Literacy skills are acquired during childhood through 'code-related activities', which are interactions and practices that directly engage children with written words. This study presents a scoping review and meta-analysis of 18 peer-reviewed articles that explore the relationship between these code-related activities and early literacy skills.…

Purpose: This study aims to synthesize existing findings in the gig worker training literature and identify the training rationales adopted by these studies, using a synthesized framework of organizational training rationales. This study seeks to delineate the rationales behind gig worker training and highlight unaddressed training needs within…

A developmental milestone that both contributes to and facilitates a successful transition into adulthood is the ability to drive. Yet only one in three autistic adolescents successfully obtain a driver's license by age 21 compared to over three-fourths of non-autistic adolescents.
