Learning Disabilities: A Contemporary Journal, v22 n2 p145-173 2024
A scoping review was conducted to examine current Canadian research on learning disabilities (LD). Ninety-six articles were found in LD specific journals that were written by researchers from Canadian universities between 2013-2023. Their research could be incapsulated into 10 themes: (a) reading and literacy, (b) language and linguistics, (c) mathematics, (d) neurological and cognitive processes, (e) education and intervention, (f) social and environmental factors, (g) assessment and diagnosis, (h) psychological factors and well-being, (i) developmental and lifespan perspectives, and (j) research methods and theoretical frameworks. This review provides an overview of the research being done on LD in Canada and identifies areas in need of further investigation.
