Learners with developmental disabilities often encounter difficulties in performing daily activities that involve digital platforms, operating systems, applications, and other digital tools. Considering the growing importance of digital literacy, we examined the effectiveness of the clustered forward chaining (CFC) procedure in teaching digital…

Manding is an important skill for children to learn to access not only preferred items but also information that can be crucial to their success in academic, professional, or social settings. There is a need to continue research to best teach mands for information. The current study examined the effectiveness of using incidental teaching to teach…

Background: Previous reviews did not include sources that were published in the last 14 years, indicating a need for an updated synthesis on the time delay literature. Objectives: This review was designed to synthesize outcomes for studies assessing time delay prompting procedures for teaching young children. Data sources: PsycINFO and ProQuest…

An experimental design was used to evaluate the effects of a classroom-based purchasing skills intervention designed to teach postsecondary students with intellectual and developmental disabilities the one-dollar-more purchasing strategy. The experimental group students (n = 12) completed the intervention first,and the control group participants…

Individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) have a significantly lower employment rate than those without disabilities. One promising intervention for improving employment outcomes is video-based instruction. The purpose of this systematic review was to examine the application of video-based instruction (VBI) to teach…

Stay-play-talk (SPT) is a peer-mediated intervention that involves training peer implementers to stay in proximity to, play with, and talk to a focal child who has disabilities or lower social competence. This systematic review and meta-analysis investigated the contexts in which SPT interventions have been conducted, the methodological adequacy…

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a precision teaching (PT) framework on the mathematical ability of students with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We also examined if students of moderate mathematical ability could perform as well as their peers with fewer difficulties with their math skills. Sixteen students…

Teaching students with intellectual and development disabilities (IDD) can often be a difficult and complex job. Teachers frequently rely on educational support staff or paraprofessionals to assist in the classroom in a variety of ways. However, paraprofessionals are unlikely to come into the classroom with the knowledge and skills needed to…

To live independently, it is critical that students with disabilities maintain the basic mathematical skills they have acquired so they may apply these skills in daily life. To support maintenance of mathematical skills among students with developmental disabilities, the researchers used a multiple probe across participants design to examine the…

Given the importance of social integration and participation in inclusive settings for young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), the purpose of this systematic review was to examine instructional outcomes and participant, teacher, group, and instructional characteristics that may be pertinent to successful group instruction for young…

This article investigates how a computer simulator for human interactions and a dyadic system in a pencil-and-paper environment can contribute to helping students with poor motor co-ordination, notably those with dyspraxia, to learn geometry. The aim is to design an alternative way to teach the subject, and to explore its effects on the learning…

Purpose: This study investigated the use of a new software feature, namely, dynamic text with speech output, on the acquisition of single-word reading skills by six children with developmental disabilities during shared e-book reading experiences with six typically developing peers. Method: A single-subject, multiple-probe design across…

Research suggests that high school aged individuals with developmental disabilities are at a higher likelihood of lacking the prosocial behaviors necessary for successful transition into post high school life and a work environment. Decreased vocational success often leads to increased likelihood of mental health issues for individuals with…

Recent research has shown the effectiveness of literacy-based behavioral interventions (LBBIs) as an instructional strategy for a host of skills and routines, including employment skills. This study compared the effects of three LBBI storybook formats (print, e-book, and e-book enhanced with video clips) on the accuracy and independent completion…

Purpose: The goal was to determine whether interactive book reading outcomes for children with developmental language disorder (DLD) were affected by manipulation of dose (i.e., the number of exposures to the target word during a book reading session) and dose frequency (i.e., the number of repeated book reading sessions) and whether pretreatment…
