Learning Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, v12 n3 p101-111 2003
Most adolescents with learning disabilities spend the majority of their school day in general education classes and are expected to meet most, if not all, of the academic requirements of these classes. This review of the literature describes interventions shown to positively impact academic performance of students with learning disabilities in middle and high school general education classes. These interventions are organized into one of three categories: student-focused, teacher-focused, and peer-focused.
