Abstract
Many different methods have been developed to remediate problems of students with disabilities. Research studies evaluating the relative effectiveness of such practices can be overwhelming to educators because of the sheer number of studies—hundreds—as well as the conflicting results produced by some investigations. In this article, we use meta-analyses to make sense of this research, offering general guidelines for best practice in special education.Keywords
