Naturalistic developmental behavioral interventions are an empirically supported intervention approach for young autistic children. Despite the prevalence of disruptive behaviors among autistic children, most manualized caregiver-mediated naturalistic developmental behavioral interventions include limited formal guidance on when and how to manage…

This dissertation explores conceptual and methodological issues related to measuring implementation in quantitative educational research. Implementation, defined as the enactment of interventions in educational contexts, plays a pivotal role in understanding how programs operate and affect student outcomes. Despite its importance, there is…

The concepts of metacognitive reflection, reflection, and metacognition are distinct but have undergone shifts in meaning as they migrated into medical education. Conceptual clarity is essential to the construction of the knowledge base of medical education and its educational interventions. We conducted a theoretical integrative review across…

Discussions of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) in education that do not show an impact regularly focus on the intervention and how it failed to impact on expected measures, with typologies identifying persistent critical points of failure. This paper uses one such RCT--the Integrating English programme--to exemplify the application of a new…

Designs have a technical range, specified by the conditions that guide their development. Such analogical spatial moments in the technical give rise to the elementary applied linguistic concept of technical extension or continuity on both the norm side and factual side. Examples are the dimensionality and internal coherence of a designed…

Beliefs and assumptions appear in many guises in applied linguistic designs. They illustrate the connections among technical life and the certitudinal sphere. On the norm side, these certitudinal anticipations appeal to designs that are trustworthy. Technical subjects are inspired by steadfastness and commitment to designing credible language…

The sharp increase in dementia and age-related memory impairments worldwide has made reminiscence-based interventions attractive. Past research is mixed with little focus on self-functioning. The aims of this study were (i) to develop and assess the implementation of a reminiscence-based intervention, Digital Life Story Books, grounded in…

This study aims to study the effect of active breaks on different executive functions regarding the intervention and the session length. A systematic review from January to April 2024 was conducted. The search was carried out in the Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, Eric, and PsycINFO databases. Active breaks are effective in promoting the…

Naturalistic developmental behavioral interventions (NDBIs) are evidence-based interventions for young children with autism spectrum disorder. There has been growing interest in implementing manualized NDBIs within the early intervention (EI) system without a clear understanding of how these programs and the broader strategies encompassed within…

Background: Interprofessional collaborative practices (IPCP) are considered to be a crucial factor in the optimal support of young children (3-6 years) with speech, language and communication needs (SLCN) in inclusive early childhood education and care (ECEC). Aims: To investigate IPCP in interventions using a collaborative approach for young…

As early identification of autism improves, there is a critical need for interventions to support the development of social communication skills in toddlers. Caregiver coaching and parental involvement is crucial for improving outcomes and providing children with adequate hours of planned active engagement. This pilot study assessed a 4-week…
