Objective: We investigated the right Superior Frontal Gyrus (right-SFG) and Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC) in children with ADHD and their clinical relevance with Executive Function (EF) and ADHD symptom severity. Methods: About 26 children with ADHD and 24 typically developing children (TDC; 7--16 years) underwent Magnetic Resonance Imaging…

Purpose: Family Peer Advocates (FPA) are used in healthcare broadly to facilitate engagement and address disparities in care. We previously reported on the benefit of FPAs in the care of autistic children on caregiver stress. Caregivers of autistic children report significant levels of caregiver stress, in particular when associated with…

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome (CDS) symptoms in children/adolescents and their parents within the Turkish population, examining the association with co-occurring ADHD symptoms, peer/social relationships, and total difficulties. Method: The study included 229 parents aged 18 to…

Background/purpose: Neurodiversity, including ASD, ADHD, and dyslexia, has a powerful impact on the learning processes and interaction with education. As fairness issues are growing in technology-enhanced learning (TEL), it is high time to trace research trends and critical contributors, as well as release new themes in this area. This paper…

Traditional education, characterized by rigid curricula and inflexible teaching methods, often fails to accommodate the diverse cognitive profiles of neurodivergent learners, including those with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and dyslexia. Although e-Learning has introduced greater flexibility and…

The study investigated the amount of extended time (ET) used by postsecondary students with learning disabilities, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and psychological disorders granted a 50% ET accommodation (i.e., time and one-half). Extended time used was evaluated by disability type, including comorbid presentations, and year in…

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is characterized by inattentive, hyperactive, and impulsive behaviors. Impairment in individuals diagnosed with ADHD is significant; one such domain of impairment is achieving a college education. College students with ADHD tend to have lower grade point averages, take longer to graduate, and have…

Children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) combined with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) symptoms (ADHD + ASD) have poorer social and emotional functioning than those with ADHD alone. However, no studies have specifically examined the associations between ASD symptoms, measures of social and emotional functioning and limbic…

Functional communication training (FCT) reduces escape-maintained challenging behavior but can result in time away from instruction. Instructional time could be maintained if interventions incorporated academic interventions like curricular revision. We compared FCT with extinction to a curricular-revision treatment package involving antecedent…

Costa Rica has developed a modality for people in vulnerable conditions to remain in the education system called "Educación Abierta," Spanish for "Open Education." This modality is described, and a lack of specific research is identified regarding minors with a disability and deprived of liberty. This article acknowledges the…

No study has analyzed the relative occurrence of a broad range of symptoms reported by mothers of children with autism, ADHD-Combined, and ADHD-Inattentive and typical controls. Mothers rated 1436 children with autism, 1056 with ADHD without autism, and 186 controls, 2-17 years, on 41 internalizing, externalizing, neurodevelopmental, and somatic…

The current study explored the experiences of graduate students and trainees who have been diagnosed with specific learning disabilities (SLD) or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and who are currently enrolled in APA-accredited graduate psychology programs in the United States. More specifically, this study focused on these graduate…

Students who have been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are impacted by ADHD in their academic pursuits in higher education. The purpose of this study was to investigate, explore, understand, and offer a voice to the students directly affected by ADHD. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight students,…

Research has shown discrepancies between the rates of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) diagnosis and diverse racial/cultural groups. Whereas ADHD is believed to occur in equal proportions in the Caucasian and African-American communities, African-Americans are far less likely to be diagnosed and treated for ADHD (Hervey-Jumper,…

The unprecedented school closures in response to COVID-19 have been associated with a number of negative impacts on students and their families. In addition to these difficulties, parents of students with disabilities are faced with prepandemic stresses and challenges that may be exacerbated by the school closures. This qualitative study aimed to…
