Abstract:
This study examined the effects of the second level (intermediate acoustical processing of rhyming words) and the third level (deep-semantic processing of words in sentences) of "levels of processing" framework on memory performance of four types of students (52 "normal" students, 50 students with learning disabilities, 25 students with mild mental handicap, and 25 students with emotional handicap). Statistical analysis revealed that "normal" students and students with emotional handicap performed significantly higher than students with mild mental handicap. However, the analysis did not reveal significant differences among "normal" students, students with learning disabilities, and students with emotional handicap. Nor were there significant differences between students with learning disabilities and those with mild mental handicap. Further, the statistical analysis revealed that the interaction among the four groups of students, encoding levels of processing, and types of retrieval cues was not significant. However, a significant interaction was found between types of retrieval cues and encoding levels of processing. The data on the memory test showed that the mean number correct for all students was the highest when stimulus words were presented and encoded semantically and retrieved using a congruent semantic cue. A mismatch between encoding processing conditions and retrieval cues produced poor memory performance regardless of levels of processing. The findings indicate that appropriate use of levels of processing, congruity, and encoding specificity for retrieval cues enhances recall of information. Recommendations for classroom instructions and future research are discussed.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to explore the challenges parents of children with mental health disabilities and disorders in Namibia face when attempting to access mental healthcare resources. The study used a qualitative exploratory approach. Purposive sampling was used to include parents, caregivers and relatives of children with metal health disabilities and disorders. The sample also included key informants. Data was collected through focus group discussions with the participants and individual interviews with the key informants. Overall, a total of 41 people provided information for this study. Thematic data analysis was used to assess the data. The results suggest that parents/caregivers and relatives of children with mental health disabilities and disorders do experience barriers accessing mental health care. The challenges go beyond commonly-reported problems in the literature such as stigma and discrimination and include basic challenges such as a lack of transportation to healthcare services and a lack of acceptance of the mental health disorders by the parents. The study offers recommendations for how service provision can be improved and how parents of children with mental health challenges can have better access to services.

Abstract:
This research was designed to examine two broad issues in relation to the investigative interviewing of children (aged 9 to 13 years) with mild and moderate intellectual disabilities. First, how do children with intellectual disabilities perform (relative to children matched for chronological and mental age) when recalling an event in response to various questions? Second, what question types and interview strategies do police officers and caregivers use to elicit accurate and detailed accounts about an event from children with intellectual disabilities? The rationale for exploring each of these issues was to determine possible ways of improving the elicitation of evidence from children with intellectual disabilities. While children with intellectual disabilities constitute a high proportion of all child victims of abuse (Conway, 1994; Goldman, 1994; Morse, et ah, 1970), they rarely provide formal reports of abuse and of those incidents that are reported, few cases progress to court (Henry & Gudjonsson, 1999). Study 1 used a standard interview protocol containing a variety of questions and an interview structure commonly used in investigative interviews. Specifically, the memory and suggestibility of eighty children with either a mild and moderate intellectual disability (M age = 10.85 years) was examined when recalling an innocuous event that was staged at their school. The children's performance was compared with that of two control groups; a group of mainstream children matched for mental age and a group of mainstream children matched for chronological age. Overall, this study showed that children with both mild and moderate intellectual disabilities can provide accurate and highly specific event-related information hi response to questions recommended in best-practice guidelines. However, their recall was less complete and less clear in response to free-narrative prompts and less accurate in response to specific questions when compared to both mainstream age-matched groups. Study 2 provided an in-depth analysis of the types of questions and strategies used by twenty-eight police officers and caregivers when interviewing children with either mild or moderate intellectual disabilities (M age = 11.13 years) about a repeated event that was staged at their school. The results revealed that while the approach used by the police officers was generally consistent with best-practice recommendations (i.e., their interviews contained few leading, coercive or negative strategies), there were many ways in which their approach could be improved. This study also showed that the caregivers used a high proportion of direct and negative strategies to elicit information from their children. Even when caregivers used open-ended questions, their children provided less event-related information than they did to police interviewers. The results of both studies were discussed in relation to current 'best-practice' guidelines for interviewing children and recommendations were offered for improving the quality of field interviews with children who have intellectual disabilities.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine the diagnostic and classification accuracy of placement decisions for Mildly/Educably Mentally Handicapped (M/EMH) children in British Columbia. Evidence from the United States suggests that classification decisions are often made on the basis of idiosyncratic student behaviours and the subjective opinions of educators, not on the basis of empirical evidence. Although Canadian special education practice is often based on that of the U.S., no major study of the accuracy of diagnosis and classification has been undertaken in this country. Based on a review of the literature, internationally accepted criteria for the diagnosis and classification of M/EMH students were formulated. In addition, variables that might influence the use of these criteria were identified. Elementary age students from two metropolitan Vancouver school districts who had been suspected of being M/EMH during a two-year period served as subjects (n=106). Of these 57 were classififed as M/EMH and 49 were classified as regular education. An evaluation of IQ, adaptive behaviour, reading and arithmetic achievement, maladaption, and visual and hearing acuity was performed for each subject. Preliminary data analyses permitted the formation of an achievement composite score and the pooling of subjects from the two districts. Using an internationally accepted two-factor diagnostic model, analyses were performed to investigate the classification accuracy for the sample. Cut-off criteria used with the two-factor model were adjusted to those of both the American Association for Mental Deficiency and the draft B.C. Special Education Guidelines. Where subjects could not be confirmed by the application of these models, sources of classification error were identified. Next, a series of discriminant function analyses, each representing a historical step in the development of diagnostic and classification models, were performed and the classification accuracy of each examined. Finally, a full model of all measured variables was examined using both a forced discriminant function procedure and a step-wise technique. The findings suggested that a combination of the adaptive behaviour, IQ, and achievement variables provided the highest classification accuracy. This result is consistent with much of the research from the U.S. IQ scores were found to consistently dominate classification decisions. In addition, academic achievement proved to be a valid predictor, either in combination with social adaptation or maladaption. However, maladaptive behaviour, whenever entered with social adaptation, overwhelmed the latter as a descriminator of group membership. The highest classification rate for the total sample was 92.0% for the combination of adaptive behaviour, IQ, and academic achievement. Although visual and hearing acuity were not found to be related to group membership, it was discovered that testing for these variables was not occurring in the districts studied in accordance with accepted best practice. A disproportionate number of M/EMH students proved to be untestable using school-based audiological and visual sweep testing techniques. In cases of untestability, the assumption that the child can see and hear within normal tolerances appears to be made, and efforts to use alternative testing procedures are not pursued. In addition, visual and hearing testing appears to occur after the administration of standardized cognitive tests, and not before, as best practices would dictate. The principal contributions of this research are (1) that it is the first major study of diagnostic and classification accuracy with a Canadian M/EMH population, (2) that it advises the inclusion of academic achievement as a domain of adaptive behaviour based on empirical evidence of the importance of that variable in diagnosing M/EMH, and (3) it examines the role of auditory and visual acuity testing in M/EMH diagnosis and classification.

Abstract:
Drawing from developmental and behaviourist perspectives, a theoretical base is described for designing intervention and assessment strategies to teach and monitor picto-graphic symbol use for augmentative and alternative communication (AAC). These strategies were investigated with students with severe intellectual disability. An intervention strategy was developed that presented symbol use, symbol discrimination and symbol-object relationships as a skill cluster in a functional context. The effects of the intervention were examined through a multiple baseline across settings research design. The study explored the problem of generalisation of symbol use by examining generalisation from use in choice-making to use in labeling, and to symbol comprehension. The results provide a limited validation of naturalistic intervention strategies to teach AAC use to this particular population. They suggest that naturalistic teaching strategies have potential to be used successfully with students from the population of interest to teach both functional use of a communication board displaying picto-graphic symbols and more generalised symbol skills.

Abstract:
In this thesis based on survey methodology, a questionnaire was distributed to 36 parents who were raising a child with a developmental disability. Parents were asked about their views on social sexual skills development during the formative years, their satisfaction with available social sexual services and the importance they attached to these services. A parent group interview was conducted to enhance understanding of this area. Findings indicated that parents do support social sexual skill development for their children and teens. Parents also indicated that it was important for parents to have access to relevant social sexual services.

Thesis (M.A. (Psychology)) --University of Limpopo, 2013
This study explored the phenomenological experiences of mothers of children with mental retardation in two special schools (i.e. Fulufhelo and Pfunanani). The former is in Vhembe while the later is situated in Mopani district in Limpopo province. A qualitative approach was followed and participants were selected using purposive sampling. The sample consisted of 24 members (12 for individual interviews and 12 for focus group) whose children were diagnosed with mental retardation at the time of the study. Data were collected through unstructured interviews and analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. The following psychological themes emerged from the study: mothers’ subjective understanding of mental retardation; mothers’ understanding of the causes of mental retardation; living with a mental retarded child; psychological reactions of mothers to a diagnosis of mental retardation and mothers’ causal explanation of mental retardation. The present study discovered that all families with mentally retarded children are directly or indirectly affected by this condition.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of a group art therapy intervention on psychological well-being of Korean mothers of children with disabilities. This study employed a quasi-experimental pre- and post-test research design with non-random assignment of participants to either the art therapy intervention group (AG) or the control group (CG). The present study quantitatively examined the effectiveness of the group art therapy intervention using four standardized measurements (Parental Distress sub-scale from Parenting Stress Index-Short Form, Perceived Stress Scale, Beck Depression Inventory-II, & The Multidimensional Scale for Social Support) assessing parenting stress, perceived stress, depression, and perceived social support. In addition, the Draw-a-Person-in-the-Rain (the DAPR) assessment with numerical scoring system was used to assess the mothers’ stress.

A total of 44 participants from multiple regions across Korea were included, and mothers in AG (n = 22) participated in 6 sessions of 100 minutes in length. The results of the statistical analysis showed significant differences between the two groups in parenting stress, perceived stress, and depression with those in the AG reporting a greater decrease in parenting stress, perceived stress, and depression than those in the CG. In terms of perceived social support, no significant difference was found between the AG and the CG. The results of the DAPR-Stress scale showed that stress indicators on the post-drawing assessment decreased significantly compared to the pre-drawing assessment after participating in the art therapy intervention. Thus, the art-based projective drawing assessment (the DAPR) supported the quantitative results of the art therapy intervention on decreasing stress. Overall findings support the effectiveness of the group art therapy intervention in enhancing psychological well-being of Korean mothers of children with disabilities.

Abstract:
There has been a growing trend towards integrating persons with disabilities into community life. Mathematics is important to the success of such an initiative, but very little attention has been given to this area. This paper presents the results of a four-year study examining the strategies used by intellectually disabled children when adding numbers.
At the beginning of the study, all subjects could count to 10 and recognize numbers to 10, but most could not add. Subjects were evaluated each year on their ability to solve addition problems with sums no greater than nine. Subjects were divided into three groups based on first year results. Those in group 1 demonstrated no knowledge of addition, group 2 used the erroneous strategy of adding one to an addend, and group 3 included children with Down Syndrome who used a variety of strategies.
Over the next three years, subjects, in general, progressed in a manner similar to nondisabled children with regard to strategies, the order in which they were developed, error patterns, and the order in which number pairs were memorized.
