Égalité des chances à l'école et politiques éducatives d'inclusion en Afrique sub Saharienne : de la rhétorique à la réalité pratique
2011
This paper provides an analysis of the relationship between educational policies of inclusion in Sub-Saharan Africa and school achievement in relation to learners with disabilities. The principle of equal opportunity at school requires the definition of a common framework and the establishment of systems to provide different responses to the difficulties and disadvantages of any kind. Inclusive education is presented as a form of education that could take into account the diverse needs of all learners. We present its different theoretical mechanisms and the limits of its effective implementation in the context of sub Saharan Africa. The results show that despite the existence of a national …
Inclusive educational practices as perceived by prospective special education teachers in Estonia, Finland, and the United States.
1997
A survey of 125 prospective special education teachers assessed perceptions and beliefs about inclusive education in Estonia, Finland, and the United States (Michigan). The attitudes toward inclusion were rather critical. The Estonians were the most critical group, the Finns the least critical. The meanings attached to a student with severe mental retardation were related to the educational setting assessed as the best for this student. The findings suggest that special educators perceptions about inclusion are related to the prevailing implementation of inclusive education. The results support also the idea that the meanings attached to a person with a disability are connected with behavio…
Rehabilitative treatment proposals in pediatric non-verbal syndrome
2017
Nonverbal learning disability (NVLD) can be defined as a specific learning disorder peculiar for deficits in non-verbal area, such as visuospatial and visuo-constructive difficulties, fine motor coordination impairments, and poor mathematics achievement, associated with well-developed language skills. aim of the present work is suggesting rehabilitative proposal for management treatment of NVLD in pediatric age tailored on children and based on EBM.
Molecular and patho-physiological basis of syndromes with developmental anomalies and intellectual disability
2013
Intellectual disability (ID) corresponds to abnormal intellectual performances and adaptive functions, beginning in childhood. It is estimated that 2-3% of individuals develop a ID, which represents a significant medical challenge since people with ID are frequently in situations of social dependence. Overall, a critical involvement of genetic factors in this disease is suspected. To date, several hundreds of genes are known to be responsible for ID. The ID is particularly characterized by extreme clinical and genetic heterogeneity, that made it resistant to conventional genetic studies. However, it is classicaly separated between syndromic ID, which may be clinically recognizable due to as…

Age and sex-based differences in functional strength of adults participating in Special Olympics
2022
Muscular strength is a critical component of physical health. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to examine age- and sex-based differences in functional strength and rates of referral for education in a large international sample of Special Olympics athletes. A total of 30,358 (male = 19,661) adult (20–69 years old) athlete functional strength records were utilized from the Special Olympics Healthy Athletes database. Descriptive statistics were computed for the following tests: timed sit to stand, partial sit-up, grip strength, and seated push-up. Analyses of variance with Fisher-Hayter pairwise comparisons generally supported age-related decreases in strength among both males and fe…
Localization of non-specific X-linked mental retardation gene (MRX73) to Xp22.2.
2001
Clinical and molecular studies are reported on a family (MRX73) of five males with non-specific X-linked mental retardation (XLMR). A total of 33 microsatellite and RFLP markers was typed. The gene for this XLMR condition was been linked to DXS1195, with a lod score of 2.36 at theta = 0. The haplotype and multipoint linkage analyses suggest localization of the MRX73 locus to an interval of 2 cM defined by markers DXS8019 and DXS365, in Xp22.2. This interval contains the gene of Coffin-Lowry syndrome (RSK2), where a missense mutation has been associated with a form of non-specific mental retardation. Therefore, a search for RSK2 mutations was performed in the MRX73 family, but no causal muta…
