Controversies regarding the neurodiversity movement may be exacerbated by confusion over its meaning. For example, some suggest neurodiversity entails acceptance of the social model, whereas others describe it as more nuanced. We aimed to help resolve conflicting viewpoints by inviting insights from 504 autistic and autism community members (278…

This article critically examines inclusive education practices for children with disabilities in Nasarawa State, Nigeria, highlighting the persistent gap between national policies and on-the-ground implementation.

This study investigated the size of the impact that emotion-related interventions had on the alexithymia scores of children and young people and the effectiveness of these interventions in an independent special school. Additionally, the aim was to understand the needs of young people in specialist educational provisions more holistically to gain…

This study examined outcomes of a transition intervention program (i.e., Engage 100 course) for college students with disabilities during their first-semester transition to postsecondary education through a longitudinal experimental research design. Fifty students, 14 in an experimental group and 36 in a control group, were recruited from a public…

The emergence of generative AI (GenAI) has illustrated that higher education needs to adapt to the technology. Its speed of evolution requires that we adequately prepare students for an ever-changing landscape. Toward achieving that aim, we draw on the concept of interpretive flexibility, where the interpretations, uses, and outcomes of a new…

Researchers have repeatedly found schematic diagrams, both as part of Modified Schema Based Instruction and outside of this problem-solving approach, effective for teaching students with disabilities, including intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), to solve math word problems. The current study was a systematic replication of Bouck,…

Students with a TBI can present with a variety of functional impairments, such as fine motor and executive dysfunctions, which manifest in compromised written expression. The present study used brief experimental analysis (BEA) techniques to compare the effects of writing accommodations on the quantity and quality of writing of a high school…

This narrative literature review explores language as a precursor for developing children's psychosocial skills in war-torn areas. By utilising Bronfenbrenner's ecological theory, this study aimed to understand the lifelong consequences of early childhood language deprivation in war-stricken zones, thus suggesting intervention strategies to…

Interventions are crucial in the learning analysis process. Learning analytics-based interventions are being widely applied in the field of education. However, it is currently unclear whether learning analytics-based interventions effectively enhance students' learning effects. To conduct a comprehensive review assessing the extent to which…

Test anxiety is experienced in competence-based situations, such as tests and exams, where one is anxious and concerned about failure in performance outcomes.

Trauma significantly impacts students and educators, affecting learning, behaviour, and well-being. However, trauma-informed practices can promote resilience through school-wide strategies such as routines, SEL programs, and secure attachments. Classroom-specific approaches can support regulation and skill development by building emotional…

Self-regulation is the ability to control cognitive, behavioural and social-emotional processes in service of one's goals. In the preschool years, self-regulation develops rapidly, and during this period, it is influenced by the plasticity of the underlying neurofunctional circuits. Since good early self-regulation skills favour positive…
