Questions related to Learning Disabilities
Hello everyone,
I’m exploring the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in transforming classroom learning experiences for students with learning disabilities. With the rise of AI-powered adaptive tools and personalized learning platforms, I’m particularly interested in understanding how these technologies can support learners facing challenges such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, ADHD, and other specific learning differences.
My main questions are as follows:
- Efficacy of AI Interventions: What does the current research say about the overall effectiveness of AI-driven instructional strategies in boosting academic outcomes for students with learning disabilities? Are there studies that highlight significant improvements in engagement, comprehension, or retention?
- Evidence-Based Approaches: Which AI-based approaches have demonstrated promise in delivering differentiated instruction and personalized learning paths that cater to diverse learning needs? For instance, how might natural language processing or adaptive learning algorithms be harnessed to address specific challenges faced by these students?
- Challenges and Considerations: What are the main challenges—be they technical, ethical, or pedagogical—in integrating AI into inclusive classroom settings? Additionally, how can we address issues such as data privacy, algorithmic bias, and equitable access to ensure AI tools contribute meaningfully to an inclusive educational environment?
I welcome any references, case studies, or personal insights from those working in this field. Thank you for your contributions to this discussion.

How do we account for learning disabled researchers? Many people who are not adaptable to conventional education may have great research input if only given the effective medium. For instance, many disabled writers may be savants in research areas but lack a means to popularize their works.
In the most common learning disabilities, among others, are autism and ADHD. Autistic students, rightfully so, possess their own program named and made for them, yet people with ADHD, perhaps a higher population than autistics, lack their own specifically made program. How should this situation be mended? ADHD is a massive problem.
If the achievement is affected by the I.Q then why do some Developmental Disorders (DD) show low achievement in spite of high I.Q?
I am interested how is defined the role of speech pathologist and special educator regarding learning disabilities (specific learning disabilities) in your country.
What kind of support is provided from speech pathologist and what support is provided from special educator?
What are differences between those two professions when having in mind children with LD.
Please answer how it is in your country. And if you can send me a website for undergraduate as well as graduate studies with all courses for getting competences for special educators
Project Title: Exploring the properties of the Accessible AQ in children.
Dear all,
I am currently recruiting participants to take part in my final year dissertation research project. I am investigating the properties of an accessible version of an autism screening tool (the Autism Quotient) when used with children.
The study has received ethical approval from Northumbria University (Ref:44763) and all data will be kept secure and anonymous.
We are looking for participants that:
- • are aged 18 years or over;
- • are able to give informed consent;
- • have a child aged between 6 and 17;
- • Your child does not have to have a diagnosis of autism to take part.
The study will involve:
- • Completing a few questions asking for demographic information about you and your child, such as age and gender.
- • Completion of two questionnaires about your child. The first is a screening tool (the AQ) that measures autistic like traits, such as preferring set routines. These traits can be found among the general population to different degrees. The second is a screening tool for learning disability. These will take approximately 10 minutes to complete.
- • Your child will be asked to complete two short questionnaires that are ‘easy read’ versions of the AQ.
If you have any further questions regarding the study, please contact sally.e.lamb@northumbria.ac.uk
To find out more information about the study and to take part, please go to: https://nupsych.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8zYLleeCRtFvKWG
Hello everyone! I am Monika. I am a PhD student and working on developing Intelligent solutions and tools for learners with learning disabilities as a part of a DST funded project. I would like to have your support to understand more about this domain and to get in contact with more learners with this learning condition.
Kindly provide information of any individual or organization dealing with these learners by filling or sharing the google form. This form will take 2-3 minutes for you to fill and data will strictly be used for research purposes and will not be shared with anyone.
Learners dealing with Learning Disabilities are usually seen to have a persistent struggle in learning. These difficulties arise despite having a normal intelligence (IQ). In Dyslexia, learner faces difficulty in fluent reading, spell out words, identifying the alphabets, identifying the sound of the alphabet and forming sentences. In Dysgraphia, the learner struggles with writing alphabets, illegible handwriting, poor grip on a pencil, decode information, understanding a sequence/ pattern and expressing thoughts in sentences. In Dyscalculia, the learner struggles with counting, basic calculation, word problems memorising and understanding the mathematical concepts.
Requesting you to share this with any individuals, parents, guardians, teachers, special educators, help groups, organizations, schools with links to such learners.
Regards
Monika Thapliyal
I have just started in an exciting new Practice Development Nurse for Learning disability role and am looking for some resources to use on the wards and classroom settings.

I am looking for articles, methodologies, ... that can be used to develop guidelines for course materials.
For example, sometimes the advice is given that white text on black background is better for students with AD(H)D. However, it is not always clear where that advice comes from, if it is supported by evidence, and what the expected benefit is.
Another related question is that there should be no harmful effect on students without learning disabilities.

Hello everyone, I would really like to get your expert input on this inquiry I am exploring. Please give your feedback. I am a grade three teacher with a student whose reading and comprehension skills are way below his grade level. He however has access to a tablet and is really into this bit of technology. My question therefore is how can I use technology such as a tablet to help improve the reading level and comprehension skill of a student who is below grade level?

Neurocognitive strategies,for Dyscalculia students at primary level. .(Dyscalculia means one of the Learning disability)
Mostly clinicians rely on Thier clinical judgement for determining the severity of Learning Disability which results in subjectivity...In India we are mostly using NIMHANS Index of Learning Disability...this test too has scope for subjectivity. I am looking for a tool (for research purpose) which can provide objective assessment of severity of LD
There are many different descriptions of IQ and what they entail. To be honest, I have always considered the idea that intellect cannot be defined simply because there are so many skills and abilities as well as areas of intellect that can be defined as relative to IQ. Although recently I have come across the thought that IQ should be designated as the ability for an individual to be able to learn new subject matter or understand subject matter cognitively. This would make sense-- considering that mental retardation inhibits the individual from understanding simple and new subject matter. Autism also is a learning disability, however it is wise to notice that individuals on the autism spectrum tend to have a higher propensity toward individual areas of intellect that most cannot do. (For example, being able to read without be able to speak, I have seen this before in a case.) In summation, it would make sense not to base IQ off of what is currently known, but what an individual has the ability to learn. What are your thoughts?
Use of mobile device is hindering learning in classrooms, and a distraction especially for those students who have learning disabilities. How and what are the best possible solutions to mitigate the use of mobile devices in classrooms, without compromising on their learning needs.
I am working on my dissertation for my Doctoral Degree. I am in need of a tested and reliable quantitative instrument that can help look at perceptions, stigmas, or attitudes of adult students with learning disabilities or ADHD.
Quantitative Instrument to measure stigma, attitudes, or perceptions of adult students with disabilities or ADHD?
I am a social policy/ social work student with a specific interest in learning disabilities. My son attends a specialist dyslexic school for children with severe dyslexia. The criteria for enrolement is that children must have a regular or higher IQ but be within the 1st to 3rd percentile in their literacy ability. They attend the school for a two year period before returning to mainstream education.
They target children's dyslexia using the Wilson Method to decode language while also working on self esteem and confidence building.The difference the school has made in one year is increadible, my son can now read, is engaged and his sanxiety has disappeared.
The Department of Education now want to keep children in mainstream primary schools and use resource teaching to tackle dyslexiainstead of specialist teaching.
We are trying to gather research to show the benefit of targeted teaching in these very few specialist schools. leaign
Any research on the benefits of dyslexia teaching would be of benefit, thanks
I read several article said about this phenomenon, but he does not clearly stated relationship between those two.

Of particular interest is any connection between the duration of gaming sessions and learning, cognition, memory and mood. Also consider whether or not frequent and extended gaming might exacerbate diagnosed learning disabilities such as dyslexia and ADHD.
I am also interested in gaming in the context of adolescent male social dynamics. See Rosalind Wiseman, Daphne Bavelier and Jane McGonigal.
I am working in the area of disability and I am investigating whether digital games can become the bridge between children with learning disabilities and children in formal development, aiming at inclusive education. Do you know tools - questionnaires (assessment tools) for evaluating digital gaming that measure user experience, usability, learning motivation, etc? (primary school)
Thank you.

Dear Friends,
The philosophy of Inclusive Education is that, ' All are welcome to schools'. In India through Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) Inclusive Education is implemented at primary school level. But still in primary schools have no different types of special needs children. Only Socially Disadvantaged Children are admitted because of Reservation Policy in India. Then why Hearing Impaired, Visually Impaired, Mentally Retarded, Physically Handicapped, Learning Disabled, Slow Learners etc. types of children are not learn together in Primary School.
I mean for example rehabilitation machines specially made to overcome learning disabilities and the like. Or to improve the teaching - learning process, as it was the Teaching Machine made by B.F. Skinner. Mechanical, electrical or electronic devices, but not computer based ones.
Many thanks.
There is a lot of thoughts on gullibility being a component of intellectual disability. I have been reading works on open-minded cognition and how it can be situational. What if the actual component of intellectual disability is not gullibility but an inability to be open-mindedly situational. How would the landscape of our knowledge change in an educational and caring context? Does anyone know of any works in this area? Thoughts?

I've been working on the topic of dyslexia for quite some time and some scholar friends from this site have been resourceful but again I'm stuck. I find it is very difficult distinguishing dyslexia from Specific learning disorders or learning disorders. Can somebody kindly enlighten me in this subject?
Learning Disabilities:
1. Auditory Processing Disorder (APD)
2. Dyscalculia
3. Dysgraphia
4. Dyslexia
5. Language Processing Disorder
6. Non-Verbal Learning Disabilities

There is an association of the two disorders to these types of learning disabilities?
My experience leads me to believe that the values of respect are learned but not really taught how to treat people with disabilities.
Inclusion in schools is not real if it is not taught to relate well to children with disabilities
The lack of skills and lack of positive experiences is a reality. Avoid contact children not to fail in their relationship
It would be useful to have a standard outcome measure to facilitate service audit. The difficulty is that whilst there are various outcome measures recommended for people with mild to moderate learning/intellectual disabilities, there seems to be a dearth of measures for people with more severe intellectual / learning disabilities.
The ideal measure would be:
- Quick to administer
- Easy to understand
- Applicable to people with as wide a range of intellectual disabilities as possible.
Any information / recommendations would be very much appreciated!

Raeff talks of independence being a social construct based on the value placed on aspects of independence in each society. I would like to draw a picture of the value in my own society. Have you done this in yours? What documents did you use to help define the value placed? I have looked at the requirements for assistance for disability as a starting point. Any thoughts?
The potential for assistive technology in learning classrooms for students with disabilities is great. Its benefits include enhancing academic achievement in written expression, reading, mathematics, and spelling; improving organization; and fostering social acceptance.
As defined by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act Amendments of 1997 (IDEA), an assistive technology device is "any piece of equipment, or product system. . . that is used to increase, maintain, or improve functional capabilities of individuals with disabilities" [Part A, Sec. 602(1)].
What information is passed on? How is the statement of educational needs used? How is the information in a statement presented? Is it usefull, accessible? Do teaching staff understand the technical information in a statement? Does the school/college disseminate the information to the teaching staff? Does it differ for students with physical disabilities rather than those with learning difficulties? How are learning disabilities referred to, is it the same difficulty referred to in many different ways?
We are about to start a survey on violence against children - what are the ethical considerations of conducting surveys with a sample that may include children with learning disabilities? any literature on the subject?

Is such a clinical self-questionnaire exists?
Thanks in advance for your answers
I am looking to construct a rationale for the need to supporting interventions for parents whose children may be referred to safeguarding services on the grounds of neglect when these parents have a diagnosed LD.
I would like to know whether there have been specific interventions identified to support these parents to raise their children safely, with nurturance and stimulation to help their development into adulthood. or whether some interventions focusing on parenting and/or the relationships between parents and children have been found to be adjustable to meet these parents' needs.
this could inform preventative strategies aiming at reducing the need to refer to safeguarding services if it is also found to be cost effective as compared with current safeguarding interventions such as foster care placements, residential homes or adoption.
Which could be the best instrument to measure:
1) readiness and capacity to resolve conflicts
2) ability to maintain and understand social relationships
3) interest and ability to communicate
4) ability to cooperate and provide information
Could anyone recommend references about implementation of meeting space for individuals with intellectual disabilities ?
I work with children and have often wondered about later in life if children who have Executive Dysfunction skill deficits also later exhibit proportionally higher rates of dementia later in life such as Alzheimer's or other nonspecific dementia.
Is anyone doing or has done a comparative study to examine the efficacy of mindful awareness practices with other psychological treatment techniques such as Remedial training, Cognitive training and CBT in children with learning disabilities? I am looking for literature on this topic.
Most reading tests contain a Form A and Form B for test re-test.
If you wish to test longer term effects of a reading intervention - so that you have 4 testing points, is it detrimental to re-administer Forms A and B at a later date providing the Intervention and Control groups complete the same forms at the same time?
Or, does anyone know of any reading tests that contain 4 parallel forms?
Many thanks for your help in advance!

I am working with a young, highly able child K/1st grader who is struggling in a regular classroom setting with writing. His emotional state is a definite impediment to learning as he is presenting patterns of very poor behavior which exacerbate the situation.
I need resources which could answer:
- What is the current state of availability of social provision, more specifically, insurance, for children with learning disabilities in Malaysia and in the EU?
- What type of insurance are there for such applicants?
- What challenges do parents having such children face in terms of obtaining insurance policies for their children?
- Is it the current legal framework which is in place that inhibits social provision for such children?
Children will be having a variety of non-specific therapies, and the measure needs to be able to be completed by parents, and be considered valid and reliable.
I am working with a dataset of 60 subjects that had a set of behavioral patterns calculated during each month for 10 months total. So each subject has 10 time points with 15 variables (of varying, unknown significance) that comprise their developmental trajectory. This will be used to create a series of trajectory clusters that can be used to predict Word count at 18, 24, and 36 months, as well as binary information such as ASD or learning disability diagnosis. KML3d allows me to use multiple variables to create these clusters, but I'm struggling to find some ways to compare the results of different numbers of clusters, different quality criterion results, and other information about the clustering results. Any and all help or advice for where to look would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I am looking at the barriers to the implenatation and conitinued use of a multidisciplinary collaborative approach in England with learners with autism and other learning disabilities.

We are trying to transform the physical and educational environment in a university to make it inclusive. The objective is to raise awareness through the various actions to be conducted and have the students of the different faculties get involved and partners in this project. The ultimate objective is also to offer courses and/or have a professional curriculum for youth with learning disabilities or other types of disabilities which impedes them of having a degree.
It is common for dyslexic students to be given copies of written learning resources in advance of teaching sessions, so that they can prepare and don't need to be given extra reading time in class.
Should we be supporting dyslexic academics in a similar way by providing written materials such as conference papers and posters in advance?
Are dyslexic academics being prevented for engaging with scholarship and professional development as effectively as their non-dyslexic peers because there is a lack of support?
I'm interested in the views of both dyslexics and non-dyslexics.
As much as I have read, ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) has shown to be successful in teaching communication and/or social and verbal skills to children on the spectrum, who possess such disabilities. Owing to the fact there is no such a thing in my country, which is the way to learn it?

I am looking for some hands-on activities that could be utilized to educate a child with mild down syndrome, a moderate hearing defect and speech disorder.
Doing research on the ethics of testing adolescents.
I am interested in exploring any relationship between the acceptance of a difficulty (i.e. experienced symptoms) or a label / diagnosis of a disability (specifically interested in learning disabilities / difficulties, but I would love to hear about wider issues too) and how the individual accommodates or compensates for their difficulties, and how this may impact on their participation in mainstream settings (e.g. work / HE / other education and training).
Any ideas, references, names to google, papers or key search-terms would be very helpful!
Thanks.
p.s. I am aware that this is a contentious issue- as there could be a converse argument along the lines of there not being a need to accept labels of defectiveness as, according to a social model perspective, the conventions and expectations of society that are in fact disabling… (any references / discussion around this is just as welcome!)
