“…Their results indicate that MI theory had a prominent influence on improving test scores, discipline, parent participation, and learning for students with disabilities. The majority of studies on MI have focused on the preK-12 level (primarily, the preK-8 level) as well as classroom application, and they present a rich bank of findings collected from teachers and students (Campbell & Campbell, 1999;Gray & Waggoner, 2002;Hickey, 2004;Kallenbach & Viens, 2002;Kornhaber & Kreshevsky, 1995;Mettetal, Jordan, & Harper, 1997;Noble, 2004;Shore, 2004).
