Many students with learning disabilities find it difficult to acquire basic reading skills. This is even more of a challenge for students who are non-vocal. The purpose of the present study was to pilot the use of Headsprout Early Reading (HER), an online reading programme, with four non-vocal students with a severe learning disability (SLD), over the course of a nine-week period.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether students with intellectual disabilities can improve their arithmetic skills by participating in an arithmetic intervention programme, theoretically founded on explicit instruction and administered via an application developed for tablet computers.

The aim of this study was to examine what kind of school performance and behaviour profiles could be identified among students in the final grade of basic education in the Swedish speaking parts of Finland (N = 1149, grade 9), how these differed in temperament and how temperament could explain profile differences in first language (L1, Swedish) grades, behaviour grades, and results from standardised reading tests.

The question addressed in this article is which properties of inclusive education are emphasized in collaborative projects aiming to improve the quality of education for pupils at risk and with special educational needs.
