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…
Falls and Preventive Practices among Institutionalized Older People
The present study about falls among the older adult population essentially explores bio-physiological factors. In light of the complexity of the factors that cause these accidents, it is important to identify the safety and self-care practices of institutionalized older adults and their relationship with falls in order to introduce prevention measures and personalized cognitive-behavioral strategies. The objective of this study was to: (a) determ…

Perspetivas de Vida de Crianças e Jovens em Acolhimento Familiar e Residencial
Este estudo teve como objetivo compreender as perspetivas de vida de crianças e jovens, entre os 11 e os 15 anos, que se encontram em acolhimento familiar ou residencial.

Concluiu-se que estas crianças e jovens consideravam a sua situação atual como mais vantajosa do que aquela que tinham antes com …
Gait Ability and Muscle Strength in Institutionalized Older Persons with and without Cognitive Decline and Association with Falls
Falls are a complex problem, given their multifactorial nature, the comorbidities involved, and due to the dependency of older persons living in nursing homes. Risk, fear of falling, falls themselves, and their recurrence are the main factors behind fragility fractures, lack of independence, and increases in pain prevalence, and other comorbidities in older populations. The objectives of the present quantitative and longitudinal study were: (a) t…
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…
