Abstract
Students with DD have the same rights in education as their neurotypical peers. Due to the historical undervaluing of the abilities of disabled students however - as well as a scarcity of research on implementing evidence-based teaching strategies in ‘typical’ special school settings in the UK - there is a large gap in attainment between neurodivergent and neurotypical students (Department for Education, 2020b). This thesis focused on science and numeracy education for students with DD and explored adaptations that can be made to ensure evidence-based interventions are more accessible and feasible to implement in specials schools in the UK. Chapter 1 provided an overview of the literature on teaching academic skills to students with DD, explored how the bioecological model and the MRC complex intervention framework can inform educational research, and provided some considerations on implementing Systematic Instruction interventions in special schools. Chapters 2, 3 and 4 presented three empirical studies on teaching science and numeracy to students with DD. Chapters 5 and 6 described the development of a numeracy readiness programme for students with DD. Chapter 7 – the overall discussion –provided an overview of the findings and their implications, the limitations of this thesis, my own reflections on the thesis, and proposed recommendations for future research.
