Relationship between static posturography and gait analysis with the dizziness handicap inventory in vestibular patients

2020
The techniques of DIR/Floortime™ have taken a certain momentum in our country. The aim of this article is to analyze the evidence on the efficacy of these techniques for which four databases have been searched (PsychArticles, ERIC, PubMed and Medline). After refining the documents found by applying the inclusion/exclusion criteria, only 18 empirical studies were detected (7 single case studies, 3 quasi-experimental studies and 6 randomized clinical trials). Two of the studies are re-analyses of previous studies or follow-up studies. Once the different studies have been evaluated, it is concluded that more research is needed on the techniques of DIR/Floortime™. Although the evidence points t…
The Relationship of Sexism and Gender Ideology to Self-Concept and Self-Esteem in Persons with Spinal Cord Injury

2017
Service quality in centers for individuals with intellectual disability plays an important role in their satisfaction and well-being. However, the perspective of in- dividuals with intellectual disability has been relatively neglected in previous research studies. For this reason, the current study aims to analyze service quality (functional, relational, and tangibles) considering the point of view of individuals with intellectual disability, and its links to satisfaction with the center and subjective well-being. The sample was composed of 786 subjects with intellectual disability who were using different types of centers (day-care services, occupational services, and residential services)…

To do so, teams focused on a task to improve the quality of life of individuals with intellectual disability. Professionals assigned to the control condition did not participate in these teams, and they continued with their usual work. All the participating professionals answered a questionnaire about burnout…

"Clase al revés". Nuevos escenarios en la formación didácticotecnológica de docentes de un Centro de Educación Especial.
2016
