This book was released on 2000 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present study1 examined whether siblings of children with autism were at risk for experiencing psychosocial adjustment difficulties, and whether severity of the child's disability and siblings' knowledge of autism were related to siblings' adjustment. This study also systematically evaluated the effectiveness of a sibling support group. Participants included 31 siblings of children with autism, between ages 6 to 16, that received group intervention. Results indicated that these siblings exhibited significantly more internalizing problems than average, but did not show more externalizing behaviours, total problem behaviours, or poor self-concepts. In this group, there were no significant relationships between severity of the child's disability and siblings' knowledge of autism with siblings' psychosocial adjustment. However, siblings did significantly improve their self-concepts and knowledge of autism from the beginning to the end of the sibling support group. Clinical implications are discussed and directions for future research are presented. 1These data were collected as part of the ongoing study, "Sibling Groups for Siblings of Autistic Children" of the Treatment, Research and Education for Autism and Developmental Disorders (TRE-ADD) Program at Thistletown Regional Centre, investigated by Dr. Adrienne Perry and her collaborators.

This book was released on 2024-06-07 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diverse learners bring a broad range of experiences and perspectives into the classroom and offer a powerful resource for learning. However, they also pose major challenge to practitioners and researchers working in the field of education. Biases and inequitable social consequences may occur when assessing young children, students with disabilities, high-ability students, and culturally and linguistically diverse learners. Through a compilation of empirical studies, this book aims to present both theory and applications of assessment in educational research. Each chapter focuses on different groups of learners, which include Malaysian students, Japanese pre-schoolers, gifted Saudi students, Nigerian adolescents, and foreign language learners in Gaza. Based on the assessment procedures and outcomes obtained in each study, good practices of assessment are provided at the end of the book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This comprehensive, interdisciplinary handbook presents the latest research in the study, assessment, treatment, and understanding of intellectual and developmental disabilities. The past five decades have resulted in dramatic breakthroughs in the understanding of intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Editor-in-Chief Laraine Masters Glidden and her editorial team provide an overview of the historical foundations of the field of IDD as well as up-to-date material on clinical diagnosis, assessment, interventions, and treatments for such conditions. It goes on to address legal, ethical, and educational issues; and other social issues that affect the lives of people with IDD, including family impact and adjustment, relationships and parenting, spirituality, residential and caretaking services, maltreatment and criminal justice issues, stigma and ableism, health, and aging. Chapters address the etiology and treatment of specific conditions (including Down syndrome, fragile X syndrome, other genetic and chromosomal conditions, autism spectrum disorder, acquired brain injury, cerebral palsy, and fetal alcohol spectrum disorders) as well as functioning in multiple domains and throughout the lifespan. Contributing causes to IDD are explored within various contexts such as culture, race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status."-- Provided by publisher.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: This paper reviews the body of literature examining the well-being and adjustment of siblings of children with developmental disabilities, including autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Results within this body of research are mixed. Although a few studies have concluded there are no significant differences between siblings of children with developmental disorders and siblings of typically developing children, the majority of the research indicates that this sibling population is at increased risk of behavioral, psychological, and emotional problems. Specific factors influencing siblings' well-being and coping have been identified. Included in these factors are static variables such as family size, birth order, and socioeconomic status, as well as dynamic variables such as quality of family engagement, parental stress and well-being, and quality of peer relationships. Each sibling in this population expresses varying attitudes and has a wide range of life experiences. Nevertheless, there are common factors that seem to influence their individual experiences. Keywords: sibling, developmental disability, ASD, well-being, adjustment, coping.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dedicated to the memory and work of Lisa Capps, this volume is a forum for scholars and practitioners interested in the typical and atypical development of persons with autism. Each chapter is focused on theoretical considerations and the empirical evidence regarding a specific aspect of functioning, but common themes of development are considered throughout. Within this framework, the contributors provide a detailed and comprehensive account of the development of persons with autism. The book is divided into four sections: (1) Developmental, Neurobiological, Genetic, and Family Considerations; (2) Attention and Perception; (3) Cognition, Theory of Mind, and Executive Functioning; and (4) Social and Adaptive Behaviors. With the consideration of this broad range of topics, this volume is both a state-of-the-art resource about autism and a unique contribution to the study of development. It will be of interest to researchers and care providers from several domains, including psychology, psychiatry, social work, developmental psychology, and education. This volume can be used as a text in graduate and advanced undergraduate courses, and as a resource in applied settings.

Book excerpt: For several decades, families of children with autism have been of interest to practitioners and researchers, with a growing body of literature focusing specifically on the psychosocial functioning of the healthy siblings in the family. Although there have been mixed findings across existing research studies examining the impact children with autism have on siblings, a number of studies have reported that siblings of children with autism experience greater psychosocial adjustment difficulties, thereby suggesting they are a group at risk for maladjustment. The current study examined the variability in siblings' psychosocial adjustment and prosocial behaviour with factors found to be important in the general population and developmental disability field. Furthermore, factors believed to be more specific to having a brother or sister with autism were explored to help determine those siblings at greater risk for psychosocial adjustment difficulties, in addition to those siblings demonstrating more prosocial behaviours. Participants included 72 siblings of children with autism between ages 7 to 14 years, as well as their parent and classroom teacher. Preliminary analyses confirmed variability in the functioning of siblings of children with autism, although the majority of siblings in the present study appeared to be well-adjusted. A minority of siblings were demonstrating substantial internalizing and/or externalizing behaviour problems, and low levels of prosocial behaviour. An analysis of variables predicting siblings' externalizing behaviour problems revealed different factors emerged as salient for parent versus teacher reports. While siblings were reported by parents to display fewer externalizing behaviour problems in the presence of lower levels of parental distress and higher levels of academic achievement, only siblings' global self-worth emerged as a significant predictor for teacher reports. For autism-specific variables, siblings' perception of the frequency of autistic and related behaviours was an important predictor for both parent and teacher reports of siblings' externalizing behaviour problems. None of the sibling or parent variables examined in the current study predicted parent or teacher reports of siblings' internalizing behaviour problems or prosocial behaviour. These findings are discussed with respect to their clinical implications, and directions for future research are presented.
