Leveraging Community Cultural Wealth Through Counterspaces And Counterstories: A Black Administrator’S Autoethnography, Renee G. Heywood
Doctoral Dissertations
On January 20, 2017, our nation’s leadership changed hands from the first biracial president to a president whose campaign and actions further polarized the United States of America.

Defining Inclusion: Surveying Educator Perceptions And Practices In Chile, Christina A. Bosch
Defining Inclusion: Surveying Educator Perceptions And Practices In Chile, Christina A. Bosch
Doctoral Dissertations

Most have been developed in clinics or segregated settings, and have not been demonstrated as effective within general education classrooms. This research assessed the effectiveness of an intervention to teach two students with ASD to mand (request) within the general education classroom. Generalization and maintenance of independent manding (requesting) skills will be assessed. Both students learned to mand within the natural environment and demonstrated maintenance and …
