Purpose: Sentence repetition (SR) is a promising task for identifying children at risk for developmental language disorder (DLD) but is unclear how to calibrate the task for adults. In verbal recall, the frequency of language structures affects adults with DLD differently from peers with typical language (TL), particularly near the limits of…

Background: School absenteeism and health have a close bidirectional link: children with medical conditions miss more school, and chronic absenteeism is tied to poor health outcomes. Despite rising absenteeism, tools to assess school attendance in healthcare settings remain underexplored. Brief, standardized attendance screening may help address…

We compared the epilepsy phenotypes in children with genetically defined versus undefined autism spectrum disorder (ASD). A single-center retrospective study was conducted to investigate diagnostic yields of different genetic testing for children with ASD. Patients with at least one testing modality were included and classified as having…

Operational definitions have a significant history in applied behavior analysis. The practice's importance stems from the role operational definitions play in detecting an event, human thought, or action. While operationalizing target behaviors has enjoyed widespread practice, some concerns have recently arisen with translation validity and…

This study explores the capability of academic staff assisted by the Turnitin Artificial Intelligence (AI) detection tool to identify the use of AI-generated content in university assessments. 22 different experimental submissions were produced using Open AI's ChatGPT tool, with prompting techniques used to reduce the likelihood of AI detectors…

The number of Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs; institutions of higher education that enroll 25% or more Hispanic/Latino students) in the United States continues to rise at a rapid rate every year. Yet, practitioners and scholars alike still seek ways to better understand the impact and value of an HSI organizational identity and how…

For young adults entering college, social pressures can exert significant psychological stress. For Caribbean nationals, these challenges can be exacerbated by experiences with the U.S. racial binary framed by the rule of hypodescent --the one drop rule. Using testimonio as method and borrowing elements of critical autoethnography, I delve into…

Aims: People with a learning disability are at increased risk of becoming homeless, but little is known about how learning disability is viewed by people accessing homeless services. This study aimed to obtain the views of people experiencing homelessness about learning disability, in the context of a project that was exploring how to increase…

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that includes social-communication deficits and repetitive and stereotypical behaviours (APA 2022). Neurobiological methods of studying ASD are a promising methodology for identifying ASD biomarkers. Mu rhythms (Mu) have the potential to shed light on the socialisation deficits that…

Context: Adopting diverse perspectives is increasingly important for athletic trainers (ATs) to provide care that fosters inclusion for all patients. Despite the NATA's commitment to diversity, NATA membership remains approximately 80% White. Additionally, although ATs work with people from ethnically diverse backgrounds with unique body…

The purpose of this study was to gain insight into the lived experiences of queer Latino men in the community college borderlands and how community college spaces shape the activation and deactivation of their identities. Twenty-one queer Latino men enrolled in San Diego County community colleges provided insight into the role that interlocking…

This non-experimental causal-comparative study aims to explore the possible effect of expertise on learning experience design (LXD) deviation identification and the classification of these deviations in alignment with provided learning experience design constructs within a learning technology. Additionally, this study challenges Nielsen's (1993)…

As colleges and universities seek to invigorate ethics education, they need methods to identify where and describe how ethics is already present across their curricula. Meeting this need is complicated by the fact that much ethics education occurs in courses not explicitly focused on ethics or morality. In this paper, we review recent…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) can foster education but can also be misused to breach academic integrity. Large language models like ChatGPT are able to generate solutions for individual assessments that are expected to be completed independently. There are a number of automated detectors for AI assisted work. However, most of them are not dedicated…

We analyze student-level data on elementary special education identification in Washington state to explore how identification rates changed during the COVID-19 pandemic. We find that special education identification rates dropped dramatically in March 2020 through the end of the 2019-20 school year and remained below historical norms throughout…
