“…The Strategies Intervention Model (SIM) is cited as comprehensive and well researched, and was successfully replicated by Katsiyannis and Prillaman (1990), Oates, Turland, and Mehaffie (1989), Scheid (1989), Smith (1986), Vallecorsa et al (1991), and Woodward and Noell (1991). Other studies (Deshler & Schumaker, 1986;Harris & Graham, 1985;Palincsar & Brown, 1984;Pressley, Goodchild, Fleet, Zajchowski, & Evans, 1989;Wong & Jones, 1982) validated the effectiveness of the SIM with lowachieving students and students with learning disabilities in elementary, secondary, and postsecondary settings.…”
