H.; Pasco, Greg; Pickles, Andrew; Tucker, Leslie; Volein, Agnes – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
Cognitive and adaptive behaviour abilities early in life provide important clinical prognostic information. We examined stability of such skills in children at high familial risk for ASD who either met diagnostic criteria for ASD at age 7 years (HR-ASD, n = 15) or did not (HR-non-ASD, n = 24) and low-risk control children (LR, n = 37),…

Redding, Sam; Twyman, Janet – Center on Innovations in Learning, Temple University, 2018
Teachers are accustomed to gathering and analyzing data that show what a student knows, has learned, and has not yet learned. With this information, aggregated for the class, the teacher may alter her lesson plans to accelerate her pace or slow down to reteach. She may make notes to alter the lesson design for the next time she teaches the lesson.…
