Writing Interventions for Students with Learning Disabilities: A Scoping Review
Young, Murphy K.; Rouse, Amy Gillespie; Datchuk, Shawn
Learning Disabilities: A Contemporary Journal, v20 n2 p129-148 2022
This scoping review provides a comprehensive overview of available experimental research on writing interventions for K-12 students with learning disabilities (LD). After conducting a systematic search across multiple databases, journals, and previous meta-analyses, we located a total of 194 studies. Each study included in this review met the following criteria: (1) used an experimental, quasi-experimental, or single-subject design; (2) involved a writing intervention; (3) focused on participants who were K-12 students with LD; (4) reported at least one assessment of student writing outcomes at posttest; and (5) was published in English. We coded each study for study-level, participant, intervention, and outcome characteristics. We found a declining rate of publication in the studies we reviewed. A majority of studies (58%) involved group designs, and, on average, study participants were in the middle grades (M = 6.48, SD = 2.36). Half of all studies were conducted in special education settings and most (76%) focused on discourse-level (i.e., extended composition) writing interventions. However, many of the included studies did not report important demographic, setting, and interventionist characteristics. Results from this scoping review provide a wide-angle view of the current field of writing interventions for students with LD and highlight areas where additional research may be necessary.
