Secondary students with disabilities (SWDs) require evidence-based practices that promote their academic success. However, secondary teachers may feel unprepared to support secondary SWDs, which may reduce their likelihood of implementing evidence-based practices. Therefore, the authors investigated the influence of several preservice and…

Even though inclusive education is one of the significant concerns of a wide-ranging civil rights agenda, many teachers and administrators have serious hesitations about promoting the extensive placement of learners with disabilities or special educational needs in mainstream schools. However, there is widespread rhetorical commitment to…

Dyslexia is a learning disability that significantly hinders students' abilities to read and comprehend educational materials, posing a substantial challenge within educational environments. This paper introduces an innovative educational system, ReadSmart, that integrates both Augmented Reality (AR) and Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI)…

This study aimed to compare the effectiveness and efficiency of the model-lead-test (MLT) and video modeling (VM) methods in teaching individuals with ID how to access and use the services provided by the Turkish state in digital environments. Four individuals participated in the study, in which the adapted alternating treatments design, one of…

Little is known about inclusive teachers' belief systems about teaching students with mild, moderate, or severe intellectual disabilities across different subjects (e.g. language arts, math, science, PE, art, and music) in less developed countries. To address this gap, this study aims to understand inclusive teachers' belief systems about teaching…

Effective educational practices play an instrumental role in student success. In the context of an inclusive classroom, it is crucial that educators use evidence-based practices to ensure all students meet educational outcomes. This literature review paper focuses on two evidence-based pedagogies, namely direct/explicit instruction (DI/EI) and…

The use of program quality indicators (QIs) for teaching students with an intellectual disability (ID) is essential in meeting student needs and accessing curriculum. Principals who oversee and evaluate teachers of students with ID play a critical role in the implementation of QIs. A cross-sectional survey was conducted to investigate rural school…

Despite the importance of writing skill development, we know very little about how writing instruction is provided to students with visual impairments (VI) with and without co-occurring disabilities (e.g., multiple disabilities, deaf-blindness). The purpose of this study was to survey a national sample of U.S. teachers of students with visual…

Developing and supporting understanding of the meaning of multiplication and multiplicative relationships in students with mathematics learning disabilities requires carefully designed instruction that emphasizes strategic representation use. This article discusses three ways in which teachers can incorporate multiple representations within…

Attitudes towards educating children with disabilities have changed dramatically over the past 25 years in the African Sub-Saharan country of Zambia. Some children with special needs have come to be respected and offered educational opportunities to maximise their potential. These opportunities have included specialised schools and equipment, as…

This ethnographic study investigates the teaching and learning of the design process in biomedical engineering classrooms. Through classroom fieldwork, we examine how faculty and students conceptualize and implement the design process, focusing on its linear teaching methods, the abstraction of users, and the reinforcement of expertise…

The purpose of this literature review is to examine studies that explore critical special education teacher educators' use of anti-racist and anti-ableist pedagogy and/or Dis/ability Critical Race Studies Theory (DisCrit) as a framework for their curriculum, teaching strategies, and/or teaching techniques.

In this self-study, I propose a curriculum fragment methodology to work toward a greater understanding of the boundaries (Herdandez-Saca et al., 2023) between special education and disability studies that strengthens both teacher education and disability studies in education (DSE). Specifically, I engage in critical reflection on my teaching…

The purpose of this qualitative descriptive study was to explore how teachers described the integrative interactions, practices, and supports implemented as aligning with the IEPs when supporting students with significant and profound cognitive and physical disabilities in the general education environment. This study connected to the social…
