Specifically, we examine whether attending SBPK is associated with difference rates of disability diagnosis or receiving an Individualized Education Program (IEP) in elementary school, grades K through 5. Using data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study—Kindergarten Class of 2010–11 (ECLS-K: 2010–11), we analyzed 8,990 children who attended either SBPK or CBPK. Results indicate that SBPK attendance is associated with higher rates of disability diagnosis and IEPs in early elementary grades (K-2), suggesting that SBPK settings may offer better resources for identifying and supporting children with disabilities. Implications are discussed.","PeriodicalId":48042,"journal":{"name":"Remedial and Special Education","volume":"217 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144766149","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To assess the impacts of the intervention, a multiple probe design across the participants was employed to visualize the functional relations between the intervention and dependent measures. Following the intervention, all students demonstrated improvements in their MW performance. They wrote longer paragraphs, skillfully used the strategy, and showed qualitative enhancements in their written mathematical problem-solving and reasoning. However, the maintenance and generalization effects varied among the students.

For this partial replication study, we adapted the previous study’s coding structure to explore usability and feasibility of a professional development (PD) system designed to support teachers’ DBI use. Eleven special educators across two Midwestern school districts participated. Findings revealed teachers perceived supports such as alignment and structure as facilitators of DBI implementation; external conflicts remained challenges. Suggestions for teachers new to DBI were also generated from the data. Findings directly informed further revisions made to the PD system and continue to support teacher-level variables needed to promote teachers’ use of data-based practices.","PeriodicalId":48042,"journal":{"name":"Remedial and Special Education","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144766128","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This manuscript presents the findings of two studies that investigate the usability and feasibility of artificial intelligence (AI) systems to assist with performing research syntheses. In Study 1, participant demographics data coded by humans were compared against data extracted using ChatGPT-4 and Google Bard from 67 single case research design (SCRD) studies in which infants, toddlers, and young children participated. Both AIs achieved interobserver agreement values above 96% for data related to participants’ names, ages, genders, race/ethnicities, and disabilities/conditions. Study 2 compared the time it took two human coders to extract participant demographics data from an additional 40 SCRD studies against ChatGPT-4. ChatGPT-4 extracted data from the studies faster than the human coders. Alhough both AIs may not be ready to autonomously perform research syntheses, findings suggest that both can assist researchers with the coding process.","PeriodicalId":48042,"journal":{"name":"Remedial and Special Education","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144701992","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Utilizing propensity score analysis to mitigate selection bias, the study finds that students receiving only breaks tend to exhibit lower performance and engagement compared to those receiving ET alone or those receiving breaks bundled with ET. In addition, results suggest that bundling breaks with ET is associated with lower performance compared to ET alone. These findings highlight the complexities of interactions between accommodations and support the need for reevaluating current accommodation policies to enhance their effectiveness for students with disabilities.","PeriodicalId":48042,"journal":{"name":"Remedial and Special Education","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144193201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
