Primary school students with both giftedness and learning disabilities (SGLD) in inclusive educational settings may not always receive a differentiated curriculum. Differentiation in all-level classrooms is necessary for consistently meeting the needs of SGLD. There is insufficient research on teachers' knowledge of SGLD and differentiation in…

UK government responses to COVID-19 have intensified experiences of uncertainty for people with learning disabilities. The pandemic has eroded the support people receive, previously weakened by austerity measures. In research, COVID-19 related uncertainty has led to some reworking of methods and intensive contingency planning. This was to fulfil…

Mathematics problem-solving is a fundamental aspect of school mathematics that requires an integrated set of skills, such as comprehending the problems and mathematics computation. Providing useful problem-solving interventions and instructions is essential for students who are English learners (ELs) with learning disabilities or at risk for…

Multilingual children represent a rapidly growing population of students in U.S. schools. However, identification of language and learning disabilities for students from different linguistic backgrounds is complex, leading to frequent misidentification of multilingual learners for special education. This article provides guidance on how special…

Although the effectiveness of extracurricular support offers for pupils with developmental learning disorders (DLD) is well documented, little is known about the utilisation of these services. Following the Behavioural Model of Health Care Utilisation, and based on data of a self-developed online survey (N = 225 parents of third and fourth…

This qualitative reader profile study explored how Retrospective Miscue Analysis (RMA), by Y.M. Goodman and Marek (1996), broadens the reading process and perceptions about the reading process, how RMA impacts a child's perception of him/herself as a reader, how RMA influences a child's definition of reading and the shifts in reading strategies as…

Assembly Bill (AB) 705 transformed California community colleges by placing all students into transfer-level mathematics, including students with learning disabilities (SWLD). This multimethod study of one community college district explores the impact of AB 705 on SWLD. The sequential multimethod design includes three phases: 1) document…

Middle school learners with disabilities, particularly learning disabilities, struggle with organizing their thoughts, expressing their ideas, spelling, the use of content vocabulary, the mechanics of writing, fluency, and overall, the primary elements of written expression (Graham et al., 2015). While writing complicates learning for students…

Students with learning disabilities/difficulties in mathematics often apply ineffective procedures to solve word problems. Given that current mathematics curriculum standards emphasize conceptual understanding in problem solving as well as higher-order thinking and reasoning, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of a model-based…

Students with specific learning disabilities (SLD) represent roughly five percent of U.S. public school students aged 3-21. Current federal policy outlines guidelines for identification of SLDs, while ultimately leaving specific procedures to the determination of state and local education agencies. Research into how the method used in…

College students with learning disabilities face a number of challenges in postsecondary education and a lower graduation rate when compared with their peers who do not have a learning disability (Fernandez & Santi, 2016; Kreider, 2020). In response to this discrepancy, we designed a peer mentoring program utilizing mentors who are enrolled in…

We investigated the correlations between psychological capital (PsyCap) and academic adjustment in students with learning disabilities (LD), with a focus on the mediating role of subjective well-being (SWB). We compared LD students receiving support from academic centres to those not receiving support and analysed the disparities in PsyCap, SWB,…

This mixed methods study investigates whether technology mediated collaborative practices during a professional development (PD) session led to growth in the collective efficacy of 21 special education teachers at an independent 1-12 school in Southeastern Virginia. This school specializes in individualized instruction for students with learning…

This systematic review examines the teacher-student relationship (TSR) from an attachment perspective and explores its impact on academic (dis)engagement, (under)achievement and Early School Leaving (ESL) over time. It addresses two objectives: (1) examining the longitudinal influence of TSR on academic outcomes and (2) assessing its effect on…

This article discusses the growing misalignment between the roles teachers are expected to play in schools and their core instructional responsibilities. Drawing on evidence from the United States, Germany, and international exemplars such as Finland, Norway, Singapore, and Ontario, we argue that educational systems have increasingly placed…
