Prior research suggests that physical activity aids students with children affected by attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) who are more likely to exhibit high levels of inattentive, hyperactive, and impulsive behaviors that result in difficulties in academic and social settings. Because of the lack of alternative treatments, the…

This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of the Repeated Reading and Visual Comprehension Program (TOGAP) developed to support the reading comprehension skills of primary school students with specific learning disabilities (SLD) in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grades. The research was conducted with four primary school students with SLD. The changing…

An A-B-A-B withdrawal design was used to explore the effects of a text-to-speech (TTS) program (Read & Write Gold 11) on reading comprehension scores for two fourth-grade students with learning disabilities in an urban school. For each session, students used the TTS program to read a fourth-grade-level comprehension passage. The number of…

This exploratory case study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of Voyager Sopris' Read Well program when implemented as a reading intervention in elementary self-contained special education classrooms. This research expands on previous research investigating the implementation of the Read Well with target populations, including those…

In this article, we introduce the term "vulnerability to achievement stressors," which refers to differentially low achievement when shifts in the educational environment "stress" or threaten the capacity of an individual or a group of individuals to make academic progress. We also introduce a methodological framework for…

This study aimed to develop the Reading Fluency and Comprehension Supplemental Education Program (OKA[superscript 2]DEP) and investigate the effects on reading fluency and comprehension skills of students with specific learning disabilities (SLD) in Turkey. OKA[superscript 2]DEP is the abbreviation of the Turkish name of the program and OKA stands…

Students with reading disabilities generally know fewer words (breadth) with less in-depth knowledge of those words (depth) than typical students. The present study examined the effects of a "moderately rich vocabulary instruction" in which both breadth and depth of vocabulary are addressed. Nineteen U.S. 4th- and 5th-grade students with…

The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of the Comprehension Strategies Mobile App (COSMA) on the reading comprehension performance of students with learning disabilities. Four students with learning disabilities (three boys, one girl) participated in the study. The experimental process of the study was carried out according to…

In this article, we introduce the term "vulnerability to achievement stressors," which refers to differentially low achievement when shifts in the educational environment "stress" or threaten the capacity of an individual or a group of individuals to make academic progress. We also introduce a methodological framework for…

The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of technology-supported mathematical modeling method on the mathematical skills of a fourth-grade student with Mathematical Learning Disabilities. The study group consists of a fourth-grade student. It was discovered that the student lacked numerical and logical skills compared to other students.…

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of utilizing explicit instruction, point-of-view video modeling, and augmented reality technology to teach mathematics to students with disabilities. A multiple probe single-case research design was used. Three students with Learning Disabilities (LD) who were receiving special education…

Background/Context: The U.S has experienced years of lost progress in math because of the COVID-19 pandemic (NAEP, n.d.a). Fraction understanding is widely characterized as the gatekeeper to algebra (Booth et al., 2012; National Mathematics Advisory Panel, 2008) and can support success in middle and high school math (Bailey et al., 2012; Booth et…

Students with learning disabilities often struggle to explore and apply problem-solving strategies to mathematical word problems, with challenges becoming particularly evident when learning fractions due to their abstract nature and conceptual complexity. This study investigated the effects of Solve It! strategy combined with video modeling on…

Purpose: Although children with language-based learning disabilities (LLD) demonstrate significant difficulties with writing, empirical evidence to support interventions is sparse. Therefore, the purpose of this pilot study was to examine the feasibility and promise of a writing intervention for fourth- and fifth-grade students with LLD (WILLD:…

The increasing number of students who lack proficient reading skills is well known in Germany, as well as globally. Students with learning disabilities (LD), problem behavior, and German as a second language (L2) may face even greater hurdles. However, it is essential for teachers to provide adequate support to maintain equal educational…
