More than two thirds of students with disabilities enter secondary school with reading difficulties (Capin et al., 2022). Moreover, half of all secondary students who struggle with reading may still have word recognition difficulties (Hock et al., 2009; Leach et al., 2003; Spear-Swerling, 2015) making lack of attention to reading instruction a…

As noted by the National Center for Education Statistics (2020), the enrollment of students with disabilities in the higher education environment continues to grow. As more students with disabilities transition into the postsecondary environment, their diverse learning needs and required supports must be addressed to ensure their postsecondary…

The COVID-19 pandemic changed teachers' lesson delivery and students' learning approaches. This shift resulted in significant challenges in integrating technology in the post-COVID-19 classroom. The need for teachers' guidance in using technology to enhance learning in the classroom is significant. The following questions were answered in this…

SWLD are often underperforming in STEM courses compared to their peers without learning difficulties. Furthermore, how students perform in 9th grade is found to be a strong predictor of high school success, graduation, enrolling, and persisting in college (Easton et al., 2017). The study aimed to investigate whether the use of PBA, a…

Training key stakeholders in the design of reasonable adjustments for students with disabilities could promote collaboration and inclusion. We tested the feasibility of a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of online education (intervention) in designing reasonable adjustments by Victorian (Australian) parents and…

This paper tells the story of how one school leveraged the expertise of a family to build an equitable collaboration that transformed the educational experiences of Jake, a fifth-grade student with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). Personal accounts from 3 teachers, 2 administrators, and a parent illustrate the power of leaning into…

Typically developing children who grow up with siblings with disabilities often have numerous negative experiences owing to many factors such as parental differences in behaviour, lack of time & attention received and many others.

The purpose of this study was to examine the efficacy of a teacher-implemented professional development program to increase the fidelity with which paraeducators use evidence-based practices (EBPs) in instruction for children with autism. Employing a modified multiple-probe design, investigators implemented the Autism Focused Intervention…

Using an implementation science framework, this study examines the impact of a multicomponent professional development (PD) approach implemented by internal peer coaches on early intervention providers' use of Family Guided Routines-Based Intervention. The experimental study used a single-case multiple baseline design across participants,…

U.S. federal policy recommends college and career readiness (CCR) programs to ensure students are prepared for postsecondary life.

In both general education and special education, many teachers did not have tools or strategies in place to provide deaf students with accessible lessons and support. Teachers needed to change their materials quickly and…

This literature synthesis examines empirical literature on interventions and measures used in experimental studies of reading comprehension for students with both autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and intellectual disability (ID) or intensive support needs. Eleven studies met inclusion criteria. We present the effectiveness of the interventions and…

In order to propose intervention methods that can effectively improve the vocational skills of adolescents with autism spectrum disorders, meta-analysis is conducted on 16 research articles in the past twenty years focusing on single-type subjects. The intervention Tau-U effect values of related studies are calculated, and adjustment analysis is…

This study investigated interactions of pre-service teachers' experiences and self-efficacy for teaching students with disabilities using culturally responsive practices. Extending a previous study, this study investigated what happens with intentional instructional changes. Pre-service teachers participated in courses about inclusion of students…
