The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) will convene a conference to set an agenda for research and future activities for teaching science and mathematics to K-12 students with learning disabilities (LD). Conference participants will be invited from three groups of experts: teachers who have successfully taught science and mathematics to precollege and post-secondary students with LD; neuroscientists; and cognitive scientists. Neuroscientists will explain the physical workings of the human brain in the context of learning and conscious knowing, how the brain bypasses dysfunctional pathways, and new technologies that help us understand the brain. Cognitive scientists will explain how people generally learn and how people with LD learn differently. Teachers will discuss the tests that measure various learning limitations and the successful strategies they use in teaching science and mathematics to K-12 students with those limitations. Participants will be directed to develop the agenda for the future. The primary goals of the conference are: 1) identification of barriers that prevent K-12 students with learning disabilities from fully participating in science, mathematics, engineering and technology (SMET) educational opportunities; 2) the development of an agenda for research and future activities to remove the barriers; 3) the dissemination of the collective expertise of conference participants to interested staff at NSF and AAAS, to each other, and to other leaders in the LD education community. Secondary goals include: 1) a contribution to efforts to assure equal access to science and mathematics learning for students with learning disabilities by fostering a cross-disciplinary approach to the underlying problems; 2) creation of a core group of experts to address the educational needs of students with LD over a long period of time in the future.

美国科学促进会(AAAS)将召开一次会议，为K-12学习障碍学生(LD)的科学和数学教学研究和未来活动制定议程。会议参与者将从三组专家中邀请：成功地向患有学习障碍的预科学生和大专学生教授科学和数学的教师；神经科学家；以及认知科学家。神经学家将解释人类大脑在学习和有意识认知的背景下的物理工作，大脑如何绕过功能失调的通路，以及帮助我们理解大脑的新技术。认知科学家将解释人们通常是如何学习的，以及患有学习障碍的人如何不同地学习。教师将讨论衡量各种学习限制的测试，以及他们在向有这些限制的K-12学生教授科学和数学时使用的成功策略。与会者将被指导制定未来的议程。会议的主要目标是：1)确定阻碍有学习障碍的K-12学生充分参与科学、数学、工程和技术(SMET)教育机会的障碍；2)制定研究议程和未来消除这些障碍的活动；3)向NSF和AAAS感兴趣的工作人员、彼此以及LD教育界的其他领导人传播与会者的集体专业知识。次级目标包括：1)通过促进以跨学科方法解决根本问题，为确保有学习困难的学生平等地学习科学和数学作出贡献；2)建立一个核心专家小组，以解决学习困难学生今后长期的教育需求。
