There has been significant research on the association between hearing loss and academic achievement. However, many studies do not disaggregate by degree of hearing loss. Therefore, the risks to school performance posed by unilateral and mild bilateral hearing loss are not well understood, despite prevalence studies suggesting that 2.4 to 23% of…

Background: Canadians with intellectual disabilities experience barriers in accessing federal government services and programmes. Evolving from established models of patient navigation, service navigation has emerged as a potential way to address systematic barriers. Methods: A scoping review was conducted with a search strategy implemented across…

Background: Individuals with intellectual disability in the United States have historically been underemployed due to societally constructed barriers. Recently, more individuals with intellectual disability have been attending Inclusive Postsecondary Education (IPSE) programmes, which have contributed to improving their employment outcomes.…

As more students with learning disabilities pursue higher education, college and university faculty are faced with facilitating courses that must meet the needs of diverse learners. In contrast to the teaching criteria for K-12 teachers, postsecondary education professors are hired for their subject matter expertise without any teaching licensure…

This study explored the impact of inclusive education on academic motivation, academic self-efficacy, and well-being of students with learning disability (LD). Three groups of students (students with LD studying in special schools, students with LD studying in inclusive schools, and students without LD studying in inclusive schools) were compared…

Deinstitutionalisation has increased the likelihood of adults with intellectual disabilities residing in neighbourhoods either in staff-supported accommodation or in their family home. However, it raises the question of whether national policies on disability have translated into practice actions by service providers that result in positive social…

Background: Individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities are vulnerable to potentially traumatic events and trauma sequelae. Despite ongoing advances surrounding trauma and intellectual/developmental disabilities, trauma-specific treatments are needed for people with intellectual/developmental disabilities. This study explores the…

Challenging behaviour is a problematic issue for students with intellectual disability, including those in special education settings. While there is a need to address challenging behaviour in these schools, most Vietnamese classroom teachers struggle to deal with those behaviours due to their lack of effective strategies. In response, this first…

Types of mathematical learning disability (MLD) are very heterogeneous. Lower scores on mathematics and several cognitive skills have been revealed in samples with MLD compared with those with typical development (TD), but these studies vary in sample selection, making it difficult to generalize conclusions. Furthermore, many studies have…

Aim: This study was carried out in order to examine whether there is a difference between the quality of life and motor skills of children with intellectual disability who participate in physical education activities and those who do not participate.

Performance for three independent living tasks were examined via task analyses. Given the relatively small sample size (n = 56) of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, we simulated 1000 replications based upon observed results using Monte Carlo techniques. The results of the current study suggest that: (1) adaptive…

Students with intellectual and other developmental disabilities often require substantial support to acquire the skills needed to secure work experience and paid employment. Prior findings suggest that video prompting is likely to be an effective and feasible strategy for establishing such skills. To evaluate this possibility in a special…
