Culturally Responsive Self-Regulated Strategy Development in Writing for College Students with Disabilities
Torres, Caroline; Black, Rhonda S.
Multiple Voices for Ethnically Diverse Exceptional Learners, v18 n1 p42-59 Spr 2018
Students with disabilities and culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) students typically struggle more with writing than their nondisabled and English-proficient peers. Although the reasons are different, these students often face similar difficulties in writing. Self-regulated strategy development (SRSD) is an evidence-based practice for students with disabilities. In this study, SRSD was adapted to address postsecondary writing demands and to add culturally responsive and language development elements, resulting in culturally responsive and evidence-based approach to excellence (CREATE) in writing. A mixed methods design was used to investigate the effect of CREATE on 10 college students with disabilities, including five CLD, during a 2-week workshop. The outcomes indicated increases in writing quality and fluency, as well as participants' perceptions of their writing.
