Systematic Review of Interventions for Twice-Exceptional Autistic Learners
Twice-exceptional autistic learners (2e-ASL), those who meet criteria for autism and giftedness, are vulnerable to under-identification and inadequate support.

Adolescents’ social perceptions of academically high-performing students
One cohort that has not been given extended attention in the period during which transition takes place is academically high-performing students. This research study uniquely synthesises some of these key factors by investigating how students in mixed-ability, seventh-grade classrooms across Australia, Peru, Scotland, South Korea, Spain and Vietnam regard a hypothetical, academically able peer. The fictitious student’s intellectual ability, posit…
Moving beyond the ‘language problem’
Health systems internationally are dealing with greater diversity in patient populations. However the focus on ‘the language problem’ has meant little attention is paid to diversity within and between migrant populations; and how interpreted consultations are influenced by intersecting migratory, ethnicity and sociodemographic variables. Our analysis of the experiences of patients, health care providers and interpreters in Scotland evidences the …
An explorative study into the possible benefits of using humor in creative tasks with a class of primary five pupils

Hearing Quiet Voices
In the UK, foster families are the most common form of care for looked after children. Research in this area has mainly concentrated on foster mothers and looked after children but little is known about the experiences of biological children in these families. This paper reports on the findings of a qualitative study that was conducted with the biological children of foster-carers within an independent foster-care agency. Using semi-structured in…
Talking about Work
Seventy 15‐year‐old students in rural and urban Scottish schools, who had previously answered questionnaires about the extent of their part‐time employment, were interviewed. Work appears to be the norm in their communities, 79 per cent having worked and most of the others anticipating working before leaving school. Although the interviewees’ accounts of their jobs give some support to those who argue that most of the paid employment school stude…
