  • Public perceptions of the rights of persons with disability

    Open AccessRoy Mc Conkey, ROY McCONKEYARTICLEAlter2020

    Since 2006, three nationally representative surveys in Ireland have assessed public agreement to three rights inherent in the UNCRPD (United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities): attendance at ordinary schools, to have sexual fulfilment and to have children. Three questions are posed in this paper: do the Irish public perceive people with different impairments as having the same rights? Are they more supportive of certai…

  • Sport, Coaching and Intellectual Disability

    Fadilj Eminović, David Hassan et al.BOOKSport, Coaching and Intellectual…2014

    Persons with intellectual impairments often have problems in motor learning and in developing motor patterns of movement. The basis of motor learning, as with any other form of learning, lies in cognitive processes, because the movement is composed of mental action, sensory nerve stimulation, the internal actions of the central nervous system, and external physical movement (Eminovic et al., 2010). This chapter identifies common difficulties in m…

  • Researching the Lives of Disabled Children and Young People

    Open AccessKirsten Stalker, on behalf of the Guest Editorial team et al.ARTICLEChildren & Society2012

  • Disabled Children's Voices

    Open AccessJohn Carpenter, Roy Mc Conkey et al.ARTICLEChildren & Society2012

    Disabled children are among the most marginalised in our society. Their influence has been negligible on policies and service practices that directly affect their lives. Empirical research using innovative methodologies can at least enable their voices to be heard. Based on the contributions of leading researchers and practitioners to a seminar series in the UK , a schema to guide future research was developed that aims to reduce the fragmented a…

  • Parental perceptions of risks with older teenagers who have severe learning difficulties contrasted with the young people's views and experiences

    Open AccessRoy Mc Conkey, ROY McCONKEY et al.ARTICLEChildren & Society2003

    The majority of school leavers over two years from two special schools for pupils with severe learning disabilities were individually interviewed (N = 34), as were their parents (N = 38). Parental reports stressed the amount of care and supervision required by these young people. They viewed them as vulnerable to various different hazards such as crossing roads and only a minority were prepared to take the risk of teaching them. However more of t…

  • Assessing mentally handicapped children's use of sentence structuring rules

    Open AccessRoy Mc Conkey, ROY McCONKEY et al.ARTICLEFirst Language1982

    Mentally handicapped children's use of two-word sentence rules was examined in three different contexts (involving pictorial and object material) and on two separate occasions (4 weeks apart). 'Action + Object' sentences were the most frequently given throughout and were elicited more often with objects than with pictures. However the children showed little consistency in their sentence usage across the three contexts and over the two sessions. H…

  • Implementation of Classroom Research Findings on the Early Language Development of Mentally Handicapped Children

    Open AccessRoy Mc Conkey, ROY McCONKEY et al.ARTICLEFirst Language1980

    Language intervention research with mentally handicapped children has identified techniques of proven effectiveness. However, this information has not been readily available to those professionals in the best position to help the children, namely teachers and their assistants. In an attempt to do this, a series of five video-programmes was made, illustrating assessment and teaching techniques suited to mentally handicapped children at the 'two-wo…

  • The Role of Blocked Presentation in the Elicitation of a Categorical Strategy of Remembering With Retarded Adults

    Open AccessRoy Mc Conkey, ROY McCONKEY et al.ARTICLEBritish Journal of Psychology1974

    Blocked presentation of categorical material has been found to increase the number of items recalled by retarded subjects. Three experiments are reported, aimed at discovering the reasons for this facilitation. With visually and simultaneously presented items in a multi‐trial free‐recall procedure, it was found that (1) although blocked presentation of categorical material facilitated recall, the provision of category cues did not do so; (2) bloc…
