Spelling performance of Greek–speaking adolescents with developmental dyslexia and co-occurring language difficulties
This study investigated spelling performance in Greek-speaking adolescents with Developmental Dyslexia (DD–only) and those with Developmental Dyslexia and co-occurring language difficulties (DD+coLD), compared to typically developing (TD) peers, matched on chronological age (CA) and reading age (RA). A total of 98 participants (20 DD–only, 14 DD+coLD, 34 CA, 30 RA) completed measures of fluid reasoning, reading fluency, expressive vocabulary, mor…
From mathematics and science to classroom management
Introduction Teaching confidence is a critical determinant of instructional quality, teacher attitudes, and student outcomes, particularly in inclusive and special education contexts. This study validated a multidimensional Teaching Confidence Scale for primary special education teachers, encompassing Mathematics/Science Instruction, Instructional Innovation, and Classroom Management. Methods Using an Item Response Theory (IRT) framework, we exam…
Assessing Causal Links Between Mathematics Teaching Efficacy, Attitudes Towards Inclusion, and Efficacy in Implementing Inclusive Practices
Previous research has documented that mathematics teaching efficacy, attitudes towards inclusion, and efficacy in implementing inclusive practices are interrelated through reciprocal relationships. Nowadays, the need for enhancing inclusive mathematics education and supporting teachers in diverse classrooms is insatiable. In this study, we evaluated these dynamic relationships through the use of a cross-lagged panel autoregressive model. The samp…
Sensory-Rich Play and Language Development in Children with Down Syndrome and Intellectual Disabilities
This study examined the association between sensory-rich messy play and language development in children with Down syndrome (DS) and children with intellectual disabilities of unknown etiology (IDUE). Drawing on Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory and the framework of embodied cognition, the study investigated whether different play contexts are differentially associated with expressive and receptive language outcomes across developmental populations…
Reading ability in children with comorbid developmental dyslexia and developmental language disorder
This systematic review aimed to investigate (a) the core characteristics of reading ability in children with comorbid Developmental Dyslexia (DD) and Developmental Language Disorder (DLD), (b) the shared and distinct features of reading performance among children with DD, DLD, and comorbid DD + DLD, and (c) the linguistic and cognitive factors associated with their reading outcomes. Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews a…
Structural language in neurodevelopmental disorders
Introduction The aim of the present study is to investigate structural language of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) in a Greek-speaking population. Methods Three groups participated in the study, matched for age and sex: 25 children with ASD aged 6–8 years (mean age 84.19 months; SD = 6.55), 25 children with DLD aged 6–8 years (mean age 84.09 months; SD = 6.72), and 25 typically developing chi…
Narrative skills of children with developmental language disorder
Introduction Developmental Language Disorder is a common developmental disorder that affects 7% of both preschool and school-aged children. Children with DLD typically demonstrate simpler syntax, higher rates of grammatical errors and greater difficulty acquiring new vocabulary in comparison to typically developing (TD) children. Research has shown that children with DLD have significant language difficulties that result in poor narrative perform…
Tracking Adults’ Eye Movements to Study Text Comprehension
Adult readers’ cognitive effort during text processing is often associated with their reading comprehension, learning ability, and achievement scores. The aim of this review is to examine and analyze the current literature on the use of eye tracking technology as a tool for assessing text comprehension. A systematic review was conducted and, after the final screening, 13 articles were analyzed that fell into three main areas: (a) eye movements du…
Developing an integrated framework for Marine Cultural Heritage (MCH) and Marine Protected Areas (MPA) across Africa and the Middle East
Coastal Archaeology and Climate Change in the Middle East and North Africa
Recent global projections of climate change highlight alarming rates of flooding and erosion on the coastlines of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).Though there are indisputable links between climate change and the deterioration of maritime cultural heritage (particularly coastal archaeology), deterioration is often the result of multiple compounding factors, central among which are anthropogenic landscape alterations.In this paper we attem…
Maritime Cultural Heritage and Urbanisation in the Middle East and North Africa
Urbanisation, comprising development, land reclamation and population growth along coastal margins, continues to place significant pressure on the maritime cultural heritage (MCH), particularly in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Thus, there is a growing need for ascertaining the extent of the affected MCH resource and its condition. One such assessment is being undertaken by the Maritime Endangered Archaeology (MarEA) project, whi…
Integrating cultural and natural heritage approaches to Marine Protected Areas in the Mena region
Maritime endangered archaeology of the Middle East and North Africa
The 'Maritime Endangered Archaeology' (MarEA) project is conducting remote, large-scale identification and assessment of vulnerable maritime heritage to assist in its management in the face of challenges such as climate change and rapid urbanisation
Sing along
Background: Research demonstrates connections in children’s music actions, engagement episodes, and language development. Young children with autism present persistent challenges in their engagement abilities, compounded by limitations in reciprocal interactions and inflexibility in initiating and sustaining communication. Such challenges may impede language development and speech acquisition.Objective: This study explored the effectiveness of a …

Greek as a Foreign Language for Speakers of Arabic
This paper reports our findings and observations on the difficulties of university students learning Greek as a foreign language at the University of Thessaly. A group of medical students, whose native language was Arabic, answered two questionnaires concerning their use of and competence in Greek. The results showed that first and second year students faced difficulties mostly associated with medical terminology, while third and fourth year stud…
