Homework practices of students with and without learning disabilities: a comparison.

This article describes a study examining the homework practices of 48 students with learning disabilities and a matched sample of 48 nondisabled students. Students ranged in age from 11 to 15 years and attended Grades 6 through 8. Students in both groups completed the Student Survey of Homework Practices, a 27-item, Likert-type questionnaire examining students' homework practices and attitudes toward homework. Results indicated that although there were some similarities in the homework practices of both groups, the students with learning disabilities engaged to a significantly greater extent in practices that interfered with homework completion. Suggestions for increasing the homework completion rates of students with learning disabilities are provided.

Individualizing the Good Behavior Game across type and frequency of behavior with emotionally disturbed adolescents.

The effects of the Good Behavior Game (GBG) individualized across type and frequency of behavior were examined in three classes of severely behaviorally disordered students using a reversal design. The findings showed that the individualized GBG was effective in simultaneously decreasing a variety of inappropriate behaviors exhibited by the three classes, including inappropriate verbalizations, touching, negative comments, cursing, and drumming. Teacher and student satisfaction data indicated that both groups had positive reactions to the individualized GBG. Reasons for the success of the technique are discussed.
