Scholarly Journals

Journal of Special Education Technology - JSET is a scholarly journal in Special Education that primarily publishes research articles and scholarly reviews around topics in Special Education. I chose to include this journal because it often publishes studies centered around interventions with students ranging from mild to severe disabilities which ties to work that I am interested in regarding students who struggle in mathematics.

Learning Disabilities Quarterly - LDQ publishes research around persons with learning disabilities looking to improve educational outcomes for this population.

Journal of Educational Psychology - This is one of the primary American Psychological Association Journals. Its primary purpose is the publication of psychological research concerning education on all levels.
