Background: Persons with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD) risk exclusion, both in research and as members of society. Because of their embodied communication, they face the challenges in being understood. Oftentimes, others speak on their behalf making inferences on what their perspective might be. Methods: Empathy is suggested…

Ting-Yu Chueh; Jia-Hao Wu; Wei-Kang Hung; Cheng-Chen Pan; Chien-Chih Chou; Chung-Ju Huang; Chien-Ting Wu – Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 2025
Background: Individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID) typically exhibit cognitive deficits. While single bouts of physical activity (PA) have shown cognitive benefits in typically developing individuals, the effects on those with ID are unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of single bouts of PA on cognition in…

Daniel B. Hajovsky; Kathrin E. Maki; Christopher R. Niileksela; Ryan J. McGill – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2025
Although specific learning disabilities (SLD) represent the largest category for which school-age children receive special education services, the science and practice of SLD identification continues to evade consensus. Our goal is to bring together trainers and researchers with different perspectives on SLD identification to help spur a move…

According to the SEND Code of Practice (DfE, 2015), cognition and learning difficulties encompass a wide range of needs, including general and specific learning difficulties. These difficulties affect various areas of learning including literacy, numeracy, and the acquisition of subject-specific knowledge and skills and may be linked to underlying…

Kevin Darcy Jr. – ProQuest LLC, 2024
This dissertation examines the experiences of people with disabilities in academia. It is oriented autoethnographically by my own experiences, and those of other students and faculty, to make vivid the phenomenological realities of living on crip time, navigating independence, the cognitive load of disability, and disclosure management. I argue…

Procedural learning difficulties are commonly reported in children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD), yet the neural basis of this impairment remains unclear. This study addressed this gap by examining the correlation between cortical oscillatory activity and procedural learning of a sequence of finger movements in children with and…

Evgenia-Peristera Kouki; Antriani Tsagkaraki; George C. Spanoudis; Timothy C. Papadopoulos – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2025
Research on neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) has led us to refine our theoretical and methodological approaches. We explore whether new deficit clusters in line with the Research Domain Criteria, a novel multifactorial framework, optimally explain known conditions such as ADHD, DLD, or SLD in reading. Following the PRISMA guidelines for…

Cognitive training (CT) programmes have gained popularity, but their efficacy remains debated. This study evaluates the impact of technology-based CT intervention on cognitive skills in adolescents with autism spectrum disorder and/or mild intellectual disability, aiming to improve cognitive functioning. Four adolescents with autism spectrum…

Information processing in children with intellectual disabilities is crucial for understanding their cognitive development, recognizing their deficits in learning information and individualizing educational programs. The aim of this study was to explore the implementation experiences of special education teachers and elementary school teachers…

Sarah Schulze; Jan Kuhl – Learning Disabilities: A Contemporary Journal, 2024
This study examines the effects of a working memory (WM) sensitive math intervention in students with learning disabilities (LD). The intervention aims to improve early mathematical competencies while accounting for weak cognitive resources through a reduced instructional design. These principles are considered to be effective for learning. Ten…

Igier, Suzanne; Valérie, Pennequin – Journal of Intellectual Disabilities, 2023
Background: Few studies have evaluated the explanatory factors of poor performance and the effects of context in adults with intellectual disabilities. The aim of this study is to assess the role of a familiar experimenter on their cognitive performance, well-being, metacognitive experiences, and social behaviors. Method: Participants with…

College students with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) exhibit difficulty in lecture notetaking, a key study skill supporting learning and academic achievement. Higher ADHD symptoms, particularly inattentive symptoms, are related to more sensorimotor difficulties, which may make taking handwritten notes difficult, thus disrupting…

Do ADHD and SLD Children Differ in Executive Functions and Behavioural Problems? A Comparative Study
Ali Sharifi; Faramarz Asanjarani – Journal of Research in Special Educational Needs, 2024
It is well-known that children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and specific learning disorder (SLD) often exhibit behavioural and emotional problems. However, little is known about how these problems compare between the two groups of children. This study sought to fill this gap in knowledge by comparing the executive functions…

Schott, Nadja – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2023
Research has shown that nonright-handedness in children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) is associated with poorer motor and cognitive performance. This study investigated the influence of degree and direction of handedness on performance using the Home Handedness Questionnaire, the Hitthe-Dot test, the Movement Assessment Battery…
