Purpose: Access to intervention is a barrier for children with autism.

Nationally, students who are parents (known as parenting students or student parents) make up nearly 1 in 5 undergraduates. Though they earn similar grades to non-parenting students on average, student parents are much less likely to complete college credentials, even when controlling for personal characteristics and institution type. There is a…

Growing evidence links early life adversity (ELA), including Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and unpredictability, to disrupted health and development. This knowledge has led to increased screening for ELA in primary care settings and provided new opportunities to further research associations between ELA and health. It is imperative to…

Chinese students make up the largest and second largest group of internationals in U.S. and Canadian universities, yet they receive scant attention in terms of how they decide to study transnationally in North America. Most of the research on Chinese families' study abroad decision-making has been conducted with those from first tier eastern…
