Delisio, Lauren A.; Bukaty, Caitlyn A.; Taylor, Matthew – Journal of Special Education Apprenticeship, 2018
Many of the top 21st century careers require advanced mathematics skills. However, mathematics is a known area of difficulty for students with disabilities (SWD), as they struggle in this area at a higher rate than peers without disabilities (O'Brien, 2016). Mathematical word problems incorporate comprehension of written language, an area known to…
