Recently, there has been a growing demand for diversity and
inclusion in schools worldwide to ensure effective learning for
every student. Efforts have been made to support teachers in
promoting diversity in classrooms, but research shows that students
with learning disabilities (LD), including autism spectrum
disorder, neurodevelopmental disabilities, dyslexia, and executive
dysfunction, still struggle to keep up despite having
individualized education programs (IEPs). These students are not
receiving the necessary support they need to learn effectively in
the classroom, leaving them behind and often completely unprepared
for their futures. When intersectional statistics are taken into
account, students who have a learning disability and are among
minority ethnic groups have even lower rates of earning a diploma
than their counterparts. Changes in the educational system must be
made to close this learning chasm and create a more equitable
learning environment. Closing the Educational Achievement Gap for
Students With Learning Disabilities increases awareness of the
issue of inequalities in education for students with learning
disabilities through improved training programs for teachers,
recommendations for policy changes, and development of new
strategies to close the gap between these students and their
classmates. The goal of this book is to educate and empower
educators, researchers, and policymakers on how they can help
students with learning disabilities thrive academically and
emotionally. It examines the barriers that prevent teachers from
effectively providing instruction to these students. This book
covers topics such as achievement gaps, student-centered
approaches, and culturally responsive teaching and is ideal for
educators, professionals, researchers, special education
professionals, speech and occupational therapists, disability
service providers, intervention strategists, psychologists,
parents, and local communities.
