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…

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…

Boon, Richard T.; Urton, Karolina; Gru¨nke, Matthias; Rux, Thomas A. – Learning Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2019
This narrative review provides an overview of the research literature on the effectiveness of mnemonics in mathematics instruction for students with learning disabilities in a K-12 classroom. Eleven studies were identified in refereed journal articles and doctoral dissertations from 1975 to December 2018 that met the inclusion criteria. Overall…

Hord, Casey; Xin, Yan Ping – Learning Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2013
The authors completed a narrative review of studies of mathematics interventions from 1996 to 2010 for helping elementary school students with difficulties in mathematics solve word problems. Key instructional
components supported by research are teaching cognitive and metacognitive skills; schema-based instruction focusing on semantic analysis,…

Woodward, John – Learning Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2013
This article reviews recent research in math problem solving for students with learning disabilities. Two recently published syntheses of research on mathematics by the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) are used as frameworks for interpreting this body of work. A significant amount of the work in special education over the last decade is…

Jitendra, Asha K.; Corroy, Kelly Cozine; Dupuis, Danielle N. – Learning Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2013
The purposes of this study were (a) to evaluate differences in arithmetic word problem solving between high and low at-risk students for mathematics difficulties (MD) and (b) to assess the influence of attention, behavior, reading, and socio-economic status (SES) in predicting the word problem solving performance of third-grade students with MD.…

Xin, Yan Ping; Si, Luo; Hord, Casey; Zhang, Dake; Cetinas, Suleyman; Park, Joo Young – Learning Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2012
The study explored the effects of a computer-assisted COnceptual Model-based Problem-Solving (COMPS) program on multiplicative word-problem-solving performance of students with learning disabilities or difficulties. The COMPS program emphasizes mathematical modeling with algebraic expressions of relations. Participants were eight fourth and fifth…

Swain, Kristine; Bertini, Tamara D.; Coffey, Dara – Learning Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2010
Research in the area of elementary mathematics has been limited in recent years. Direct instruction methods, including drill tasks, have been recommended for elementary students who have mathematics difficulties. This project involves two studies that examined the effectiveness of a specific direct instruction intervention, Folding-In, on the math…

Therrien, William J.; Budin, Shannon Gormley – Learning Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2008
The Reread-Adapt and Answer-Comprehend (RAAC) intervention has been demonstrated to improve the reading achievement of students with reading disabilities. This case study examines the impact of the RAAC intervention on two students with reading and behavioral difficulties. Results indicate that the RAAC intervention has the potential to be…
