In this paper, studies that evaluated the effectiveness of mathematics teaching strategies to learning disabled students are reviewed. A thorough literature search revealed 30 studies that evaluated reinforcement and goal-setting on seat work performance, specific strategies for computation and problem solving, mnemonic strategies, peer mediation, and computer-assisted instruction. Virtually all instructional procedures were said to be effective by the authors. Further research can help evaluate the effectiveness of instructional approaches designed to influence mathematical reasoning, such as constructivism, and help tic the effectiveness of instruction with specific characteristics of learning disabilities.
