Representations of diversity and otherness in cartoons offer metaphors for identity that can affect children's perceptions and attitudes towards the potential and challenges associated with various forms of disability. This contribution analyses a corpus of animations made up of feature films, series, and short films with a focus on how disability…

Timely diagnosis of dysphagia is important for people with an intellectual disability. Periodic screening of each individual by speech-language therapists is barely feasible with respect to limited resources. Therefore, preselection of individuals with an increased dysphagia risk through screening by caregivers is crucial. This study aimed to…

Nicolette Granata; Chyna Bacchus; Melanie Leguizamon; Jonathan D. Lane – Child Development, 2025
Children with disabilities often receive accommodations, but teachers rarely explain them to typically-developing (TD) classmates. How do TD students reason about these accommodations and evaluate their fairness? Five-, seven-, and nine-year-olds from the United States (N = 122; 50% female; 87.7% white; data collected April 2022-September 2023)…

Ton, Khanh That; Gaillard, J. C.; Adamson, Carole; Akgungor, Caglar; Ho, Ha Thanh – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2023

While critical realism is increasingly adopted in social inquiry, to date there remains little research that…
