More research attention and implementation support are needed for mathematics intervention as student achievement in this area continues to fall below desirable levels. Incremental rehearsal is an intervention to help students build reading, vocabulary, and math fluency. Research supports the use of incremental rehearsal for improving math fact fluency. However, this intervention is more complicated than the traditional flashcard intervention. Therefore, an implementation guide is needed to increase its use with students who need to improve math fact fluency. This article will provide step-by-step instructions for implementing incremental rehearsal plus helpful implementation aids such as a chart demonstrating the proper presentation sequence and a treatment integrity checklist.

Building proficiency with fraction arithmetic poses a consistent challenge for students with learning difficulties or disabilities in mathematics. This article illustrates how teachers can use the number line model to support struggling learners in making sense of fraction arithmetic. Number lines are a powerful tool that can be used to help students represent and solve problems involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division with fractions while building conceptual understanding of the underlying operations. Evidence-based strategies for using number line models to teach fraction arithmetic concepts and skills are described and specific examples provided to illustrate how teachers can strategically integrate number line models with other mathematical representations to support the development of flexible understanding of fractions.

Rational number proficiency is predictive of later mathematics achievement, especially for rigorous mathematics courses, such as Algebra I. Students with learning disabilities (LD) in mathematics struggle to make adequate progress on rational number concepts and skills that lay the foundation for successfully completing secondary mathematics courses. However, recent research has demonstrated that utilizing effective instructional design, such as the use of a number line with systematic and explicit instruction, can result in academic progress for students with LD in mathematics. This article presents teachers with a four-step teaching sequence utilizing the number line and effective strategies for teaching students with LD in mathematics to introduce fraction-to-decimal relationships in upper elementary, a prerequisite for middle school mathematics.

Given the disproportionate rates of youth with disabilities who experience exclusionary discipline in schools, it is important to consider the involvement of law enforcement officers in the discipline of these students and their right to an equitable education. One recent case of concern was Wilson v. City of Southlake, which clarified that police can be sued for disability discrimination based on their response to a student with a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 where life-threatening circumstances are not present. This finding has implications for schools that involve school resource officers in responding to children who are protected under either of these provisions.
鉴于残疾青年在学校遭受排他性纪律的比例过高,必须考虑执法人员参与这些学生的纪律以及他们获得公平教育的权利。最近的一个令人关注的案例是威尔逊诉南湖市案(Wilson v. City of Southlake),该案澄清,根据《美国残疾人法案》(Americans with Disabilities Act)或1973年《康复法案》(Rehabilitation Act)第504条,在没有危及生命的情况下,警察可以因对残疾学生的反应而被起诉为残疾歧视。这一发现对那些让学校资源官员对受上述任何一项规定保护的儿童作出反应的学校具有启示意义。

Students with disabilities are choosing to engage in remote schooling. Families of children with disabilities may never set foot in a physical school building. Yet, it is important for families to feel connected to their child’s education and the school community. This column discusses strategies based in culturally relevant pedagogy to engage parents of students with disabilities who are learning remotely. Strategies can be applied to families of all students with disabilities, but a focus is placed on families of students with a learning disability. Educators can facilitate culturally relevant practices that (a) establish effective, culturally honoring two-way communication with families online, (b) connect families to necessary resources that are typically provided when children attend a physical school building, and (c) encourage social ties between families to raise critical consciousness.

The number line is a powerful tool for supporting students’ understanding of fraction magnitude. Fractions are a critical component of mathematics instruction in the elementary and intermediate grades. More specifically, understanding fraction magnitude is central to mathematical development. Yet fractions are challenging for many students, particularly students with or at risk of learning disabilities (LD) in mathematics. This article shares (a) key recommendations when planning and implementing fraction number line instruction, (b) sample fraction number line activities for supporting students’ understanding of fraction magnitude and overall mathematics achievement, and (c) strategies for helping students grasp the abstract number line representation.

Number lines can benefit students in learning an array of mathematical concepts. An area of mathematics where number lines are visibly underused is in teaching measurement concepts. For students in upper elementary grades, accurate measurements require the use of mathematical precision and coordination, including skills in fractions and decimals, operations, and magnitude. A robust knowledge of measurement holds significant value in students’ development of mathematical proficiency, particularly for students with learning disabilities in mathematics. Using number lines to teach and perform mathematical processes involving measurement can build fluency and conceptual understanding for all learners, including those with learning disabilities. This article demonstrates the versatility of integrating number lines into mathematical interventions involving measurement concepts for students with learning disabilities in mathematics. Measurement content discussed includes distance, time intervals, liquid volume, and mass. Scenarios with examples of how to apply number lines to each measurement form are described.

Individuals with disabilities often have difficulties transitioning to employment after the completion of high school. This is especially true for individuals with autism spectrum disorder, as many of the soft skills needed for employment (e.g. communication, flexibility, teamwork) are characteristically difficult. Employment training in community-based vocational instruction sites at the secondary level can ease this transition, as well as serve as an environment that teaches technical and soft employability skills. In addition, community-based vocational instruction sites contribute to success in obtaining and maintaining integrated and inclusive employment. This column outlines a seven-step process for educators to successfully create community-based vocational partnerships, meeting the transition needs of individuals with autism spectrum disorder.

The number line has been proposed as a central construct used by students to solve a range of mathematics problems. Given the capacity of number lines to represent all real numbers and to be used in a variety of contexts, there have been calls to increase the use of number lines in mathematics instruction. However, due to the recency of these recommendations coupled with the myriad ways in which number lines can be used, little hands-on guidance has been provided how best to leverage number lines in mathematics instruction. This special issue details five areas in which teachers can use number lines to support acquisition of critical mathematics concepts and skills.
