  • Facilitating Multiplicative Reasoning Among Third-Grade Students With or at Risk for Mathematics Difficulties

    Open AccessVictoria Sánchez, Asha K Jitendra et al.ARTICLEJournal of Learning Disabilities2026

    This study investigated the efficacy of a Tier 2 multiplicative reasoning (MR) intervention designed to help third-grade students at risk for mathematics difficulties (MD) develop conceptual understanding of MR. The MR intervention included opportunities for students to engage in critical thinking as they generalized big ideas, participated in classroom discourse, and modeled multiplicative relationships with multiple representations. Sixteen ele…

  • Effectiveness of mathematical word problem solving interventions for students with learning disabilities and/or mathematics difficulties

    Amy E Lein, Asha K Jitendra et al.ARTICLEJournal of Educational Psychology2020

    This meta-analysis synthesized the available empirical evidence on the impact of interventions on the development and enhancement of mathematical word problem solving skills for K–12 students with learning disabilities (LD) and those with mathematics difficulties (MD). A total of 33 studies met inclusion criteria for this meta-analysis. After removing 2 influential data points, 31 true-experimental or quasi-experimental studies (34 independent ef…

  • Meeting the Needs of Students With Learning Disabilities in Inclusive Mathematics Classrooms

    Asha K Jitendra, Jon R StarARTICLETheory Into Practice2011Cited by: 3References: 1

    This article discusses schema-based instruction (SBI) as an alternative to traditional instruction for enhancing the mathematical problem solving performance of students with learning disabilities (LD). In the authors' most recent research and developmental efforts, they designed SBI to meet the needs of middle school students with LD in inclusive mathematics classrooms by addressing the research literatures in special education, cognitive psycho…

  • Improving Comprehension of Expository Text in Students With LD

    Open AccessMeenakshi Gajria, Asha K Jitendra et al.ARTICLEJournal of Learning Disabilities2007Cited by: 10

    This article summarizes the findings of research studies designed to improve the comprehension of expository text for students with learning disabilities. Twenty-nine studies were located that met the inclusion criteria. Interventions gleaned from the review were categorized as content enhancement (i.e., advance and graphic organizers, visual displays, mnemonic illustrations, and computer-assisted instruction) or cognitive strategy instruction (i…
