Developmental Disabilities Network Journal

The three University Centers for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (UCEDDs) in New York served as Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs (CYSHCN) Regional Support Centers (RSC). The RSCs aimed to increase the capacity of local CYSHCN programs to connect with and support CYSHCN and their families in their community. RSCs conducted activities in the areas of family engagement, training and educational materials development, and technical assistance. RSCs engaged in ongoing dialogue with CYSHCN and their families to learn about experiences to inform systemic improvements through focus groups, interviews, and surveys. This article describes a statewide framework to serve …

From Strain To Strength: A Narrative Review Of Wellness Dimensions In Caregiving, Valerie Perkoski

Developmental Disabilities Network Journal

This narrative review investigates the positive aspects of being a family caregiver for individuals with developmental disabilities (DDs) using the National Wellness Institute’s Six Dimensions of Wellness (Emotional, Physical, Intellectual, Occupational, Spiritual, and Social). While much research has traditionally focused on “caregiver burden,” this review highlights the often-overlooked beneficial outcomes of caregiving. Emotional wellness is enhanced through gratitude and resilience. Physical wellness is discussed through interventions like physical activity, which can reduce caregiver distress. Intellectual wellness emphasizes personal growth and self-actualization, helping caregivers find fulfillment in their roles. Occupational wellness shows that employment and community engagement can reduce anxiety among …

Evaluating The Efficacy Of A Mobile Epilepsy Education Package (Meep) Application Developed For The Parents/Caregivers Of Children With Epilepsy In Canada: Protocol For A Unicentre Parallel Open Randomized Trial, Dilek Sayik, Ayfer Acikgoz, Argerie Tsimicalis, Kenneth A. Myers

Journal of Pediatric Epilepsy

Epilepsy education can help address a multitude of concerns encountered by families of children with seizures. The Mobile Epilepsy Education Package (MEEP) was developed, tested and integrated into practice in Turkey to manage epilepsy and increase treatment compliance. This study aims to develop English and French versions of MEEP, adapt it culturally, and evaluate its effectiveness. A two-group, single-center, randomized controlled intervention trial with 1:1 allocation ratio will be conducted in the Pediatric Neurology Clinic of the Montreal Children’s Hospital. Seventy-two caregivers of children with epilepsy (intervention=36, control= 36), aged 1-17 years, will be recruited. Family Introduction Form, Epilepsy Information …

Journal of Pediatric Epilepsy

Background: Epilepsy is the most common neurologic disorder affecting children in Nigeria. It is often associated with other neurologic comorbidities in addition to epileptic seizures, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and cognitive, visual and hearing impairments, which can be unrecognized while focusing on the seizures. Methods: This cross-sectional study assessed the prevalence, pattern and predictors of neurologic comorbidities among 100 children with Epilepsy (CWE) attending the pediatric neurology clinic of Jos University Teaching Hospital, Jos, Nigeria, and age and sex-matched controls selected consecutively. Data were summarized using frequencies and proportions. Chi-square and Mann- Whitney U tests were used …

Llm-Powered Diagnostic Insights For Business Messaging Via Rich Communication Services, Tania Pradeep Gandhe

Defensive Publications Series

Managing Rich Communication Services (RCS) in the context of business messaging campaigns involves navigating complex asynchronous message states, technical error codes, and delivery telemetry across diverse regions. Businesses that use RCS struggle to interpret raw logs which leads to increased support tickets for the provider and delays in troubleshooting. This disclosure describes techniques that address insight gaps that appear between observed errors and their root causes in tools that manage RCS for Business Messaging (RBM). Rather than simply report an error code, a large language model (LLM) is used to determine and display the likely root causes of the error. …

Collaborative Learning In Clinical Education As A Catalyst To Support Foundational Professional Competencies In Speech-Language Pathology: A Theoretical Framework, Lori-Ann Ferraro

Teaching and Learning in Communication Sciences & Disorders

As a part of every speech-language pathology graduate program in the US, clinical education is an integral and required element for both academic accreditation and the eventual clinical certification for students. Clinical education is significantly important when considering overall educational models because it is an aspect of a student’s education that contributes to their ability to make connections between what is learned in the classroom and its real-world clinical application while contributing to the acquisition of competencies. The 2:1 collaborative learning model is supported by sound learning theories and evidence from the literature. A theoretical framework was created to demonstrate …

Developing Critical Thinking Skills In Undergraduate Csd Students Through A Case Study Project, Lydia R. Kruse, Windi Krok

Teaching and Learning in Communication Sciences & Disorders

Critical thinking skills are crucial for Speech-Language Pathologists to effectively assess, diagnose, and treat communication disorders. However, the optimal timing for teaching these skills to future clinicians remains an open question. Most of the current research is focused on developing critical thinking skills in graduate students, though there is some evidence to suggest that students should be working to develop critical thinking skills during their undergraduate education. This work describes the critical thinking skills demonstrated by undergraduate students in a Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD program) through a case study project, as well as their self-perceptions. Results indicate relative weakness …

Development And Impact Of A Review Course For The Praxis Examination In Speech- Language Pathology, Miriam Baigorri, George Pagano

Teaching and Learning in Communication Sciences & Disorders

Abstract

The Praxis II: Subject Assessment in Speech-Language Pathology is a required national examination for certification and licensure in the United States. However, disparities in pass rates, particularly among culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) test takers, create barriers to professional entry. This study examines students' perceptions of the effectiveness of an Examination Preparation Course, designed to enhance student success through structured content review, practice exams, and test-taking strategies. A total of 70 graduates (2018–2023) who completed the course participated in an online survey assessing their demographics, perceptions of the course’s effectiveness, and confidence levels before and after taking the course. …
