Childhood obesity has become a problem of epidemic proportions in the United States, but much of the research has focused on prevention and intervention programs, which target the general population of school children. Overlooked in the literature are children with special needs (including autism, genetic disorders, Down syndrome, and Prader-Willi…

Protheroe, Nancy; Clarke, Suzanne – Principal, 2008
In schools and classrooms across the country, educators are working to raise the achievement of all students to ever-higher levels.

Morrongiello, Barbara A.; Lasenby, Jennifer; Lee, Naomi – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2003
Two studies examined the impact of temporal synchrony on infants' learning of and memory for sight-sound pairs. Findings indicated that 7-month-olds had no difficulty learning auditory-visual pairs regardless of temporal synchrony, remembering them 10 minutes later and 1 week later. Three-month-olds showed poorer learning in no-synchrony than in…
