Disabilities - Science topic

Esta pregunta lleva a la reflexión del papel fundamental de la investigación social en el desarrollo de políticas públicas que garanticen la inclusión laboral de personas con discapacidad física e intelectual. Se trata de comprender cómo los estudios y análisis en el ámbito social pueden identificar barreras, y necesidades para este colectivo, y luego transformar ese conocimiento en estrategias y medidas que promuevan un acceso equitativo a la inserción laboral. Por lo que uniendo teoría y práctica se fomenta a la inclusión en el entorno laboral.

I work in higher education and I was wondering if students with ASD may be more successful in smaller institutions compared to large institutions. I was looking into research about student success in higher ed, and found some great articles regarding resources for students with ASD, but it mentioned that many struggle due to the change from high school to college. I know that all schools are required to provide accommodations for students with disabilities and was wondering if there might be a correlation between success and size of institution. Any suggestion on resources that I could look into?

UNESCO report.. State of education in India 2019 says that In India.. Although Organizations are working independently for inclusion of children with disabilities.. Results are not coming.. Is integrating.. Collaboration is the solution.. Seeking experts opinion.. How can we unite.. NGOS, National Institutions for empowerment of children with disabilities and others working for welfare..

It's very sad that children with certain disabilities such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), anxiety disorders, cognitive disorders, developmental delays, social and emotional difficulties, behavioural difficulties, and learning difficulties are not learning well or not learning at all. Provisions have not been made for these children in schools; even where they are available, they are insufficient or even inadequate. 

It is important that the rights of children with disabilities be of utmost importance to everyone, and an appropriate setting that will help them learn well be provided.

I currently doing my PhD research about on the representation of disabilities in superheroe comics. So, how do you see this representation in comics, even in other genres of comics?

You are welcome to share the information of the three questions above. I am looking for collaborate projects about the learning disabilities, if you are interested to join in, please leave some commend and bring some issues to cover in this comparative education project. Thanks.

As I teach disabilities and we talk about causes, treatment etc. Certain disabilities like intelectual impairment and autism along with epilepsy where cause is microcephaly, low birth weight still there is no treatment. It's life time dependency on medicine to avoid fits.

This question comes to mind as I live with this thought day and night.. Government schools are still lacking basic infrastructure for Children without disabilities.. How and when full inclusion happen

How can AI assist the hearing impaired students and teachers?

In India.. Especially West bengal specifically few districts.. I observed government teachers are hardly aware of the very term.. 'Inclusion' UDL.. Pedagogy for children with disabilities..

This question is coming as when I teach.. Generally stakeholders ask.. It's for all.. I think placement depends on Degree of disability..

I need to write research essay, what will be a good question. suggestions please.

"Do university students with disabilities perform better academically with accommodations compared to those who do not receive accommodations?

or

Do elementary school children with disabilities perform better academically with Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) compared to standard teaching methods?

which one is easier to find data for reviews.

Are these good questions for academic purposes?

Transition supports for students with disabilities

From high school to college

Hello,

I am a self-contained teacher in a middle school setting. I am struggling to find ways to have my students be included in general education classrooms. Some of my students with severe disabilities and loud behaviors will often struggle to be in traditional settings even the ones that are easier to include them in such as related arts or specials. I also have been struggling to find ways to support my general education teachers to better help them be more willing to include my students in their classrooms. Any ideas would be appreciated! Thank you!

There is several approaches towards the analysis of legal status of people with disabilities (e.g. medical, social or human rights approach).

One way to include people with disabilities in society is to acknowledge that at some point in our lives (sooner or later) we will all be people with disabilities - do you agree with that?

May be what it will take to age gracefully with a disability and what is the greatest handicap.

Here I am primarily concerned with the construction of an alien other using the example of the horror film.

To what extent do university websites adhere to digital/web accessibility guidelines and standards, and what are the implications for ensuring equitable access to information and resources for users with disabilities?

Meta-analysis on life expectancy in people with vs. without disabilities lacks crucial data (SD, SE, CI). So; what analysis methods whould you adice me to rectify this problem?

I no longer feel attracted to women nor men. I prefer robots. Liberals rightfully oppose racial animosity while acknowledging heritability to further DEI. If I make a controversial claim and no one directly opposes it then they may be silently agreeing. For right or wrong "As (insert morally superior identity) then argument" translates to "my word has more credibility because of my identity." As one of the MOST disliked people by the Nazis, I opine about race relations. Whether overt or covert, North Western Europeans("NWE") are highly eugenic and or transhumanist, hence in their most exclusionary known ideology (Nazism) they especially want to either castrate and or kill people that look like them yet have subtle non-NWE ancestry and or disabilities. Because subtle non-NWE ancestry and disabilities are both possibly hereditary. I have both subtle non-NWE ancestry and at least one(maybe multiple) disabilities(all probably hereditary), hence my right to opine about race relations. Few actually believe in martyrdom and would go through with it. A true martyr would be fired for holding integrity, courage and honor all over reputation. I will respect the authority for the common good. I also am not heterosexual, thus adding to my right to opine about race relations. My asexuality may make me a better Catholic because I seek to be fruitful and multiply(via robot sex) without acting on lust. Sir Francis Galton(Anglo Liberal and Darwin's cousin) invented eugenics. Sir Julian Huxley(Anglo Liberal, both brother of author Aldous Huxley and grandson of Darwin's Bulldog(TH Huxley) started the transhumanist movement. Sir Julian Huxley also coined the term transhumanism. Some argue principles only count if the actor's needs are met. I think principles only count if the actor's needs are met. Hence, I do not believe in nor practice martyrdom. Financial blackmail may be worse than the emotional kind because the latter usually comes from a less powerful person. More power means more potential culpability.

I'm interested in current studies or research about the use of assistive technology with infants and toddlers with disabilities.

Based on what I've learned from my MSE program, I'm working on further inclusion of my self contained students past the sole expectation of socialization and friendship building. I have my administrator on board for including my students in their grade level classes for academics. Yet I'm finding since beginning this, I've got several educators pushing back on even including my students in field trips. I'm honestly at a loss of what to do. How can I better help my coworkers understand inclusion and why it's important?

Who agrees platitudes from the intellectually disabled should receive more tolerance? How? Why?

On the Cover:

This study aimed to determine the association and predictive capacities of job satisfaction, workplace stress, work motivation, and self-esteem on state of mental health of caregivers of children with disabilities in South-West Nigeria. The self-determination theory provided a theoretical framework for the study. A closed-ended paper-pencil questionnaire tagged ‘Mental Healthiness Scale for Caregivers’ was used for data collection from 241 caregivers of children with disabilities. Data collected was analyzed using descriptive of frequency count, simple percentage and mean as well as inferential statistics involving Pearson product moment correlation and Binary Logistic Regression at 95% confidence interval. Findings revealed a significant but inverse association between self-esteem, workplace stress and mental health. Work motivation had a direct association with mental health while job satisfaction had no significant association with mental health of caregivers of children with disabilities. Caregivers (18–40 years) had the highest odds for mental health concerns. Lowered self-esteem and workplace stress increased mental health concerns while job satisfaction significantly predicted a higher likelihood for positive state of mental health among caregivers of children with disabilities.

Specifically, general education teachers' competence in identifying and assessing disability in an mainstream setting. Thank you so much.

I am struggling with selecting a theory. I am working on a qualitative study, that seeks to understand the lived experiences of military families of children with children with disabilities who face challenges In receiving continuity of services during a PCS (permanent change of station) / relocation. I already thought of attachment theory but was told it doesn’t quit fit. Any ideas or feedback will be highly appreciated.

I am recruiting students from a special education integration programme classroom. This classroom has more than one disabilities of students (in example: autism, intellectual disability, down syndrome, Adhd).

I would only want mild autism. Data of mild autism in that state has been received. Some school has 1 student only and some school has 10. The range is between 1 to 10 students in each school.

I am planning to do a quasi experimental study of 2 groups (conventional group and intervention group).

The problem is what sampling to use to recruit when there are limited mild autism in each school?

Tq so much for guidance. Help and advice is appreciated:)

Ableism and ageism are two significant issues that can be present in academic settings, impacting the experiences and opportunities of individuals based on their abilities and age, respectively.

Let's explore each of these concepts in the context of academia:

In both cases, awareness, education, and proactive policies are crucial in mitigating ableism and ageism within academic institutions. Creating a respectful and inclusive environment benefits the entire academic community and leads to a more equitable and productive learning and research environment.

I was going to use Hergenhahn's: An Introduction the History of Psychology, but I am really unhappy with the book's treatment of the intelligence testing era of the late 1800s and early 1900s, which was responsible for all manner of social injustice. The term "retardation" is repeatedly used without any explanation of the historical context of the term and without fully appreciating the discrimination and oppression engendered by it (largely as a result of the intelligence testing craze in the West). I'm afraid of requiring my students to read this, especially because I work at an institution with a large population of students with disabilities.

Does anyone have a suggestion for a text that treats social stratification and its consequences on disenfranchised groups with more empathy and greater care?

Typically, public assistance only offers financial aid to families with dependent children. Many people without children suffer from some form of disability that prevents them from earning money. The process of applying for and receiving SSDI or SSI is arduous and lengthy. Sometimes it can take up to a year for approval. Interim programs will evaluate the likelihood o a person being approved for disability, and if they deem it likely, they will offer some form of interim assistance. Unfortunately, the amount of money offered through these programs is not enough to sustain living costs. This situation creates a gap in services and supports that people with disabilities need to survive. What are some of the ways people can survive and avoid homelessness while they wait for their SSI or SSDI approval?

Hi everyone,

I am working on studying the perspectives towards persons with disabilities among a small sample of secondary students (n=12). I have come across a very interesting questionnaire called the "New Scale to Assess Attitudes and Perspectives Toward Persons With Disabilities". However, I have concerns about the meaningfulness of administering the questionnaire to such a small sample size. I am considering transforming the questionnaire's questions into discussion items for a focus group. However, I am unsure if this approach is methodologically appropriate."

I am working on my dissertation for my Masters Degree. I am in need of a tested and reliable quantitative instrument that can help look at stigma related with employed adults with disabilities.

My main issue with this is that my research does not focus on any particular type of disability as most studies, because I believe that would limit my study. However I would appreciate if anyone could share a model/instrument that can help me in my thesis.

Discrimination is a topic in many ways. Students at different universities report discrimination in the context of the pandemic. They experience discrimination due to their disability, their social background, their religion, their nationality a.s.o. Do you know research projects that systematically investigate discrimination at universities?

Hi there!

One of my research areas is to promote physical activity behaviors in parents of children with disabilities. I have been conducting several projects regarding this topic.

However, I wonder if parents of children with disabilities can become a target population in the adapted physical activity area. I know that adapted physical activity is a multidisciplinary study, but parents of children with disabilities may be on the side of the family study?

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! :)

Different researchers have been trying to estimate the percentage of persons with disabilities in Kenya since 2007. Between 2007 and 2019, five independent studies have been conducted, each reporting significantly different results eg 4.6%, 3.5%, 13.5%, 11.4% and 2.2%. Utilizing all this published information, what Statistical treatment can be used to get the true estimate of disability prevalence.

I am recruiting graduate students or doctors who have completed their studies with hearing and communication difficulties.

The classroom is comprised of different individuals, each of them with their own uniqueness, and having been admitted into the institution of learning gives them access to learn, and also right to enjoy that learning just like every other person.

In the variety of students in our classrooms are brilliant, gifted and talented children. However in the same classroom are physically challenged persons whose desire is also to learn, and gain quality knowledge. In some situations, some teachers see those physically challenged as burdens, and they do nothing or less to carry them along thereby denying them access to adequate learning.

With the advancement of science and technology comes with solutions to how those learners can also learn, and also help teachers who couldn't help them to actually carry them along, and that brought the introduction of assistive technologies.

What are some of those assistive technologies that a teacher can advise those learners to get in order to learn adequately just like others even as he/she helps in anyway possible?

How can those technologies be used?

Do those technologies have merits, and demerits?

Remember everyone have the best they can contribute, likewise the physically challenged, and if we don't do anything to help them, how can the best in them be activated?

Your response is needed.

Thanks.

Hi

Please can anyone help me, For a Social Psych undergraduate Assignment research study (quantitative) I have Come up with the idea of testing the attitudes and perceptions of the abilities of people with visible disabilities. I was going to use the ATDP scale to first establish a baseline of all participants. Then splitting participants by getting half to read a disabled person scenario and half to do the non-disabled person scenario involving a maths task (other ideas would be welcome). Then completing another ATDP to see how the scale has shifted. I’m not sure if this is the best scale to use.

Additionally, , I am confused as to how I should analyse this using SPSS and what test and why it would be right to use in this instance. I also am unsure how to report the test.

Any help or advice would be appreciated as this is my first research study that I have been allowed to choose and I want it to be right.

Thank you in advance.

Dear colleagues,

Hope you are well and healthy and the work is going fine despite COVID-19.

I need any research which focuses on COVID-19 and developmental disabilities. Especially I need some of the following topics, if there are:

(1) Statistics on COVID-19 and Developmental Disabilities (i.e. how many individuals with disabilities affected by this virus, the type and severity of the disability, case fatality rate, etc).

(2) The impact of COVID-19 in their quality of lives

(3) The impact of hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for COVID-19 in these individuals

(4) The impact of quarantine in the lives of these persons

etc (any other research on this subject is accepted)

Additionally, I need these investigations from

(1) medical/ objective side

(2) the personal experience of individuals with disabilities/ subjective side

because I want to understand more this condition from both sides.

Thank you very much!! Keep up the good work!!

To conduct a study with people with severe/profound intellectual (and multiple) disabilities, it is important to ensure that the participating persons actually meet these sample criteria. -> From an international perspective, what are the most common ways/assessments/approaches to achieve this? Based on a little literature review, there are three possibilities:

(In terms of an assessment/questionnaire, it would be great if there were an English and a German version.) I am really interested in your feedback and your experiences.

Dear researchers,

Hi all,

I would like to complete a PhD in specific learning difficulties, inclusive education or disabilities in France, Germany... as a British. Please, can anybody tell me where to look for? I have started independent researching lately and I am not linked to any institution yet. I have spent almost the last 3 three years looking into the issues of inclusive education and learning difficulties in Africa. I have not planned to stay that long, but unfortunately things did not go as envisaged.

Hence, I cannot start my PhD in UK since I was not in the country for the last 3 years. Since, in Germany, France ..., I can undergo a PhD programme without tuition fees, I am willing to explore that option and support myself while on the programme.

So, I will be more than grateful for your advice and suggestions.

Thanks,

Delali

A strength-based approach emphasizes broadening our understanding of abilities, as opposed to disabilities. Do researchers need to be the starting force by making the connection between a strength-based approach and academic resiliency?

HI everyone,

I am trying to find Ontologies for user modelling and for disabilities, so far I have had little success finding ontology search engines.

Thank you.

Students with disabilities have been included and segregated in physical education and I am curious to hear what people think is the right decision. Should students with disabilities be removed and put into their own class? should students be included? a mixture?

I am looking for studies on the prevalence of students with disabilities being excluded from field trips. I have found a few court case rulings but no studies looking into how often it happens and why. Thanks!

I revised my original question and would appreciate instrument suggestions. Thank you in advance.

How to provide full accessible website for Persons with multiple disabilities?

Let's say the pattern of questions are:

Q1: type of disability/disabilities (here i received answers from people with visual, hearing, and physical. (nominal data type)

Q2. which features are important to consider? (Ordinal data type)

abc ................... 1 2 3 4 5 (not at all ...most important)

xyz ................... 1 2 3 4 5 (not at all ...most important)

I want to understand i) which features have been considered important by people with visual impairment.

ii) which features have been considered important by people with hearing impairment. ii) which features have been considered important by people with physical disability.

if i use the chi-square Chi would provide me a value to get an idea of significance between these variables but would not measure the relationship or association.

As someone who has had lupus for over fifty years, reflecting on my life, I see that I have had cognitive problems from childhood, with a mismatch between intellect and processing ability. I suspect that for a lot of people with lupus, there is a feedback between what goes on in the brain, their physical condition and societal expectations. Certain jobs for people who are effectively brain damaged, will be exceedingly stressful, as will relationships with people especially in busy social situations. Stress is a major factor in exacerbating symptoms, so treatment programmes for lupus, as well as being medical need to focus on life balance and a healthy pace of life for individuals with the condition. Occupational therapy and sensitive workplaces, may be as important for treatment as medicine.

How is it possible to educate patients, doctors, other health professionals, friends and families? As a society we pay lip service to equalities and supporting people, but in reality make it very difficult for them to run the human race, where others have a 2 lap headstart. How can we connect together scientific advancement, treatment and societal attitude, so that people with lupus and other disabilities are able to meaningfully contribute according to their abilities and feel valued by the society they inhabit?

I wondered if there was any evidence that autistic people are more likely to have physical disabilities? Is there any research on this, whether it is more common in males or females, and whether this affects age of diagnosis?

I want to take a deeper look at the facial expressions of people with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities (PIMD) to analyse their emotional expressions.

For this purpose, I am searching for a ready-to-use software, which combines image processing (e.g., OpenPose, OpenFace) and machine learning. In addition, I would prefer a software that is free (i.e., Open Source) or at least for non-commercial research purposes.

So, I am not looking for methods, but for ready-to-use software, which includes a feature to train my own models. The reason is that every person with PIMD shows very unique behaviour signals and, therefore, you need one model for each emotion of a person.

Finally, I do not need a GUI or visualization, a simple command line application would enough.

A hint would be very helpful.

Do learners with disabilities and/or special needs require their own special curriculum or should teachers be using the mainstream curriculum and adapting it to suit their learners' needs?
