La inclusión laboral de las personas con discapacidad desde la administración pública responsable en la Comunidad Valenciana
2020
En la presente coyuntura socioeconómica, la posibilidad de inclusión a través del empleo de las personas con discapacidad es importante no solo por las posibilidades de autonomía económica, sino también por las oportunidades de socialización. Sobre esta base, y considerando que las empresas socialmente responsables asumen la inclusión de estas personas en sus plantillas como una posibilidad de crecimiento y de diferenciación, en el texto se analiza, de manera descriptiva, el papel que las administraciones públicas (AA. PP.) autonómicas, con competencias en la materia, pueden, deben y están haciendo para fomentar la responsabilidad social corporativa (RSC) y la gestión de la inclusión labora…
Representation of ASD in mass media: analysis of a generalist newspaper

Revisión de evidencias de las técnicas de DIR/Floortime™ para la intervención en niños y niñas con Trastornos del Espectro del Autismo
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…
Service quality from the point of view of people with intellectual disability: relationships with its satisfaction and wellbeing
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)…

Prevalencia de los trastornos del espectro autista: revisión de datos
2016
Published data on the prevalence of autism spectrum disorders point to a significant increase in this indicator. This increase is being studied in numerous publications of analysis, meta-analysis and systematic reviews. The prevalence indicates the proportion of people who suffer at a given time or are diagnosed with a disease. The consequences of the increasing prevalence are relevant from the point of health, social and educational, but especially relevant when as is the case, the cause of the disorder is unknown. It is in this sense that the prevalence study gains importance in order to delimit various circumstances that may give clues to the possible cause or causes that generate disord…
