevens, Elizabeth A.; Berry, Katherine A. – Learning Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2019
Word problems require students to read a language-based problem, identify necessary information to answer a prompt, and perform calculation(s) to develop a problem solution. Solving word problems proves particularly challenging for students with mathematics difficulties because skill in reading, interpretation of language, and mathematics are…

Bouck, Emily C.; Bouck, Mary K.; Joshi, Gauri S.; Johnson, Linley – Learning Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2016
Students with learning disabilities struggle with word problems in mathematics classes. Understanding the type of errors students make when working through such mathematical problems can further describe student performance and highlight student difficulties. Through the use of error codes, researchers analyzed the type of errors made by 14 sixth…

Krawec, Jennifer; Steinberg, Marissa – Learning Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2019
Opportunities for students to learn mathematics through innovative, authentic experiences in an inquiry-based instructional approach have become much more common for students in regular and advanced math classes. Yet, the same cannot be said for students with learning disabilities. One of the primary reasons is that key tenets of the inquiry…

Lambert, Rachel; Chun, Mina; Davis, Jessie; Ceja, Kay Lynn; Aguilar, Katie; Moran, Pauline; Manset, Lindsey – Learning Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2019
Educational research undervalues the experiences of people with disabilities, including those with learning disabilities and/or dyslexia, whom we call "insiders." In this study, we examined narratives pertaining to schooling from published memoirs and/or interviews with 30 insiders with learning disabilities or dyslexia. First, we…

Koriakin, Taylor A.; McCurdy, Mark D.; Pritchard, Alison E.; Zabel, T. Andrew; Jacobson, Lisa A. – Learning Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2019
The present study examined clinical utility of teacher ratings on the Colorado Learning Difficulties Questionnaire (CLDQ) learning difficulties screening within a referred, school-aged sample (N=519, 5-18 years). Of this sample, 419 youth had CLDQ reading scale scores from a reading or general education teacher, and 338 had CLDQ math scale ratings…

Bone, Erin Kae; Bouck, Emily C. – Learning Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2018
Students with disabilities often struggle with grade-level mathematics without appropriate support and accommodations. This study compared the performance of middle school students with disabilities on computational-based mathematics assessments when they had access to calculators and when they did not. Using a single-case ABAB design, data were…
