My review was conducted in order to provide me with research-based findings that could assist me in developing a better means of providing remediation to students who exhibit mathematics difficulties (Evans, 2008). In my review of articles, there were three specific student disability groups that were identified and referenced throughout the research: students exhibiting mathematics and concurring reading disabilities (MD-RD students), students exhibiting reading disabilities but not exhibiting mathematics disabilities (RD-only students), and students exhibiting mathematics disabilities but not exhibiting reading disabilities (MD-only students) (Bryant, 2005; Bryant & Bryant, 2008; Evans, 2008; Fuchs, Fuchs, & Prentice, 2004; Knopik, Alarcόn, & …

Dejerine first spoke of alexia, or the inability to read, which seemingly resulted from brain lesions in the temporal lobe. Since then, psychologists and educational professionals have researched dyslexia as well as the broad category of reading disabilities to find possible causes. Many theories and possible causes have surfaced as a result of this research. Most notably, research has identified …
