Students with disabilities or other minority backgrounds are removed from their classrooms at higher rates than their peers…

Use of evidence-based interventions for learning disabilities (LDs) in the classroom is limited by several factors such as teachers' knowledge of LDs and access to interventions. eHealth interventions (i.e., interventions delivered via the Internet) have the potential to be a powerful tool in overcoming barriers to implementing evidence-based…

High prevalence of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and the legislation movement impacted the placement of students with ASD in general education settings.
