"This study is a report of the Exceptional Children's Unit in Lake Placid, Florida. The purposes of this report are as follows: 1. To clarify the thoughts of the writer on what the Exceptional Children's Unit has accomplished. 2. To...
Reading comprehension is an essential skill for success in school and post-school life. However, despite the importance of this skill, a considerable number of students in the U.S. have shown difficulties in reading comprehension....
This study originally proposed a multitreatment (ABACAC) study design. This design was altered to an ABAB reversal design when both participants showed an increase in correct responding to science comprehension questions when just visual...
This multiple probe across participants design evaluated the effectiveness of teaching early number sense skills (ENS) to young children (age 4) with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) using Number Talks with supports. Following...
Under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, early intervention services are offered to children and their families from birth to three years of age. Likewise early childhood special education services are offered from three to...
Children with visual impairments have unique learning needs because visual impairment impacts a child's ability to learn incidentally though observation (Lowenfeld, 1952, 1973). Literature suggests children with visual impairments do not...
"The history of the movement to provide a special program of education for low-visioned children is of short duration. The New England Asylum for the Blind, the first school of its kind in America, was established in Boston, in 1832....

Elementary and Special Education Pre-Service Teachers' Self-Efficacy Beliefs about Teaching Mathematics and Science to Students with Autism: A Preliminary Study
The prevalence rate of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) among school aged children in the US has increased exponentially, compared to estimates from the year 2000. Increased numbers of elementary students with ASD are spending 80% or more...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of modified schema-based instruction (MSBI) on teaching post-secondary adolescents with extensive support needs (ESN) mathematical problem solving in a multiple probe across...
Cerebral Visual Impairment (“CVI”) is defined by a deficit of vision and visual perception in children that results from damage to the brain (Dutton & Lueck, 2015). Currently, CVI is the most common cause of visual impairment in children...
This study investigated the effects of a problem solving instructional strategy known as Modified Schema Based Instruction (MSBI) on the Mathematical Practices of four students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The Common Core State...
A qualitative study was conducted to identify the beliefs and attitudes of preservice special education teachers regarding teaching use of tangible symbols for students with multiple disabilities. Using tangible symbols is a promising...
Emergent literacy skills including alphabetic knowledge, print knowledge, oral language, phonological awareness, and emergent writing are foundational for future reading development. Many children with ASD are at risk for future reading...
