A Register Study Suggesting Homotypic and Heterotypic Comorbidity Among Individuals With Learning Disabilities
2023
The present study examined whether learning disabilities (LD) in reading and/or math (i.e., reading disability [RD], math disability [MD], and RD+MD) co-occur with other diagnoses. The data comprised a clinical sample (n= 430) with LD identified in childhood and a sample of matched controls (n= 2,140). Their medical diagnoses (according to the International Classification of Diseases nosology) until adulthood (20–39 years) were analyzed. The co-occurrence of LD with neurodevelopmental disorders was considered a homotypic comorbidity, and co-occurrence with disorders or diseases from the other diagnostic categories (i.e., mental and behavioral disorders, diseases of the nervous system, injur…
Gender differences in theory-based predictors of physical activity in university students with disabilities
2021
Abstract University students with disabilities engage in physical activity to a lesser extent than their able-bodied peers, with women reporting less physical activity than men. The present study aimed to examine gender differences in theory-based predictors of physical activity in this population. Spanish university students with different disabilities (n = 1076) completed measures of the Theory of Planned Behaviour constructs and the reduced Spanish version of the Barriers to Physical Activity Questionnaire for People with Mobility Impairments. Self-efficacy and controllability were significantly lower in women and gender differences on the barriers predicting controllability were obtaine…

Potrzeby mieszkaniowe dorosłych osób z niepełnosprawnością intelektualną – perspektywa rodziców
2022
Wprowadzenie. Problematyka samodzielności i niezależności osób z niepełnosprawnością intelektualną jest często omawiana w literaturze pedagogicznej, bywa jednak ujmowana w wąskim zakresie. Obejmuje kwestie podejmowania decyzji w błahych sprawach, pomijając te fundamentalne, np. dotyczące możliwości decydowania o tym, gdzie i z kim zamieszkać. Cel. Głównym celem badania było określenie potrzeb mieszkaniowych dorosłych osób Wyniki. Analiza wypowiedzi rodziców wskazuje na to, że ponad połowa z nich (53%) chciałaby, aby ich dorosłe dziecko w przyszłości mogło nadal mieszkać w domu rodzinnym lub z rodzeństwem; co trzeci rodzic (32,4%) pragnąłby, aby zamieszkało w całodobowym małym domu o charakt…
Rapid automatized naming and learning disabilities : does RAN have a specific connection to reading or not : a replication
2006
The aim of this study was to replicate the study of Waber, Wolff, Forbes, and Weiler (2000), in which the specificity of naming speed deficits (NSD) to reading disability (RD) was examined. 193 children (ages 8 to 11) referred to a child neuropsychological clinic for evaluation of learning disabilities were studied. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) was used to determine how well rapid automatized naming (RAN) discriminated different diagnostic groups (learning impaired (LI) with and without RD) from control and from each other. The conclusion of Waber’s et al. study was that RAN was an excellent tool for detecting risk for learning disabilities in general but was not especially effec…

Setting Individual Goals for Pupils with Profound Intellectual and Multiple Disabilities : Engaging in the Activity Area-Based Curriculum Making
2021
The activity area-based curriculum model (AACM) is used in the Finnish basic education to support pupils—most of whom have profound intellectual and multiple disabilities (PIMD)—who could benefit more from skills that advance independent life coping. Existing studies have concentrated mainly on the Individual Education Plan (IEP) goal-setting process for pupils with milder disabilities than PIMD and have consistently demonstrated significant barriers in the process. This study explores the collaborative IEP goal-setting process for pupils with the AACM. Sixty-five Finnish special education teachers using the AACM participated in the study. Semi-structured interviews were analysed with thema…

Komunikownie się z osobami z niepełnosprawnością w kontekście relacji opiekun- wychowawca - podopieczny - wychowanej. Wybrane utrudnienia i uwarunkow…
2016
Komunikacja interpersonalna (międzyludzka) oznacza porozumiewanie się ludzi między sobą, polegające na przekazywaniu sobie nawzajem myśli, opinii, sądów, informacji o przeżyciach. Komunikowanie się zawsze przebiega między dwiema osobami (nadawcą i odbiorcą), które w określony sposób reagują na wzajemne komunikaty. Jest to proces złożony i uwarunkowany wieloma czynnikami, wśród których szczególnie ważne są kompetencje komunikacyjne jego uczestników (umiejętność wyrażania myśli, precyzyjnego formułowania, rozumienia komunikatów itp ). W artykule autorka omawia istotę oraz uwarunkowania skutecznej komunikacji między osobami z niepełnosprawnością sensoryczną oraz intelektualną a pełnosprawnymi.…
