This study aims to investigate the perception of phonological, grammatical, and semantic structures by 8 children (age range: 8;2-9;5) with developmental language disorders (DLD). Another 8 age-matched (age range: 8;4-10;0) typically developing (TD) children served as controls. The results demonstrated that children with DLD had lower performance…

Background: Much of the research and program innovation regarding future planning for adults with intellectual disabilities has occurred in countries with well-developed disability service systems.

Background: In recent years, third-wave therapies have risen to prominence. Research into adapting and evaluating third-wave therapies for adults with intellectual disabilities has identified that third-wave therapies are accessible, acceptable, and effective (improving a range of symptoms and skills). Method: This meta-ethnography followed Noblit…

Background: Athletes with intellectual disability represent a unique population who experiences the contrasting effects of cognitive deficits and benefits of sports on balance. This study investigated the combined impact of intellectual disability and sport practice on balance. Method: Center-of-pressure excursion in bipedal stance of 2 disability…

This study examined the effects of rotating listener (match and point) and speaker (tact and intraverbal-tact) responses…

This paper takes up the struggles of doing of post-qualitative inquiry for inclusion and teacher education for inclusion. As collaborators who have taken different turns in the quest to understand posthumanist methodology, broadly speaking, we write with different voices. We take up two important themes--identity/ethics and becoming--to venture…

Background: Falls are common among people with intellectual disabilities. Many falls happen within the home.
