Abstract: Meta‐analysis is one approach for synthesizing research studies to identify generally effective instructional practices for students with learning disabilities (LD). In this article, we define core components of meta‐analytic literature reviews, discuss how to interpret findings from meta‐analyses, and provide guidelines for how research consumers can utilize meta‐analyses to guide instructional practices for students with LD. We conclude that meta‐analyses provide valuable information for determining evidence‐based practices for students with LD. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
