The instructional barrier matrix can support teachers in identifying student's diverse needs. Combined with Universal Design for Learning, the matrix gives all students access to engaged learning, and the planning process for teachers becomes proactive, time-saving, and effective.

Purpose: Miniature linguistic systems (also known as matrix training) is a method of organizing learning targets to achieve generative learning or recombinative generalization. This systematic review is aimed at determining whether matrix training is effective for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in terms of improving recombinative…
