  • Special Education Services and School-Related Quality of Life in Children With Learning Disorders and Their Families

    Open AccessDeborah P Waber, Ellen C Boiselle et al.ARTICLEJournal of Learning Disabilities2022

    Learning disorders can have adverse impacts on children and families extending beyond the academic skills deficits. The goal of the present study was to assess the impact of the school’s response, following an independent evaluation, for child and family school-related quality of life (QOL). We hypothesized that a positive school response would be associated with improved QOL. Parents completed the LDQOL/15, a brief measure of school-related QOL,…

  • A “Proof of Concept” Randomized Controlled Trial of a Video Game Requiring Emotional Regulation to Augment Anger Control Training

    Open AccessPeter Ducharme, Jason Kahn et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2021

    Emotional dysregulation leading to clinically significant anger and aggression is a common and substantial concern for youth and their families. While psychotropic medications and cognitive behavioral therapies can be effective, these modalities suffer from drawbacks such as significant side effects, high rates of attrition, and lack of real-world skill translation. R egulate a nd G ain E motional Control (RAGE-Control) is a video game designed a…

  • Relationship between infant malnutrition and childhood maltreatment in a Barbados lifespan cohort

    Rebecca S Hock, Cyralene P Bryce et al.ARTICLEVulnerable Children and Youth…2017References: 1

    Childhood malnutrition and maltreatment (abuse, neglect) are both prevalent, particularly in resource-limited settings. Despite their known negative impact on child development, there is surprisingly little research documenting their interrelationships. To address this gap, we administered the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire-Short Form (CTQ-SF), a retrospective structured self-report of childhood abuse and neglect, in a Barbadian cohort of 77 adul…

  • Biological substrates of field dependence

    Deborah P WaberARTICLEPsychological Bulletin1977

    Males consistently show a more field-independent cognitive style than do females. Studies that have related this sex difference to social environmental variables have yielded equivocal results. Evidence that the sex difference in spatial ability reflects a constellation of genetic, endocrinological, and neurological factors is discussed. Since perceptual field dependence is strongly correlated with spatial ability, these biological factors probab…
