STEM for Everyone
Some students with autism spectrum disorder and other learning differences may have superior visual acuity, increased attentional focus, and logical thinking abilities, lending to an affinity for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. At the same time, economists report that, the United States will experience a 28.2% increase in STEM-related jobs between 2014 and 2024. Although students with disabilities (SWD) can help t…
Impact of the “Thinking while Moving in English” intervention on primary school children’s academic outcomes and physical activity

Students aged 9 to 12 years and their parents ( n = 21 dyads) were invited to participate in semi-structured interview…
Effects of An Acute Physical Activity Break on Test Anxiety and Math Test Performance
(1) Background: Test anxiety has been found to negatively affect students' mental health and academic performance. A primary explanation for this is that anxiety-related thoughts occupy working memory resources during testing that cannot be used for test-related processes (such as information retrieval and problem-solving). The present intervention study investigated whether physical activity could decrease anxiety levels and improve maths test p…
