School teachers devote time to facilitate learning as well as behavior management to produce an environment of positive learning. For the typically-developing youth, most behavioral management interventions are successful to deter problematic behaviors and conduct compliance. However, for youth who have conduct disorder, the usual behavioral…

Studies of the association between dyslexia and mental health have typically tried to minimise the influence of dyslexia comorbidities on the outcomes. However, in the "real world", many children with dyslexia have these comorbidities. In this study, we tested (1) if children with dyslexia with three common comorbidities -- inattention,…

This book is an evidence-based, practical guide to enable pre- and in-service teachers, system, school, and middle leaders to maximise students' understanding of classroom teaching and assessment, improving outcomes and expanding opportunities for all students. Developing accessible assessment and pedagogy is especially critical when students have…

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Korean Behavior Assessment System for Children 3rd Edition Teacher Rating Scales--Child Form (K·BASC-3 TRS-C). We used the generalized partial credit model based on item response theory (IRT) to examine the internal validity of the scale's items and the latent trait in a…

Students with language and/or attentional difficulties are present in all classrooms, but evidence indicates they are poorly identified and supported. Reasonable adjustments are a legislative requirement, but these are often generic and fail to address instructional barriers. Students are uniquely placed to report on the pedagogical implications…

Restricted interests and repetitive behaviors (RRBs) are core symptoms of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and commonly occur in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Little is known about how RRBs manifest in ADHD. We quantified and compared factor structures of RRBs in children with ASD (n = 634) or ADHD (n = 448), and related factors…

Background: Adult ADHD has increasingly become a focus in adult psychiatry. Despite well-established diagnostic criteria and specific therapeutic approaches, contemporary discussions often dismiss ADHD as a "fad." This study examines Carl Gustav Jung's 1904 concept of "manic mood" and its potential alignment with the modern…

Background: This review aimed to systematically review and synthesize qualitative evidence of the experiences of adults with ADHD who engage in stimulant medication treatment. A secondary aim was to establish the factors that influence adherence behavior regarding stimulant medication treatment for ADHD and appraise the quality of existing…

Success in postsecondary education requires proficiency with academic online information seeking. Navigating the internet to find information is a complicated task that is vulnerable to lapses in attention. This study examined the relationships among Canadian graduate students' self-reported behavioral inattention symptoms, awareness and…

Purpose: Reported ear and hearing difficulties (rEHD) are known to be associated with reading difficulties as well as mental health problems. In this study, we aim to examine the relationship between reading and mental health in children with rEHD. Method: In this study, we used structural equation modeling to measure the strength of longitudinal…

Students with disabilities have higher rates of attention problems than those without disabilities. This can impede their academic success and postsecondary transition, but these effects have not been well-studied. Understanding these effects is especially critical among high school girls with disabilities who additionally experience significant…

Student experience of Assessment for Learning (AfL) pedagogies ideally provides multiple entry points for students to take past learning forward into future learning. In practice, points of disconnection may confound the accessibility of AfL's repertoire of practices. This paper investigates the AfL experiences of students with likely language and…

Objectives: Although extensive research has documented associations between Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and differences in resting-state electroencephalography (EEG) oscillatory activity, the causal nature of these relationships remains uncertain. This study aimed to determine whether there is a causal relationship between…

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are associated with adaptive function impairments. This study measured adaptive functioning in a sample of 92 children with ASD, including 80 children with co-occurring ADHD. Regression models examined whether ASD and ADHD symptom severity were associated with…
