Within the context of higher education, student conduct administration is drenched in risk, compliance with local and federal laws, and managing the evolving needs and demographics of students (Glick & Haug, 2020). In short, student conduct is a complex, and challenging functional area to work in, as administrators to balance educating…

Some autistic people use strategies to hide autistic behaviour and appear more neurotypical. Previous research has linked this 'social camouflaging' with mental health difficulties. This review synthesised qualitative research to explore the relationship between camouflaging and mental health. Thirteen studies were systematically identified,…

This study analyses the role of social support in Internet use, focusing on when it leads to problematic or functional use in male and female adolescents. Three research hypotheses state: (1) when offline social support is low, online social support leads to a problematic Internet use; (2) when offline social support is high, online social support…

Burnout is common among students and can negatively influence their motivation, performance, and wellbeing. However, there is currently little consensus regarding how to intervene effectively. Consequently, we provide the first systematic review and meta-analysis of studies examining the effectiveness of interventions aimed at reducing burnout in…

Background: The aim of many interventions used by speech and language therapists (SLTs) is to change behaviours related to communication and interaction. Parent-led language interventions for children in the early years (0-5 years) rely on SLTs supporting parents to change their behaviour in child-focused interactions to effect a change in the…

Objective: College students, particularly first-year students, are at risk for alcohol misuse and alcohol-related consequences (e.g., condomless sex). Our objective was to determine if first- and second-year students were more or less likely to report any act of condomless sex under the influence of alcohol than third- and fourth-year students.…

In this systematic review, we aimed to identify the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on children/adolescents with a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The protocol was registered on PROSPERO CRD42021255848. Articles were selected from PubMed, Embase, and LILACS according to these characteristics: patients from zero to 18 years old,…

A youth mental health crisis has been exacerbated significantly by the COVID-19 pandemic. Teachers are often front-line support for students in need. Yet teachers themselves are struggling, making it difficult to help their students. Cognitive behavioral interventions (CBIs) have been shown to reduce mental health symptoms in school settings.…

Purpose: Cognitive behaviour therapy based on the Clark and Wells (1995) model is a first-line treatment for neurotypical people seeking support for social anxiety. While autistic people frequently report high social anxiety, it is unclear how appropriate the model is for this population. Methods: Over 300 autistic and non-autistic adults…

In "Parable of the Sower," Octavia Butler (1993) wrote: "Any Change may bear seeds of benefit. Seek them out. Any Change may bear seeds of harm. Beware" (p. 116). In this paper, we apply this command to a speculative examination of the consequences of text-based generative AI (GAI) for adolescent writers, framing this…

This study investigates the affective and performative effects of ludicization, i.e., the process of transforming the original contexts into immersive ludic experiences based on metaphorized desired behaviors and reflexive space, on language learning. The effects of ludicization are based on an integrated model involving multidimensional…

The purpose of this qualitative descriptive case study was to focus on teachers' perceptions regarding professional development training for early childhood education. The problem addressed in this study was the inadequate amount of professional development training available for early childhood teachers to address children with challenging…

Critical whiteness scholars have described whiteness as a system of oppression that privileges White identities above others and perpetuates White supremacy. On the college campus, institutional, social, and historical norms reinforce the educational status quo and work together to maintain a system of whiteness that marginalizes Black students.…

Higher levels of social anxiety predict greater incidence of alcohol-related consequences among college students, yet little is known about for whom social anxiety may pose the greatest risk of experiencing alcohol-related consequences and the significance and direction of association between social anxiety and alcohol use remain unclear. This…

This phenomenological case study explores the perceptions of high school administrators who have implemented Schoolwide Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (SWPBIS) at the universal tier with fidelity. For this study, perceptions refer to the views and experiences of administrators implementing SWPBIS on the success and growth they have…
