Shifrer, D., Callahan, R. (2010) Technology and Communications Coursework: Facilitating the Progression of Students with Learning Disabilities Through High School Science and Math Coursework. Journal of Special Education Technology, 25(3), 65-67.
Authors Dara Shrifrer and Rebecca Callahan wrote the article to compare students with learning disabilities and students with learning disabilities and their differences when dealing with STEM-oriented class work. The avenue looked into by the authors was using technology and communications coursework to help students with learning disabilities in non-core classes which would then in turn help them to perform better in STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics). 'Incorporating technology into the lesson is a widely advocated pedagogical strategy for this generation of students, and is thought particularly to facilitate the academic development of students with LD'. 'Finally placement in non-core courses may provide students with LD a fresh context for learning.' Using a weighted descriptive statistics chart, found in the article, teachers can find out what level students should perform at for each subject according to their social background, grade and LD versus non-LD.
