The present research examines the construction and activation of cognitive schemata corresponding to subtraction-compare and subtraction-equalize math word problems by primary school students with specific learning disabilities. In order to facilitate the participants in developing their cognitive schemata, we utilized multiple ways of knowledge representation (manipulatives, pictures, and arithmetic symbols) in the context of an intervention based on the principles of effective instruction. In order to evaluate the results, assessments were conducted prior and immediately after the implementation of the intervention, as well as three weeks after its completion. It was found that participants performed significantly better in problem solving both after the intervention and at follow-up, proving that they benefited from the instruction they had received. Results are discussed in regard to organizing appropriate instruction for students with mathematical difficulties and disabilities.

This article focuses on proving whether there are differences among children with or without learning disabilities when choosing coping strategies that may be functional to solve problematic situations. The participants were 32 children with learning disabilities and 32 children without learning disabilities aged between 8 and 11. Results show that children with learning disabilities have less often coping behaviour rather than their peers with typical development. This demonstrates the need to opt for educational actions as soon as possible fostering suitable strategies in order to face problematic situations.
