Anne Barwasser; Sarah Schulze; Chiara Gieseler; Matthias Grünke – Exceptional Children, 2024
Word problem-solving is one major area in mathematics that has been identified as being particularly challenging for students, specifically for those with learning disabilities (LDs) and emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD). This study aims at evaluating the effects of a strategic math intervention with concept maps on the ability to solve…

Ley Davis, Luann; Spooner, Fred; Saunders, Alicia – Exceptional Children, 2022
Mathematical problem solving has been identified as one foundational area of mathematics for all students but is an area of weakness for students with disabilities. This investigation sought to determine the effects of peer-delivered schema-based instruction on the mathematical problem solving of the change problem type with four middle school…

Filderman, Marissa J.; Austin, Christy R.; Boucher, Alexis N.; O'Donnell, Katherine; Swanson, Elizabeth A. – Exceptional Children, 2022
Informed by theories of reading comprehension and prior reviews of reading comprehension intervention, this meta-analysis uniquely contributes to the literature because it describes the relative effects of various approaches to comprehension intervention for struggling readers in Grades 3 through 12. Findings from 64 studies demonstrate…

Cruz Neri, Nadine; Retelsdorf, Jan – Exceptional Children, 2022
Previous research illustrated that reading comprehension and science performance correlate highly. Because students with specific learning disorders with impairments in reading (SLD-IR) show deficits in reading comprehension, they may struggle to perform in science. As language in science is characterized by linguistic complexity, the question…

Lindstrom, Lauren; DeGarmo, David; Khurana, Atika; Hirano, Kara; Leve, Leslie – Exceptional Children, 2020
Young women with disabilities face unique barriers in the transition from school to adulthood, yet very few studies have examined the effectiveness of gender-specific career interventions. Using an intent-to-treat analysis, this study tested the efficacy of the Paths 2 the Future (P2F) career development curriculum to produce beneficial impacts as…

Jitendra, Asha K.; Harwell, Michael R.; Im, Soo-hyun – Exceptional Children, 2022
Proportional reasoning is the cornerstone of many higher-level mathematics topics. We evaluated the sustainability effects of schema-based instruction (SBI) on proportional reasoning and the impact of professional development (PD) on the instructional practices of two cohorts of seventh-grade teachers (i.e., SBI-experienced-teacher implementers,…

Steinbrenner, Jessica R.; Odom, Samuel L.; Hall, Laura J.; Hume, Kara – Exceptional Children, 2020
Assessing implementation of comprehensive treatment programs is a multifaceted process that should extend beyond measuring solely treatment fidelity. The purpose of this article is to describe and demonstrate a thorough process for assessing implementation and receipt of a comprehensive treatment program for students with autism spectrum disorders…

Dutta, Alo; Kundu, Madan; Iwanaga, Kanako; Ditchman, Nicole; Chan, Fong – Exceptional Children, 2020
The purpose of this study was to draw from self-determination and self-efficacy theories to evaluate psychological constructs (autonomous motivation, competency, and outcome expectancy) as mediators of the relationship between working alliance and engagement in transition-vocational rehabilitation (VR) services among African American students with…

Cox, Sarah K.; Root, Jenny R. – Exceptional Children, 2021
The Common Core State Standards for Mathematics highlight the importance of not only content standards for mathematics but also mathematical practices such as communication, representation, and reasoning, skills that are often difficult for students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Through a single-case multiple-probe-across-participants…

Hume, Kara; Odom, Samuel L.; Steinbrenner, Jessica R.; Smith DaWalt, Leann; Hall, Laura J.; Kraemer, Bonnie; Tomaszewski, Brianne; Brum, Christopher; Szidon, Kate; Bolt, Daniel M. – Exceptional Children, 2022
We tested the efficacy of a comprehensive intervention program designed for high school students across the autism spectrum, the Center on Secondary Education for Students with Autism (CSESA) model, in a cluster randomized control trial involving 60 high schools in three states (California, North Carolina, Wisconsin), with implementation occurring…

Hochman, Julia M.; Carter, Erik W.; Bottema-Beutel, Kristen; Harvey, Michelle N.; Gustafson, Jenny R. – Exceptional Children, 2015
Although peer interaction takes on increased salience during adolescence, such social connections remain elusive for many high school students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This social isolation can be particularly prevalent within unstructured school contexts. In this study, we examined the effects of a lunchtime peer network intervention…

Bottge, Brian A.; Cohen, Allan S.; Choi, Hye-Jeong – Exceptional Children, 2018
In this article, we describe results of a reanalysis of two randomized studies that tested the effects of enhanced anchored instruction (EAI) on the fractions computation performance of students in special education resource rooms and inclusive mathematics classrooms. Latent class analysis and latent transition analysis classified students…

Howard Wills; Joseph Wehby; Paul Caldarella; Debra Kamps; Rebecca Swinburne Romine – Exceptional Children, 2018
The present study examined the effects of the Class-Wide Function-Related Intervention Team (CW-FIT) program, a group contingency intervention addressing the on-task and disruptive behavior of students with or at risk for emotional behavior disorders (EBD). Twenty-one elementary schools, 155 general education teachers, and 324 students…

Gillespie, Amy; Graham, Steve – Exceptional Children, 2014
In this meta-analysis, the impact of writing interventions on the quality of writing produced by students with learning disabilities (LD) was assessed. Ancestral and electronic searches were used to locate experimental, quasi-experimental, and within-subjects design studies with participants in Grades 1-12 with documented LD. The effects of…
