Purpose: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a multifactorial disorder that has been linked to increased risk for behavioral, academic, and interpersonal problems. Developmental language disorder (DLD) has also been linked to poor outcomes in these areas. The presence of co-occurring disorders in children's profiles is generally…

Early intervention (EI) services--including but not limited to speech, physical, occupational, and mental health therapies--have been proven to significantly benefit young children's development, shaping their readiness for school and offering pivotal support for caregivers. However, racial disparities persist in identification for and access to…

Background: Eighty-five percent of medical research goes to waste, partly because it is not appropriately communicated to stakeholders. This represents a critical issue for the research community, especially because individuals who are impacted by research should be able to readily access that research. Making research findings accessible to key…

Objective: ADHD symptoms are highly prevalent among university students. These symptoms, particularly the inattentive cluster, predispose students to poorer academic performance and worse academic adjustment. Moreover, ADHD symptoms are often comorbid with other common mental disorders; this comorbidity also leads to poor outcomes. South African…

Objective: We examined how mentorship, remote participation, and COVID-19 challenges were associated with the mental health of college students participating in summer research programs. Participants: Participants were students participating in 78 National Science Foundation (NSF) Research Experiences for Undergraduate (REU) Sites during Summer…

Medicaid is the fourth largest federal funding source for K-12 schools, supporting over $7.5 billion of school-based health services every year. If Congress cuts Medicaid, states -- and school districts -- will receive less funding. This will force states and local communities to increase taxes and reduce or eliminate various programs and…

Equality, diversity and inclusion are values deeply embedded in teacher education in Scotland. For this reason, courses in teacher education provide an opportunity for students, and indeed their educators, to critically reflect upon the ways in which Education (re)produces and may break down social inequalities. Students at one Scottish university…

The research compares teachers working in regular primary schools with those working in special primary schools (for students with mild intellectual disabilities) regarding their emotion regulation strategies and their self-assessed mental health. The sample consisted of 114 Slovenian teachers from regular schools and 60 teachers from special…

This study aims to identify the barriers limiting stakeholder participation in inclusive and language education, and to develop strategies aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Using visual-adaptive questionnaires, interviews, and case studies across three regions in Uzbekistan, the study explored awareness, collaboration, and…

Educating English learners (ELs) in inclusive classrooms requires a team of educators with diverse expertise and knowledge in culturally and linguistically responsive assessment and instruction. To address the unique needs of ELs, we offered three graduate-level courses to the educators over a 9-month period. Teams of three to five educators from…

Embodied learning, learning while executing physical activities, is effective, but understudied in secondary education. Furthermore, classrooms often lack space for movement, making it challenging for pupils to engage in embodied learning. To stimulate learning through design, designers can rely on the affordance theory. The current study examines…

This study maps global trends, thematic concentrations and collaboration networks in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)-based special education research by examining 458 publications published in the Web of Science database between 2010 and 2025 through bibliometric analysis. The results reveal that STEM education encompasses…

Supporters of school vouchers claim that school vouchers provide greater educational opportunity for students with disabilities. Numerous critics counter that in exchange for this purported increase in opportunity, students with disabilities lose protections under the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). This article contributes to…

Purpose: The overall goal of the current study was to determine whether noise type plays a role in perceptual quality ratings. We compared quality ratings using various noise types and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) ranges using hearing aid simulations to consider the effects of hearing aid processing features. Method: Ten older adults with bilateral…

Over the past decade, ever since the ratification of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities (UN-CRPD) in Germany, a morally charged debate has taken place about inclusive and special education. Special schools are under considerable attack and even special education is deemed responsible for the difficulties in…
