Students with disabilities constitute approximately 15% of the entire student population, and the majority of those students receive their instruction in general education classes alongside their peers. Despite the growing momentum to introduce computer science (CS) into K-12 instruction, however, little research has been done on meeting the needs of these learners. The goals of this project are to (1) investigate the challenges that students with learning disabilities face during CS instruction, and (2) develop interventions to address those challenges based on research-based practices from other content areas. Areas of focus include Universal Design for Learning (UDL), balancing explicit instruction within open-ended CS activities, and encouraging student collaboration. To accomplish these goals, the project employs a mixed-methods research design within three rounds of data collection. First, it examines specific barriers and then progresses to two iterative studies of computing instruction that include strategies that support struggling learners. Data sources include teacher interviews, classroom observations, student artifact-based interviews, and analysis of video screen capture of students? computing activities for measures of persistence, collaborative problem solving, adaptive help seeking, and computational thinking (CT).

残疾学生约占学生总数的15%，其中大多数学生与同龄人一起接受普通教育课程的指导。尽管将计算机科学（CS）引入K-12教学的势头越来越大，然而，关于满足这些学习者需求的研究却很少。这个项目的目标是：(1)调查有学习障碍的学生在CS教学中面临的挑战，(2)根据其他内容领域的研究实践制定干预措施来解决这些挑战。重点领域包括通用学习设计（UDL），在开放式CS活动中平衡明确的教学，以及鼓励学生合作。为了实现这些目标，该项目在三轮数据收集中采用混合方法研究设计。首先，它检查了具体的障碍，然后进展到计算教学的两个迭代研究，其中包括支持困难学习者的策略。数据来源包括教师访谈、课堂观察、基于学生工件的访谈以及对学生视频截图的分析。用于度量持久性、协作解决问题、自适应寻求帮助和计算思维（CT）的计算活动。
