Effectiveness of an online‐delivered parent‐mediated intervention for the improvement of social skills of children with autism
Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) show social communication difficulties, a common symptom alongside behavioural issues. These difficulties may affect both their social and academic inclusion when they do not receive proper support. The current study attempts to examine the effects of a parent‐mediated intervention that was delivered online to improve the social communication skills of a sample of 12 young children with ASD (interve…
A Systematic Review of Residential Care for Children and Young People with Disabilities
Considering data that suggests an overrepresentation of children/youth with disabilities in Residential Care Homes (RCH), placing them in a situation of accumulation of risk factors and increased vulnerability, this study presents a systematic literature review (SLR) focused on this target group. Research questions address prevalence rates, characteristics and outcomes of children/youth with disabilities in RCH; characteristics and practices of R…
A participação de mães surdas na vida escolar dos filhos ouvintes
O desafio de entender as necessidades sociais e acadêmicas de crianças surdas no contexto educativo tem sido alvo de profunda análise na literatura, mas o mesmo não acontece em relação às mães surdas e ao desempenho do papel de responsáveis pela educação dos seus filhos. Com frequência, as mães surdas enfrentam barreiras de natureza comunicacional e atitudinal, tornando necessárias adequações na relação família-escola, de modo a lhes garantir o d…
The participation of mothers who are deaf in the school life of their hearing children
The challenge of understanding the social and academic needs of deaf children in the educational context has been the subject of deep analysis in the literature, but the same does not happen in relation to deaf mothers and the performance of their role as responsible for the education of their children. Often, mothers who are deaf face communicational and attitudinal barriers, requiring adjustments in the family-school relationship, in order to g…
Implementing an online peer tutoring intervention to promote reading skills of elementary students
The global COVID-19 pandemic disrupted face-to-face teaching, having a significant impact on the teaching-learning process. As a result, many students spent less time reading (and learning to read) than they did during face-to-face instruction, requiring the use of alternative approaches of instruction. A combined online and peer tutoring intervention was designed to improve reading skills such as fluency and accuracy. Following a quasi-experimen…
Building inclusive preschool classrooms
Positive teacher-child relationships promote children’s engagement, as children feel more secure to explore and participate in free or oriented activities. For children with disabilities, a context wherein they can receive the support to maintain a positive engagement in different activities is even more relevant. A scarcity of research exists on how to promote ECEC quality, namely, how to facilitate teacher-child interactions in inclusive enviro…

The use of the ICF-CY for describing dynamic functioning profiles
In keeping with the international trend towards inclusive education and a context-sensitive approach to students’ needs, Portugal enacted, in 2008, a law that stipulated the use of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health for Children and Youth (ICF-CY) to inform special needs assessment and eligibility procedures. The necessity of conceptual and practical adjustments in the use of the ICF-CY brings up the need for t…
How the use of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health for Children and Youth changed the Individualized Education Programs in Portugal
Current Portuguese Public Law No. 3/2008 requires the use of the International Classification of Functioning, Health and Disability for Children and Youth (ICF-CY) as a reference framework to guide assessment and intervention procedures for students with additional support needs. This study explores whether the ICF-CY use fostered multidimensional and interrelational descriptions of students’ needs, and enhanced the congruence between assessment …

This paper reports the results of a national two-year project, commissioned by the Portuguese Ministry of Education, to investigate the implementation of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) under Decree-Law 3/2008.
