Standardized on-road tests assessing fitness-to-drive in people with cognitive impairments: A systematic review.
2020
Objective The on-road assessment is the gold standard because of its ecological validity. Yet existing instruments are heterogeneous and little is known about their psychometric properties. This study identified existing on-road assessment instruments and extracted data on psychometric properties and usability in clinical settings. Method A systematic review identified studies evaluating standardized on-road evaluation instruments adapted for people with cognitive impairment. Published articles were searched on PubMed, CINHAL, PsycINFO, Web of Science, and ScienceDirect. Study quality and the level of evidence were assessed using the COSMIN checklist. The collected data were synthetized usi…
‘Celebrating diverse motherhood’: physically disabled women’s counter-narratives to their stigmatised identity as mothers
2018
This study examined how disabled women negotiated their stigmatised identity as mothers by presenting counter-narratives to the culturally dominant narrative of disabled motherhood. Eleven Finnish physically disabled mothers were interviewed. The data were analysed by focusing on these counter-narratives, their linguistic features and their functions in the interviews. The disabled mothers produced four types of counter-narratives about their motherhood experiences: (1) celebrating diverse motherhood through individual coping; (2) performing motherhood through collaborative caring; (3) boosting motherhood through praising one’s children; and (4) normalising (disabled women’s) motherhood thr…
Me, Myself and I - Supporting People with Intellectual Disabilities Towards Self-determination
2020
The transition into work is challenging for people with intellectual disabilities (ID) and there are few digital services that support this process. The transition involves several organizations and professionals that need to collaborate and coordinate their documentation and their initiatives. This prototype paper describes a self-reflective career tool designed to support young adults with ID towards self-determination and transitions into work. The users are supported through features such as mapping of interests, skills and abilities, goal setting and progress overview. The prototype of the self-reflective career tool has been evaluated formatively and is continuously redesigned and fur…
Teacher preparation for inclusion in Norway: a study of beliefs, skills, and intended practices
2017
ABSTRACTThe aim of this study was to examine the relationship between the educational experiences of teacher education students and their attitudes towards planning and making adaptations for children with learning disabilities in inclusive classrooms. Participants comprised pre-service teachers in the second and fourth years of teacher preparation at a major Norwegian university. Fourth-year students were completing a 1-year elective in special education (n = 34) or coursework in other subjects (n = 30). Second-year students were grouped based on their intention to take special education (n = 26) or other coursework (n = 62). Participants rated their beliefs, skills, and intended practices…
Actitudes de padres, profesionales y población general hacia la sexualidad de las personas con discapacidad física e intelectual
2017
Las actitudes negativas hacia la sexualidad de las personas con discapacidad siguen siendo motivo de análisis en tanto que constituyen uno de los principales impedimentos para su desarrollo psicosexual. El presente trabajo analiza las actitudes hacia la sexualidad de las personas con discapacidad física e intelectual que poseen sus familiares, los profesionales que trabajan con ellos y la población general. Para ello, se utiliza la Escala de Actitudes hacia la Sexualidad en Personas con Discapacidad Intelectual (ASEXDI) y la Escala de Actitudes hacia la Sexualidad en Personas con Discapacidad Física (ASEXDF) en una muestra de 300 personas procedentes de tres grupos: 100 familiares, 100 prof…
eHealth Approach for Motivating Physical Activities of People with Intellectual Disabilities
2020
Compared with the general population, people with intellectual disabilities have worse health, lower levels of activity, and greater barriers to participating in fitness activities. Regular physical activity has positive effects on cardiovascular and psychosocial health and thus it is important to identify effective interventions for people with intellectual disabilities in everyday settings. In this position paper we present the design and development of prototypes of game-based eHealth solutions for behaviour change and health promotion by influencing physical activity. Participatory design and agile development have been applied in this project to deliver a system based on three solution…
Actitudes de la población general hacia las relaciones sexuales de las Personas con diversidad funcional: variables moduladoras
2017
La población general no muestra la misma tolerancia hacia las relaciones sexuales entre personas del mismo sexo que entre heterosexuales, y lo mismo ocurre con las relaciones entre personas de diferente edad. El objetivo de este trabajo fue explorar si la tolerancia hacia las relaciones sexuales de las personas con diversidad funcional también depende de aspectos tales como la edad de los miembros de la pareja, la orientación sexual que tengan y sobre todo del tipo de discapacidad. Para ello, 450 personas rellenaron una escala de actitudes hacia las relaciones sexuales en personas con discapacidad donde se cruzaban dos variables (edad y orientación sexual). En una escala entre 1 (Totalmente…
Developing E-Authentication for E-Assessment : Diversity of Students Testing the System in Higher Education
2020
Sähköinen tunnistautuminen on yksi keskeisistä teemoista verkko-opetuksessa, -opiskelussa ja - arvioinnissa. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli tutkia opiskeluunsa erityistä tukea tarvitsevien yliopisto-opiskelijoiden käyttökokemuksia kehitteillä olevasta sähköisestä tunnistautumisjärjestelmästä. Erityistä huomiota kehittämistyössä kiinnitettiin tunnistautumisen saavutettavuuteen. Kaikkiaan 15 opiskelijaa testasi TeSLA-projektin osana kehitettyä tunnistautumisjärjestelmää, johon kuului kasvojentunnistus, äänentunnistus, näppäilyntunnistus, tekstityylianalyysi ja plagioinnin tunnistus. Opiskelijat täyttivät esi- ja jälkikyselylomakkeet sekä osallistuivat henkilökohtaisiin haastatteluihin. T…
Children with Down syndrome in Finland and Italy: comparing adaptive behavior and services
2016
Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare a sample of Italian (n = 29) and Finnish children (n = 32) with Down syndrome for possible differences emerging from diverse educational surroundings.

They were interviewed using standardized scales. Results: No differences in adaptive behavior or challenging behavior were observed between the samples. All children from the Italian sample were fully included in mainstream classes, while in the Finnish sample, 92% of all the school years were spent in self-contained sp…
