“…The present study aims at investigating the effectiveness of the Dawson-Guare program on executive functions in children with neuropsychological/developmental learning disabilities. The results obtained from the comparison of executive functions of the two experimental (Dawson) and control groups after deleting the pretest effect ( The results of the present study indicated are consistent with the results of the studies conducted by Ebrahimi et al (2014), Abedi and Malekpour (2010), Diamond (2012), Coleman et al (2006), Gartland and Struass (2007), Hanley (2005) and Strayhorn (2002) which reported that early intervention programs are effective on the executive functions of children with learning disabilities (Gartland & Strosnider, 2007;Coleman, Buysse, & Neitzel, 2006;Diamond, 2012;Strayhorn, 2002;Hanly, 2005).…”

The present study aimed to examine the effectiveness of the Dawson-Guare Program on executive functions in children with Neuropsychological/Developmental Learning Disability (NDLD). The Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale Intelligence (WPPSI) and Behavior Rating Inventory for Executive Function-Preschool (BREIEF-P) were chosen for the purposes of this study and 40 children of the total number of 700, exhibited executive functions difficulties indicating a probable NDLD. The 40 students diagnosed with NDLD were equally separated into two groups. The intervention group attend a 15-week Dawson-Guare program while students of the control group followed the regular preschool schedule. All participants were tested prior to the start and after the end of the 15-week period. The results indicated that after a 15-week Dawson-Guare program, the intervention group improved all of dimensions of executive functions that examined. In conclusion, Dawson-Guare program training can be an effective intervention for improving executive functions for children with NDLD.

“…Although medication has traditionally been used to control the maladaptive behaviors of students with ADHD, researchers are now suggesting that behavior modification techniques that teach students to regulate their own behaviors by instructing them on how to decrease maladaptive behaviors (e.g., getting out of their seat) and increase positive behaviors (e.g., paying attention to the teacher; Kern, Ringdahl, Hilt, & Sterling-Turner, 2001), may be equally beneficial. One way this can be done is by providing feedback to students about their behavior (Strayhorn, 2002).…”

We look at three common research scenarios, one in the behavioral domain (i.e., disruptive behaviors) one in the cognitive domain (i.e., academic achievement), and one in the affective domain (i.e., anxiety and stress) for which school psychologists are asked to address important questions related to change. We list measurement and statistical considerations across these scenarios, including whether variables are manifest or latent, the scales of measurement, the dimensionality of measures, the units of analysis, the sample size, and the frequency or duration of time, given the primary nature of the variables under study. We suggest that researchers carefully consider whether assumptions can be met employing classical general linear models, or whether contemporary alternatives, such as hierarchical linear modeling (HLM), should be recommended for the more appropriate handling of data.

“…Wat een kind bij zijn geboorte meekrijgt, bepaalt zijn toekomst; volgens sommigen zelfs zo krachtig dat omgeving of vrije wil hier niet tegenop kunnen. 2 Tegelijkertijd heerst naast dit biologisch determinisme een opvallend optimisme ten aanzien van de maakbaarheid van het kind, geheel in de lijn van het klassieke behaviorisme van Watson aan het begin van de vorige eeuw. Watson beschouwde het kind als een onbeschreven blad en had een onbeperkt vertrouwen in de invloed van leren en ervaring.…”

“…Het onder de knie krijgen van het vioolspel kost ongeveer 1200 uur, kung-fu 600 uur, piano leren spelen 450 uur, en mondharmonica 50 uur. 34 Leren en veranderen kost dus tijd. Deze aantallen contrasteren sterk met de gemiddelde duur van de meeste behandelingen, die eerder rond de 30 uur ligt.…”
