Psychometric properties of the Childhood Adversity and Social Stress Questionnaire, Parent Report (CASSQ-PR), a measure tailored to assess stressful experiences and traumatic stress symptoms in autist…
The CASSQ-PR offers a valid estimate of SE and TSS as observed by parents in verbally communicative, school-age autistic youth; however, further research with more sociodemographically diverse and clinical samples is warranted. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2026 APA, all rights reserved)
Co-regulation between young deaf and hard-of-hearing children and their caregivers
The Calming Together study will be among the first to investigate co-regulation in young DHH children and their parents in ecologically valid home settings. By assessing both parent and child factors, it will provide insights into how co-regulation unfolds in daily life and how it relates to broader aspects of self-regulation. The study will also include both mothers and fathers to investigate their potentially unique contributions toward co-regu…
The Family-Check-Up® Autism Implementation Research (Fair) Study
Introduction Prevalence rates of emotional and behavior problems (EBP) in autistic children and youth are high (40–70%), and often cause severe and chronic impairment. Furthermore, autistic children are also more likely to experience family “social-ecological” adversity compared to neurotypically developing peers, including social isolation, child maltreatment, caregiver mental illness, and socioeconomic risk. These family stressors increase the …
Hearing Loss and Young Children’s Development of Emotional Competence
Hearing loss can have a significant impact on children’s development. It can diminish children’s ability to perceive and produce spoken language, which has been studied extensively. However, hearing loss can also negatively affect children’s socioemotional development because it limits access to the social environment. Interestingly, there is little research on this. In this chapter, the authors begin by discussing the development of four aspects…
Resilience from childhood to young adulthood
OBJECTIVE: Most deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) youth grow up in hearing familial and educational environments, posing unique risks for their socio-emotional well-being. The study's objective was to explore protective processes contributing to resilience among DHH individuals in different life periods. DESIGN: We conducted semi-structured interviews with 23 DHH young adults on their life-long coping with having a hearing loss (HL). MAIN OUTCOME ME…
Complexity
The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of parenting a child with a dual diagnosis of childhood deafness and autism spectrum disorder who underwent cochlear implantation. Experiences of these parents are rarely discussed within the literature. Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis was used to examine nine mothers of boys (4-9 years old) for understanding their parenting experiences. Three superordinate themes were identified: co…
Everyday Stressors in Deaf and Hard of Hearing Adolescents
The current mixed-methods study examined everyday problems among deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) adolescents across various life domains. To better understand the factors influencing levels of perceived stress, the impact of DHH adolescents' coping and pragmatic abilities was also examined. Thirty DHH adolescents completed questionnaires about everyday stressors and coping, and 13 of these respondents were interviewed regarding their everyday prob…
The Transition From Early Intervention to School for Children Who Are Deaf or Hard of Hearing
Although the transition from early intervention (EI) to school is a significant milestone in the lives of young children, little research to date has investigated this transition among children who are deaf or hard of hearing (D/HH). The aims of this study were to investigate the organizational policies, procedures, and guidelines that facilitate or hinder the transition from the EI system to the school system for children who are D/HH from the p…
The Impact of Childhood Hearing Loss on the Family
Parenting children who are deaf or hard of hearing (D/HH) presents unique long-term challenges that can place the parents at a greater risk for elevated levels of parenting stress. Adaptation of families to the various challenges presented by childhood hearing loss is influenced by their personal and social coping resources available for managing these stressors and challenges. The current study examined differences in parenting stress and person…
Interrelations between communicative behaviors at the outset of speech
The Hebrew Parent Questionnaire for Communication and Early Language (HPQ-CEL) was administered by 154 parents of Hebrew-speaking toddlers aged 1 ; 0 to 1 ; 3 (77 boys, 77 girls). The Questionnaire guided parents in observing and rating their toddlers in six contexts at home. The study aimed to identify inter-correlations between toddlers' non-linguistic behaviors that co-occur during the transition to speech. Seven communicative behaviors were e…
Adolescent Possible Selves as Jointly Constructed in Parent-Adolescent Career Conversations and Related Activities
The purpose of this research project is to describe the possible selves that parents and adolescents introduce and jointly adjust, adopt, maintain, or abandon in conversations about potential careers and related activities over an 8-month period. Data were gathered from 19 parent-adolescent dyads through observation of (a) parents and adolescents during videotaped conversations about the adolescent's career-related future, (b) parents and adolesc…
