This review was conducted to evaluate the current body of scholarly research regarding the use of computer-assisted instruction (CAI) to teach mathematics to students with specific learning disability (SLD). For many years, computers are utilized for educational purposes. However, the effectiveness of CAI for teaching mathematics to this specific group of students is unclear. First, a brief review of the diagnosis of SLD, the importance of mathematics instruction for these students, and the use of computers in the classroom is provided. Next, a review of the current body of research is presented. Finally, suggestions for future research are discussed. Since 1981, a total of 25 research studies have been published, focusing exclusively on using CAI for teaching mathematics to students with SLD. This review examines the current body of research for this area. In addition, the author provides recommendations for future research on this important subject for this category of students.
This chapter focuses on inclusion of students with disabilities in educational settings as practiced in the USA. It discusses federal legislation such as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act that has been instrumental in heralding inclusion in the USA. The K-12 schools and institutions of higher education include in their programs students with various disabilities such as learning disability and autism. Some of the inclusion strategies implemented in K-12 settings are Individualized Education Plans, Section 504 Plans, and Universal Design for Learning. In higher education, efforts have been made to remove structural barriers, provide testing accommodations, instructional accommodations, modify policies, provide online class materials, allow service animals and emotional support animals on campus. For students with intellectual disabilities, Think College, a recent option to inclusive higher education, has been picking up momentum. Despite all efforts, inclusion in education has barriers that need to be addressed for the benefit of all.
