Apa, Alissa. "Ball catching strategies in children with and without developmental coordination disorder". Thesis, McGill University, 2008. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=115990.
Texto completoResumen
The purpose was to examine the ball catching strategies of 15 children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) compared to 15 of their peers without DCD, and 15 younger children matched on ball skills. A ball catching activity (catching 10 consecutive balls in five different positions) and the developmental sequences proposed by Haywood and Getchell (2005) were used to evaluate movement patterns. Children with DCD caught significantly fewer balls than their peers at the chest and above the head. Children with DCD demonstrated delayed arm action catching on the right and delayed body actions when balls were projected away from body compared to their peers. In addition, development of some body actions of children with DCD was different compared to younger children. Results suggested that children with DCD have not developed accurate and consistent movement patterns.

Vin, Jerry. "ROBOTIC FINGERSPELLING HAND FOR THE DEAF-BLIND". DigitalCommons@CalPoly, 2013. https://digitalcommons.calpoly.edu/theses/1100.
Texto completoResumen
Because communication has always been difficult for people who are deaf-blind, The Smith-Kettlewell Eye Research Institute (SKERI), in conjunction with the California Polytechnic State University Mechanical Engineering department, has commissioned the design, construction, testing, and programming of a robotic hand capable of performing basic fingerspelling to help bridge the communication gap. The hand parts were modeled using SolidWorks and fabricated using an Objet rapid prototyper. Its fingers are actuated by 11 Maxon motors, and its wrist is actuated by 2 Hitec servo motors. The motors are controlled by Texas Instruments L293D motor driver chips, ATtiny2313 slave microcontroller chips programmed to act as motor controllers, and a master ATmega644p microcontroller. The master controller communicates with a computer over a USB cable to receive sentences typed by a sighted user. The master controller then translates each letter into its corresponding hand gesture in the American Manual Alphabet and instructs each motor controller to move each finger joint into the proper position.

Texto completoResumen
The aim of the study was to obtain preliminary normative data for two tests of hand motor function (Successive Finger Tapping and Purdue Pegboard tests) and two tests of verbal fluency ("S"-Words-In-One-Minute and Words-In-One-Minute), administered in English, on a non-clinical sample of black, isiXhosa-speaking unskilled workers with a background of relatively disadvantaged former DET education (N = 33). The sample was equally distributed for gender; educational level was restricted to 11 - 12 years; age range was 18 - 40 years divided further into two age categories (18 - 29 and 30 - 40 years). Results of t-test comparative analyses revealed significant age effects on both trials of the Successive Finger Tapping test in the direction of the younger age group outperforming the older age group, and a marginal but consistent tendency towards poorer performance at an earlier age stage than proposed by the available literature, for the Purdue Pegboard, "S"Words- In-One-Minute and Words-In-One-Minute. Gender effects were only in evidence on the Purdue Pegboard in the direction of females outperforming males. A descriptive comparison of the norms acquired for the present study with available normative data for English first language speaking populations with higher levels and/ or relatively advantaged quality of education revealed consistently poorer performance for the present study. The findings highlight the effect of relatively low levels and/ or poor quality of education on both verbal and non-verbal neuropsychological test performance and confirm the need for demographically specific normative data.

Green, Janet E. "Using Hand-Held Technologies To Support the Transition of Youth With Intellectual Disabilities Into Adult Roles". Thesis, Walden University, 2015. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3706748.
Texto completoResumen
People with intellectual disabilities (ID) struggle with social interactions that are vital to the development of a high quality of life. Although evidence exists to support the use of technology as cognitive aids for youth with ID, little exists on the use of common hand-held devices for social support. The use of such devices has the potential to level the playing field in adult social roles, helping people with ID make and keep relationships. It is unclear how applications like video chatting might be used to support transition-age youth with ID in adult social roles. Using a framework of modeling (i.e., social learning), generalization across settings (i.e., ecological systems), and self-determination, this single-case study was developed to learn the effect of direct instruction of youth with ID on initiation of and responses to others in adult social roles while using common hand-held devices. Three participants, selected from 9 youth participating in a structured social skills class, were taught to initiate interaction and respond to initiations made by others with modeled support in self-selected adult social settings. Visual analysis of graphed data showed generally increased initiations and responses. Percent of nonoverlapping data (PND) and percent of all nonoverlapping data (PAND) found varied effect size from one participant to the next. Quality of interactions had mixed results across participants. The results found these 3 transition-age youth with ID to be quite adept in their use of common hand-held devices, and they all used them successfully to access support. These findings suggest that the use of well known devices may increase the number of people who can provide social support, reduce the cost of devices and live supports, and reduce the of stigma of having a paid staff shadowing the individual.

Texto completoResumen
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between mixed eye-hand dominance and letter/word reversals in learning disabled and normal readers. Previous research had shown links between mixed dominance and reading disabilities, especially those disabilities related to visuo-spatial deficits. However, due to the different approaches to conceptualizing lateral preferences, the wide variety of methods used to assess laterality, and the heterogeneity of subjects exhibiting reading disabilities, many studies have been contradictory and inconclusive. This study was designed to: assess laterality on a continuum, investigate the specific area of mixed eye-hand dominance, and determine if there is a statistically significant relationship between the degree of mixed dominance and the specific reading problem of letter and word reversals.The research sample consisted of 53 learning disabled males and 44 males from regular education classrooms, randomly selected from a public school system in northern Indiana. Mixed eye-hand dominance was assessed by the General Laterality Factor and the Visual Activities Factor of the Lateral Preference Schedule. The degree of letter/word reversal difficulty was-determined by the Jordan Left-Right Reversal Test. Each subject was administered both instruments either individually or in small groups.The data was analyzed for statistical significance by computing Pearson product moment correlation coefficients. To compare the learning disabled readers and normal readers for significant differences in age and the degree of mixed eye-hand dominance, t tests were conducted. Two research questions were then addressed by examining the findings:Research Question #1: Is there a statistically significant relationship between mixed eye-hand dominance and letter/word reversal errors in learning disabled and normal readers? A statistically significant difference was found between the degree of mixed eye-hand dominance and reversal errors in the learning disabled group. No other statistically significant relationships were found.Research Question #2: Is there a greater degree of mixed eye-hand dominance in learning disabled students than in normal readers? There were no statistically significant differences between learning disabled and normal readers in the degree of mixed eye-hand dominance.It was concluded that there were no statistically significant relationships between mixed eye-hand dominance and reversal errors in normal readers or when groups of normal readers and learning disabled students were combined. There was, however, a statistically significant positive relationship between mixed dominance and reversal errors when learning disabled students were grouped separately. The greater the degree of mixed eye-hand dominance, the higher the reversal error score in learning disabled students.Attempts to develop more sensitive and reliable instruments to assess lateral preferences and specific reading problems were recommended. Additionally, studies investigating the relationship between lateral preferences and reading performance should continue.Department of Educational Psychology

Texto completoResumen
Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) is a tool that assesses function and symptoms in the upper limbs from the patient's perspective. It is an instrument that evaluates the upper limb as a functional unit, regardless of the affliction or its location. It has been translated into a number of languages and has proven to be valid and reliable. It has also been used as a function measure in clinical outcome studies. Inter and intra-examiner reliability in patients with rheumatoid arthritis constituted the psychometric properties analyzed. The present study analyzed the behavior of the items on the translated and validated Portuguese version of DASH in a sample composed of patients with chronic or acute illness in the upper limb or limbs. A methodological study was carried out on a sample of 309 patients with repetitive strain injury or previous fractures, constituting two sub-samples. Principal component factorial analysis and discriminative factorial analysis were performed. The sub-samples presented significant differences in average scores regarding gender, age, working condition and location of injury. The KMO (Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin) Test and Bartlett Test (Bartlett Test of Sphericity) showed adequate adaptation of the data to the factorial analysis, which identified 3 factors with Cronbach alphas between 0.77 and 0.94, explaining 59% of the variance in the overall sample. Strong positive and negative correlations were observed among the items of the instrument. The discriminative analysis adequately classified 93% of the patients regarding group of origin and identified eleven items with a discriminative power between groups of individuals who reported symptoms and function (physical dimension). In the present study, DASH proved to be a valid, reliable measure in the identification of different degrees of function and diagnostic groups, enabling discrimination and comparative observation of the behavior of the items in the sub-samples studied.O Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) é um instrumento que avalia função e sintomas no membro superior sob a perspectiva do paciente. Trata-se de um instrumento que, independente da afecção ou de sua localização, avalia o membro superior enquanto uma unidade funcional. Já traduzido para diversos idiomas mostra-se válido e confiável e tem sido utilizado em estudos de desfecho clínico como medida de função. As propriedades psicométricas analisadas no estudo que constituiu a versão traduzida e adaptada do instrumento para o português foram confiabilidade inter e intra-examinador em pacientes com artrite reumatóide. O presente estudo analisa o comportamento dos itens da versão do DASH traduzida e validada para o português em amostra constituída por pacientes com doença crônica ou aguda, uni ou bilateralmente, no membro superior. Foi realizado um estudo metodológico em amostra de 309 pacientes apresentando LER/DORT ou fraturas prévias, constituindo duas subamostras. Foram realizadas análise fatorial de componentes principais e análise fatorial discriminante. As subamostras apresentaram diferenças significativas tanto no escore médio do instrumento quanto relacionadas a sexo, idade, condição de trabalho e localização da lesão. O KMO (Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin) e o teste de Bartlett (Bartlett Test of Spherricity) mostraram boa adequação dos dados à análise fatorial, que identificou 3 fatores com alphas de Cronbach entre 0,77 e 0,94 explicando 59% da variância na amostra total. Foram observadas fortes correlações positivas e negativas entre os itens do instrumento. A análise discriminante classificou adequadamente 93% dos pacientes conforme o grupo de origem e identificou onze itens com poder discriminante entre os grupos, que informam sobre sintomas e função (dimensão física). Neste estudo, o DASH revelou-se uma medida válida e confiável na identificação de diferentes níveis de função e grupos de diagnósticos, possibilitando discriminação e observação comparativa do comportamento de seus itens nas subamostras estudadas.

Texto completoResumen
With advances in the health field and consequent elimination and control of a number of acute illnesses, there has been an increase in chronic and/or incapacitating illnesses. This situation has become one of the greatest concerns of health service professionals, clientele and managers, and has led to the systematization of clinical practices so as to facilitate communication among health professionals, clientele and institutions. The use of classifications and standardized measurement tools helps avoids subjective, biased opinions. In 2001, the World Health Organization (WHO) approved the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) with the aim of providing a scientific basis for understanding and studying health and health-related conditions through determinants and effects. In 2003, the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH), which is a tool used to measure symptoms and functions of the upper limbs, was adapted to Portuguese. In Brazil, health professionals in the field of rehabilitation especially physical therapists providing care for individuals with musculoskeletal disorders of the upper limbs face the two-fold challenge of implementing the ICF in clinical practice and research, and adopting health measures that are compatible with the model the classification proposes. Thus, the aims of the present study were the following: (1) investigate the possibility of comparing DASH items to ICF categories; and (2) evaluate the psychometric properties of the Brazilian version of DASH through the Rasch methodology, and consequently assess its possible recommendation for clinical use among workers with repetitive strain injuries. A further aim was to describe the degree of functional compromise of such workers, codifying results through the ICF. The results of the investigations are presented in two articles. The first demonstrates that DASH adapts well to the theoretical ICF model. The second highlights the large number of erratic items in the Portuguese version of DASH, that is, items that allow a wide variety of responses and a number of "very easy" items for which the responses are quite predictable. This indicates problems related to the validity of the instrument for this sample. Taking the sample characteristics and the high degree of functional compromise into account, it is possible that the erratic items present different behavior in other groups. As DASH proved to be adapted to the theoretical ICF model, its use in rehabilitation services for individuals affected in the upper limbs can be indicated. For the specific case of workers with repetitive strain injuries, the results should be interpreted with special attention to the erratic items, and the use of DASH together with other instruments and measures may best quality to the clinical findings.Diante dos avanços na área da saúde e a conseqüente eliminação e controle de muitas doenças agudas, observou-se um aumento de doenças crônicas e/ou incapacitantes. Esta situação se tornou uma das maiores preocupações dos profissionais, usuários e gestores de serviços de saúde e levou a sistematização das práticas clínicas, de modo a facilitar a comunicação entre profissionais, usuários e instituições de saúde. O uso de classificações e instrumentos padronizados evita opiniões subjetivas e tendenciosas. Em 2001, a Organização Mundial de Saúde (OMS) aprovou a Classificação Internacional de Funcionalidade, Incapacidade e Saúde (CIF), com objetivo de proporcionar uma base científica para a compreensão e o estudo da saúde e de condições relacionadas, através de seus determinantes e efeitos. Em 2003, o Disabilities Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH), um instrumento usado para medir sintomas e função no membro superior, foi adaptado para o português. No Brasil os profissionais que atuam na área da reabilitação, especialmente os fisioterapeutas que prestam assistência a indivíduos portadores de patologias músculo esqueléticas nos membros superiores, se viram com um duplo desafio: implementar a CIF na clínica e na pesquisa e adotar medidas de estados de saúde compatíveis com o modelo proposto pela classificação. Diante disto, o presente estudo teve como objetivos: (1o) investigar se os itens do DASH podem ser comparados às categorias da CIF; e (2o) avaliar as propriedades psicométricas da versão brasileira do DASH através da metodologia Rasch, e conseqüentemente sua possível recomendação para uso clínico em trabalhadores com Lesões por Esforços Repetitivos/Distúrbios Osteomusculares Relacionados ao Trabalho (LER/DORT), assim como descrever o nível de comprometimento funcional destes trabalhadores codificando o resultado pela CIF. Os resultados da investigação são apresentados em dois artigos. O primeiro mostrou que o DASH se adequou ao modelo teórico da CIF e o segundo apontou grande quantidade de itens erráticos na versão em português do DASH, isto é, itens que permitem respostas muito variadas e alguns itens muito fáceis, nos quais as respostas são bastante previsíveis. Isto indica problemas relativos à validade de constructo do instrumento para esta amostra. Levando-se em conta as características da amostra e o alto nível de comprometimento funcional é possível que os itens erráticos apresentem comportamento diferente em outros grupos. Como o DASH se mostrou adequado ao modelo teórico da CIF, sua utilização em serviços de reabilitação de indivíduos com acometimento nos membros superiores pode ser indicada. Para os casos específicos de trabalhadores com LER/DORT os resultados devem ser interpretados com atenção especialmente quanto aos itens erráticos, e o uso do DASH associado a outros instrumentos e medidas pode garantir a melhor qualidade dos achados clínicos.

Texto completoResumen
My study asks the questions: What criteria do teachers take into consideration when they determine the placement of bilingual students with learning disabilities and do they feel competent to make that decision. Current research provides information the important need to focus on bilingual students with learning disabilities. It also provides information about teacher readiness to teach this subgroup and what is being done to help meet their needs. The researcher conducted interviews of two middle school boys and their bilingual and learning resource teachers. Participant teachers and students were observed in a three-month window and interviewed. Due to their difference in English proficiency their classroom placement varied through this year and which may affect their classroom placement in the future. My study answers my questions because we hear firsthand from seasoned teachers in the field and share how they feel about teaching bilingual students with learning disabilities. The question concerning their best classroom placement is also answered by examining and analyzing students' collected data of their academic histories. After various classroom observations, teacher and student interviews and collection of data, the study found that the two boys had similar learning disabilities yet their academic achievements were different. Both learning resource teachers explain that there is a language barrier between them and their bilingual students with learning disabilities. Whereas, the bilingual teacher finds it difficult to detect a learning disability in her students because she is unsure if the student's difficulty in reading stems from a lack of English proficiency or a masked learning disability. The most practical way to find the correct placement for a bilingual student with a learning disability is when a team of educational professionals meet and discuss the particular student's strengths and weaknesses using their field of expertise. Final thoughts are shared of what further research needs to be done and why it is important.

De i skrivande stund tillgängliga lösningarna jämförs sedan med resultaten i relaterad forskning och en undersökning som genomfördes för detta arbete. Målsättningen var att hitta vad som fungerade som en visuell representation av ljud, med undersökningssvaren som ger insikt i döva och hörselskadade individers perspektiv på lösningarna.Dessa resultat kan fungera som en referenspunkt för utvecklare som vill implementera en visuell representation av ljud eller liknande funktion i deras spel.Video Games have turned into a mainstream source of entertainment and have evolved alongside technological improvements. To the point of being able to bring the player immersive gaming experiences that rely heavily on their senses. However, the attention to the accessibility aspects of video games has been lagging behind.This thesis explores the available solutions that aim to help Deaf or Hard of Hearing (DHH) players, primarily in terms of situational awareness by substituting audio with a visual representation. The currently available solutions are then compared with the findings in related research and a survey that was conducted for this paper. The objective was to find what worked as a visual representation of audio, with the survey responses providing insight into DHH players perspective.These findings can serve as a reference point for developers who want to implement a visual substitute for audio or a similar feature intheir game.

Thesis (DPhil)--Stellenbosch University, 2012.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Disabled adolescents are vulnerable to HIV infection particularly in countries like South Africa which has one of the largest HIV epidemics in the world. Like able-bodied adolescents, adolescents with disabilities are at a critical stage of their psychosocial and sexual development. They may be at risk of sexual abuse as perpetrators may believe that they are incapable of defending themselves or reporting the crime to the authorities. Deaf or hard of hearing adolescents are vulnerable to HIV/AIDS due to similar risk factors to other disabled adolescents. They also face difficulties in communicating with hearing people and receiving information in sign language, and they share characteristics with minority ethnic groups, which make them hard to reach for HIV prevention campaigns. There is a paucity of research in South Africa investigating the role of schools for Deaf and hard of hearing adolescents in delivering appropriate HIV and sexuality education to their learners. This thesis is an exploratory study and investigates HIV prevention issues for Deaf or hard of hearing adolescents in South Africa. More specifically, I aim to determine the ways in which participants believe schools, health systems and other organizations contribute or fail to contribute to the HIV/AIDS prevention needs of Deaf and hard of hearing adolescents. The study includes qualitative interviews with employees of Deaf organizations, educators of Deaf and hard of hearing adolescents, parents of Deaf and hard of hearing adolescents and Deaf and hard of hearing adolescents themselves in relation to sexuality and HIV related issues. Results indicate that Deaf organizations have an interest in the HIV prevention needs of the Deaf community and in Deaf schools. However they have experienced obstacles in delivering HIV education to learners. These obstacles include communication barriers as well as the fact that religious environments in some of the schools may not always be experienced as conducive to HIV education. Although all educators of Deaf and hard of hearing adolescents interviewed in the previous phase of the study were aware that their learners are at risk of HIV/AIDS, some educators of Deaf and hard of hearing adolescents were constrained by the same issues of morality and religious conviction discussed in the first phase. Some participants had made efforts to produce appropriate HIV and sexuality materials for Deaf learners. Parents of Deaf and hard of hearing adolescents were affected by communication barriers with their children but seemed unaware of the religious ethos of many of the schools their children attended. The Deaf and hard of hearing adolescents knew they could be at risk of HIV/AIDS. Some displayed poor knowledge of HIV transmission. There are a number of issues to be addressed if schools for Deaf and hard of hearing learners are to provide adequate HIV/AIDS prevention information to their learners.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Gestremde adolessente is kwesbaar vir MIV-infeksie veral in lande soos Suid-Afrika wat een van die grootste MIV-epidemies ter wêreld het. Soos nie-gestremde adolessente is gestremde adolessente in 'n kritieke stadium van hul psigososiale en seksuele ontwikkeling. Oortreders van seksuele misbruik mag gestermde adolessente beskou as sagte teikens aangesien daar die persepsie is dat hulle minder in staat is om hulself te verdedig of minder geneig is om `n misdaad by die owerhede te rapporteer. Dowe of hardhorende adolessente is kwesbaar vir MIV / VIGS vir redes war soortgelyk is aan die van ander gestremde adolessente. Dowe of hardhorende adolessente vind dit problematies om met horende (nie-gestremde) mense te komminikeer, inligting in gebaretaal te ontvang, en deel eienskappe met etniese minderheidsgroepe wat dit moeilik maak om hulle deur middel van MIV voorkomingsveldtogte te bereik. Daar is 'n gebrek aan navorsing in Suid-Afrika oor die rol wat skole vir dowe en hardhorende adolessente speel in die lewering van geskikte MIV en seksualiteitsopvoeding. Hierdie proefskrif verken en ondersoek kwessies met betrekking tot MIV-voorkoming onder dowe en hardhorende adolessente in Suid-Afrika. Meer spesifiek was die doel van hierdie studie om vas te stel wat deelnemers se persepsies is oor die bydrae of gebrek aan bydrae van skole, gesondheids-en ander organisasies tot die behoeftes van dowe en hardhorende adolessente wanneer dit kom by die voorkoming van MIV/ VIGS. Gedurende die studie is kwalitatiewe onderhoude met die volgende deelnemers gevoer: die werknemers van organisasies vir dowes; die onderwysers van dowes, ouers van dowe en hardhorende adolessente. Die onderhoude het hoofsaaklik gehandel oor seksualiteit en MIV-verwante kwessies onder gehoor gestremde adolessente. Die studie het bevind dat organisasies vir dowes `n belangstelling toon in die behoeftes van dowe gemeenskappe en skole vir dowes wanneer dit kom by MIV-voorkomming. Hulle het dit egter met tye problematies gevind om leerders op te voed oor MIV weens verskeie hindernisse. Hierdie hindernisse sluit in kommunikasie-hindernisse sowel as die godsdienstige etos wat wat in sommige skole teenwoordig is en wat nie altyd bevorderlik is tot MIV-onderrig nie. Alhoewel al die opvoeders van dowe en hardhorende adolessente gedurende die vorige fase van die studie aangedui het dat hul wel bewus is van leerders se risiko vir MIV/VIGS word sommige van hulle beperk deur bogenoemde kwessies van moraliteit en godsdienstige oortuiging. Sommige deelnemers het daarop gedui dat hul pogings aangewend het om geskikte materiaal te produseer wat spreek tot MIV en seksualiteit onder dowe leerders. Ouers van dowe en hardhorende adolessente was bewus van en word beïnvloed deur kommunikasie-hindernisse, maar was nie bewus van die godsdienstige etos van die skole wat hul kinders bywoon nie. Dowe en hardhorende adolessente was bewus daarvan dat hulle die risiko loop om MIV / vigs op te doen, maar dit blyk dat sommige min kennis dra oor MIV-oordrag. Daar is 'n aantal kwessies wat aangespreek moet word voordat skole vir dowes en hardhorendes instaat sal wees om geskikte MIV/VIGS voorkomingsprogramme aanbied te bied wat voldoen aan die behoeftes van leerders.

Texto completoResumen
The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of Filial Therapy training in increasing teachers of deaf and hard of hearing preschool students': 1) empathic responsiveness with their students; 2) communication of acceptance to their students; 3) allowance of self-direction by their students. A second purpose was to determine the effectiveness of Filial Therapy training in reducing experimental group students': 1) overall behavior problems; 2) internalizing behaviors; and 3) externalizing behavior problems. Filial Therapy is a didactic/dynamic modality used by play therapists to train parents and teachers to be therapeutic agents with their children and students. Teachers are taught primary child-centered play therapy skills for use with their own students in weekly play sessions with their students. Teachers learn to create a special environment that enhances and strengthens the teacher-student emotional bond by means of which both teacher and child are assisted in personal growth and change. The experimental group (N=24) consisted of 12 teachers, who participated in 11 weekly Filial Therapy training sessions (22 total instructional hours) during the fall semester at the preschool of a center for communications disorders, and 12 students chosen by the teachers as their student of focus. Teachers and students met once a week during the training for 30 minute teacher student play sessions in a room specified for this purpose. The non-treatment comparison group received no training during the 11 weeks. Teacher participants completed two written instruments: the Child Behavior Checklist/Caregiver-Teacher Report Form and the Meadow-Kendall Social-Emotional Assessment Inventory for Deaf and Hearing Impaired Students. Teachers who received Filial Therapy training were videotaped during student teacher play sessions. The videotaped sessions were used for pretest and posttest evaluation for the Measurement of Empathy in Adult-Child Interaction. Analysis of covariance revealed the children in the experimental group significantly decreased overall behavior problems. Teachers in the experimental group increased communication of empathy with their students of focus, significantly increased their attitude of acceptance with their students, and significantly increased in their ability to allow the students appropriate self-direction. This study supports Filial Therapy as an effective method of training teachers of deaf and hard of hearing preschool children to be therapeutic agents of change with their students.

CAPES : CNPqPessoas com paralisia cerebral apresentam grande diversidade de alterações posturais, sendo mais características as consequentes da espasticidade. Objetivando a otimização do desempenho funcional, juntamente com outros objetivos terapêuticos pode ser prescrito o uso órteses. Neste contexto a manufatura aditiva pode se apresentar como uma alternativa à fabricação de produtos personalizados de Tecnologia Assistiva, tais como as órteses. Para este fim a digitalização 3D é uma etapa importante, considerando que a geometria da anatomia do usuário será a referência para o desenvolvimento do produto em ambiente CAD 3D para posterior fabricação. No entanto os equipamentos de digitalização 3D possuem custos elevados, sendo um dos fatores que dificultam a popularização desta solução. Deste modo este trabalho visa avaliar a utilização de sistemas de baixo custo para realizar a digitalização 3D, no contexto do desenvolvimento de órteses personalizadas para punho, mão e dedos a serem fabricadas por manufatura aditiva. Foi proposto um método estruturado em três fases sendo: definição das ferramentas e sistemas a serem avaliados, definição dos parâmetros para avaliação e dos protocolos de utilização dos sistemas digitalização 3D; avaliação dos sistemas de digitalização 3D de baixo custo a partir da digitalização de uma peça padrão; e avaliação dos sistemas de digitalização 3D de baixo custo aplicados ao contexto de órteses para punho, mão e dedos. Os sistemas selecionados para a avaliação foram o Kinect 360 utilizando o programa Skanect, o sistema Kinect One com o programa 3DScan e o sistema ReMake com uma câmera Canon T3i. Os protocolos para a utilização dos sistemas de digitalização 3D de baixo custo foram: protocolo 1, com marcações visuais apenas no ambiente de digitalização; protocolo 2, com aplicação de adesivos coloridos sobre o objeto; e o protocolo 3, com a aplicação de linhas desenhadas à mão formando um xadrez sobre o objeto. Foi desenvolvida e fabricada uma peça padrão, composta por três elementos (um cone, um cilindro e um cubo seccionado). Para a avaliação dimensional foram considerados os parâmetros altura do cone, diâmetro do cilindro e medidas paralelas aos eixos X, Y e Z aferidas pela distância entre as faces opostas do cubo. Também foi realizada a análise dos desvios utilizando o programa Geomagic e uma avaliação da qualidade onde se verificou visualmente a formação dos vértices e das arestas. Para a avaliação aplicada ao contexto do desenvolvimento de órteses, foi aplicado mesmo procedimento sobre um molde da geometria do punho, mão e dedos confeccionado em atadura gessada. As digitalizações geraram 27 malhas 3D da peça padrão e 9 malhas 3D do molde. As avaliações indicaram que os sistemas Kinect 360 e Kinect One não apresentaram variação significativa entre os diferentes protocolos. Já o sistema ReMake foi o mais sensível, sendo o protocolo 3 o que gerou malhas 3D com os melhores resultados dimensionais e de qualidade em relação a todos os sistemas, com valores variando entre 0,07 mm e 0,27 mm nas análises dos desvios realizadas sobre a peça padrão.
People with cerebral palsy could have wide range of postural changes, the most characteristic are resulting from spasticity. Custom orthosis use can be prescribed in this context aiming increase functional performance and other therapeutic goals. The additive manufacturing is an alternative to the custom assistive products fabrication, such as orthoses. In this context 3D scanning is an important step, considering that the user anatomy is a geometric reference to product development in 3D CAD for further fabrication. However, the 3D scanners have high costs, one of the factors that hinder the popularization of this solution. Thus, this study aims to evaluate the use of low cost systems to perform 3D scanning in the context of custom orthoses development for wrist, hand and fingers to be fabricated by additive manufacturing. A three-phases method was proposed as follows: definition of tools and systems to be evaluated, definition of parameters for assessment, and definition of protocols for using 3D scanning systems; evaluation of low-cost 3D scanning systems using a standard piece; and evaluation of low-cost 3D scanning systems applied to context of orthosis for wrist, hand and fingers. The selected systems for the evaluation were 360 Kinect using Skanect software, Kinect One system with 3DScan software and the ReMake system with a Canon T3i camera. The low-cost 3D scanning systems used protocols were: Protocol 1, with visual markings only on the scanning environment; Protocol 2, with colored stickers application on the object; and protocol 3, with the use of hand drawn lines forming a chess pattern on the object. A standard piece was developed and manufactured, composed of three elements (a cone, a cylinder and a sectioned cube). The cone height, cylinder diameter and parallel measures to axes X, Y and Z were considered as the dimensional evaluation parameters. Also, a Deviations Analysis was performed using Geomagic software and a visual-quality evaluation that observed the formation of vertices and edges. For the evaluation on orthoses development context, the same procedure was applied on a cast of the wrist, hand and fingers. This cast was made of plaster bandages. The procedure generated 27 standard piece 3D mesh and 9 cast 3D meshes. The evaluations indicated that Kinect 360 and Kinect One systems have no significant variation between the different protocols. The ReMake system was the most sensitive, and the protocol 3 generated 3D meshes with the best dimensional and quality results among all systems. The deviations analysis performed on the standard piece indicated errors ranging between 0.07 mm and 0.27 mm for the ReMake’s 3D meshes.

Texto completoResumen
Ett flertal studier har undersökt användandet av olika typer av efterfrågan om förtydligande i en referentiell kommunikationsuppgift. Bland annat har skillnader i kommunikationsstrategier mellan barn med cochleaimplantat och normalhörande barn påvisats. Syftet med föreliggande studie var att undersöka huruvida kommunikationsstrategier skiljer sig åt i en referentiell kommunikationsuppgift hos barn med lindrig till måttligutvecklingsstörning och en mentalt åldersmatchad kontrollgrupp. Vidare syfte var att undersöka hur barn med lindrig till måttlig utvecklingsstörning reagerar vid kommunikationssammanbrott, när personen inte har tillgång till en specifik referent. Studien har också undersökt vokabulär hos de båda grupperna och om detta har någon betydelse för vilka kommunikationsstrategier de väljer. I studien ingick två grupper. Den ena gruppen bestod av personer med utvecklingsstörning som har en kronologisk medelålder på 14:9 år, och kontrollgruppen bestod av barn utan utvecklingsstörning med en kronologisk medelålder på 7:8 år. Båda grupperna hade en mental medelålder på 8:6 år. Barnets kommunikativa strategier skattades av logopedstudenter i en referentiell kommunikationsuppgift och ordförrådsdelen i WISC-IV användes för att kunna jämföra ordförråd. Då idén till föreliggande studie föddes ur Ibertsson et al. studie från 2009 Deaf teenagers with cochlear implants in conversation with hearing peers har samma typer av efterfrågan om förtydligande använts som utgångspunkt i analys. Resultaten visade att personer med utvecklingsstörning kan skilja sig i användandet av olika typer av efterfrågningar från en mentalt åldersmatchad grupp. Vissa typer av efterfrågningar korrelerade signifikant med varandra i högre grad inom kontrollgruppen än inom målgruppen. Prestation på ordförrådstestet skiljde sig inte signifikant mellan grupperna. I jämförelse mellan medelpoäng på ordförrådstestet och typ av reaktion, som visar ordförrådets betydelse för hur personerna reagerar på den utbytta referenten, återfanns ett signifikant resultat i målgruppen.Several studies have investigated the use of different types of requests for clarification in a referential communication task. The purpose of this study was to examine whether communication strategies differs between children with developmental disabilities and mental age matched peers in a referential communication task, and how the children react to a communication breakdown. We tested vocabulary to see if vocabulary correlates with different types of requests for clarification. Our study included two groups. One group consisted of people with development disabilities with chronological mean age of 14:9 years. The other group consisted of mental age matched children with no development disabilities. The mental mean age of both groups was 8:6 years. The children’s communicative strategies were assessed in a referential communication task. The vocabulary was examined with the vocabulary subtest of WISC-IV. Our results indicate that children with mental disabilities differ from mental age matched peers in the use of types of requests for clarification in this study. Different types of requests correlates with each other in both groups. This indicates that the persons in the groups use different strategies in solving the task. The vocabulary was not different between the groups.

For this phenomenological study, thirteen participants from two private universities, located in the western region of the United States shared their lived experiences of being a college student who does not request accommodations. The author used recursive analysis to analyze qualitative data from semistructured interviews. Initial codes were combined to create interconnected families of codes. A second level of analysis resulted in seven spaces in which participants described their lived experiences. Findings suggest participants experience various tensions, ranging from incompatible options to competing perspectives, as they negotiate their identify and environment. including the principle of opportunity cost. Recommendations for college administrators and faculty, including Universal Design in higher education are included.

Texto completoResumen
Studien belyser lärar - elevrelationer och har ett relationellt perspektiv. Syftet med studien är att belysa hur lärare och elever på särskolan beskriver lärar-elevrelationer samt vilka likheter och skillnader det finns i beskrivningarna. Den teoretiska utgångspunkten för studien är Aspelins (2018) modell om relationskompetens, där aspekterna kommunikativ kompetens, differentieringskompetens, socio- emotionell kompetens, ett socialt tillvägagångssätt samt ett relationellt tillvägagångssätt, används i den teoretiska tolkningen. Studien är kvalitativ och utgörs av intervjuer med fyra lärare samt sju gymnasieelever i särskolan. I resultatet framkommer att lärarna ser sig ansvariga för relationsskapandet men även eleverna ser ett ansvar i att skapa en bra relation till sina lärare. Elevernas resultat visar att relationskompetensens olika delar kan ses i en lärare som är tydlig, pratar långsamt och visar välvilja med kroppsspråket. Eleverna ser positivt på att läraren är deras vän. Relationskompetensen ses i en lärare som kan balansera mellan humor och allvar i undervisningen, men också i en lärare som väljer bort utskällning för att istället använda verbala eller andra anpassningar. Lärarintervjuerna visar även på att anpassningar i lärmiljön gynnar lärar- elevrelationen. Vidare ses relationskompetensen i en lärare som använder sitt kroppsspråk och sitt röstläge såväl som ett lågaffektivt bemötande gentemot eleven. Lärarna betonar vikten av ett genuint intresse för eleven, de vill skapa trygghet och inge självförtroende och se varje individ utan att “klumpa ihop dem” utefter deras diagnoser. I lärarintervjuerna framkommer det att det är en utmaning utifrån arbetet med relationer att sätta gränser mellan jobb och privatliv. Grundlärarutbildningen har i liten utsträckning gett lärarna förberedelse i relationsskapande.The purpose of this study is to shed light on how teachers and students in Compulsory and Upper secondary school for pupils with intellectual disabilities, describe their relationships with each other as well as identifying similarities and differences between these descriptions. The theoretical framework for this study is Aspelin's (2018) model of relational competence. Specifically, the aspects of communicative competence, differentiation competence, socio-emotional competence, a social and a relational approach are used in the analysis process. The study is qualitative and consists of interviews with 4 teachers and 7 pupils in an Upper secondary national program for pupils with intellectual disabilities. The results show that the teachers consider themselves responsible for creating relationships, and the students also take responsibility for creating a good relationship with their teachers. The students' results show that the different parts of the relational competence can be seen in a teacher who speaks clearly, slowly and shows goodwill with their body language. The students are positive towards the teacher being a friend. Relational competence is seen in a teacher who can balance between humor and seriousness in their teaching, and in a teacher, who chooses not to raise their voice to reprimand but instead chooses to use verbal communication or other adaptations. The teacher interviews show that adaptations in the learning environment benefit the teacher-student relationship. Furthermore, the relational competence is seen in a teacher who uses their body language and voice position as well as a low arousal approach towards the student. The teachers emphasize the importance of a genuine interest in the student, they want to create a feeling of safety towards the student and instill self-confidence within them and see every individual without "lumping them together" according to their diagnoses. The teachers claim that the establishing of positive relationships also poses a challenge in terms of setting boundaries between their professional and private lives. Finally, the teacher education programs had only provided relational competence training to a small extent.

This study looks into the knowledge and practice of professors at the Postgraduate Program of Science and Mathematics Teaching (PPGECIMA) of the Federal University of Sergipe (UFS) concerning the inclusion of people with disabilities in higher education. We examine professors‟ conceptions about inclusive education as seen from the perspective of accessibility and the skill gaps of hard science professors. Also, we have tried to find out the difficulties they experience, and investigated if the need for inclusive classroom practice and lesson-planning with a focus on students with disabilities has translated into adjustments in educational approach. As our method, we have used a qualitative case study and collected data through interviews and document analysis. The sources for our study include Mazotta (1996); Stainback & Stainback (2008); Bueno (2002); Mantoan (1997); Fávero (2002); Fernandes (2014); Santana (2010) et al. We have found that professors at PPGECIMA encounter difficulties working with students with disabilities ranging from poor interdepartmental communication to difficulties dealing with the specific requirements of people with disabilities. Our findings have revealed a need for training and counselling that focus on the specific inclusion strategies. Thus, we have concluded that professors at PPGECIMA have a positive attitude to inclusion but only a very small number of participants had an understanding of how inclusion of students with special needs in higher education works, to the extent that the presence of students with disabilities in the classroom has not led to adjustments in teaching practice. The main difficulties pointed out by our subjects include poor background information about students, changing instruction pace, and lack of qualification to deal with the needs of hard science students with disabilities in higher education. Finally, our study showed that the road to inclusion still stretches a long way ahead.A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo compreender os saberes e práticas dos professores do Programa de Pós Graduação em Ensino de Ciências e Matemática (PPGECIMA) da Universidade Federal de Sergipe sobre a inclusão da pessoa com deficiência no ensino superior. Para tanto, abordou-se nesse estudo as concepções dos professores no que diz respeito à inclusão através do olhar a respeito da acessibilidade e dos problemas da formação do professor na área de exatas. Buscou-se saber quais foram as dificuldades enfrentadas e se houve mudança na prática pedagógica pela necessidade de incluir alunos com deficiência durante as aulas e no planejamento. Para tanto, utilizou-se o estudo de caso com uma abordagem qualitativa, e como instrumento para coleta de dados, foram utilizados a entrevista e as análises documentais. Como aporte teórico, tomamos os trabalhos de Mazotta (1996); Stainback & Stainback (2008); Bueno (2002); Mantoan (1997); Fávero (2002); Fernandes (2014); Santana (2010), dentre outros. Constatou-se que os professores do PPGECIMA, apresentam dificuldades para trabalhar com alunos com deficiência, uma vez que, nota-se desde a falha na comunicação entre os setores à dificuldade no atendimento especializado para as pessoas com deficiência. Com isso, esse trabalho apresenta a partir das análises, a necessidade de alguns professores em ter acesso a cursos e palestras que orientem o trabalho específico de inclusão. Desse modo, conclui-se que os professores do PPGECIMA percebem a inclusão de modo positivo; no entanto, apenas uma quantidade mínima dos entrevistados tinham conhecimentos sobre a inclusão do aluno com deficiência no ensino superior, de forma que se verificou que a presença do aluno com deficiência na sala de aula não alterou significativamente a prática docente. As principais dificuldades apontadas foram a falta de informação prévia sobre o aluno, as mudanças no ritmo da aula e o despreparo do professor da área exatas para lidar com as demandas do aluno com deficiência no ensino superior. Por fim, percebe-se que para atingir a inclusão ainda é necessário percorrer um longo caminho.

Functional Analysis and Treatment of Hand-Mouthing in Students with Multiple-Disabilities Abstract This study evaluated the efficacy of functional analysis and treatment of hand-mouthing in students with multiple-disabilities. All of the four participants were severely in multiple-disabilities, exhibited in hand-mouthing. A single-subject research with multielement design was used in the study. The independent of the study was functional-based intervention, and the dependent variable was hand-mouthing. Results of the current study were summarized as follows: 1.For the determinant of hand-mouthing, student A (a 9yrs-8mth. boy) and student C (a 7yrs-11mth. girl) were suggested as sensory reinforcement, student D (a 16yrs-5mth. girl) was suggested as social positive reinforcement, and student B (a 14yrs-4mth. boy) was suggested as the combination of sensory and social negative reinforcement. 2.Student D showing a 75%-89% of hand-mouthing and 1%-14% of communication ability. After the intervention of FCT, the hand-mouthing reduce to 4%-13% and having a raise up of 55%-70% in communication ability. 3.The specific function of hand-mouthing in student A was maintained by tactile stimulation, and student C was maintained by tactile and visual stimulation, both of the sources of self-stimulation were hand. Student A showing 60% of hand-mouthing and 2% of communication ability before intervention. However, a result of 2% in hand-mouthing and 68% in communication ability were found after FCT. For student C, 83% of hand-mouthing and 1% of communication ability before intervention. After FCT, hand-mouthing reduced to 10% and communication ability raised up to 52%. 4.Student B exhibited hand-mouthing from 36%-2% and communication ability from 4%-86% in his demand situation.

Robotics is increasingly involving many aspects of daily life and robotic-based assistance to physically impaired people is considered one of the most promising application of this largely investigated technology.
However, as of today, hand exoskeletons design can still be considered a hurdle task and, even in modern robotics, providing assistance to those patients who have lost or injured their hand skills, assuring them an independent and healthy life through the design of exoskeleton technologies is, surely, one of the most challenging goal.
In this framework, the research activity carried out during the PhD period concentrated on the development of wearable devices, with special focus given to hand exoskeletons which support patients suffering from hand disabilities during the Activities of Daily Living (ADLs).
The studied devices have been designed to be also used during rehabilitative sessions in specific tasks trying to restore the dexterity of the user's hands.
Starting from current solutions identified within the state of the art, the work was conducted heading to the development of portable, wearable and highly customizable devices.
The last aspect will be fully endorsed by the definition of patient-centered design strategies leading to tailor-made devices specifically developed on the users' needs.
Two hand exoskeletons solutions will be presented throughout the thesis.
The first consists of a compact and lightweight solution which exploits a novel 1-DOF kinematic chain of the finger mechanism to accurately reproduce the physiological finger trajectory.
The applicability of topology optimization to the wearable technologies field has then been deeply investigated in the design of the second exoskeleton, which has yielded a high-performance aluminum-alloy solution.
The performance of the resulting systems was evaluated by means of simulations and tested during experimental validation campaigns by producing several prototypes which allowed to assess their effectiveness in a real-use scenario; the obtained results were satisfying, indicating that the derived solutions may constitute a valid alternative to existing hand exoskeletons so far studied in the rehabilitation and assistance fields.

In this cross-sectional study, the sensibility, reliability, and validity of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire were assessed in patients who underwent neck dissection for head and neck cancer. A sensibility questionnaire was used to assess face and content validity. Test-retest reliability was tested by re-mailing the questionnaire; validity, by evaluating differences in scores between patients undergoing different types of neck dissections and by correlating DASH scores with Neck Dissection Impairment Index (NDII) scores.
The DASH was considered sensible by both patients and surgeons. The DASH was reliable with an intraclass coefficient of 0.91. The DASH showed differences between patients who underwent accessory nerve-sacrifice and nerve-sparing neck dissection. DASH scores strongly correlated with NDII scores. Thus, the DASH is a sensible, reliable, and valid instrument for assessing shoulder impairments and activity limitations following neck dissection.

The latest research adopted software technology to redesign the mouse driver, and turned a mouse into a useful pointing assistive device for people with multiple disabilities who cannot easily or possibly use a standard mouse, to improve their pointing performance through a new operation method, Extended Dynamic Pointing Assistive Program (EDPAP), where the user can swing his hand on the desktop to quickly move the cursor to a target. However, EDPAP has lower pointing efficiency due to the cursor jumping in sequence amongst the targets once there are many targets on the screen. This study evaluated whether two people with multiple disabilities would be able to improve their pointing performance through a new target acquisition technique based on EDPAP, Adaptive Dynamic Pointing Assistive Program (ADPAP), where the cursor movement path is selected adaptively by users’ hand swing direction, as opposed to being sequential. This study used multiple probe design across participants. Participants typically received two 30-minute ADPAP training sessions per week, for a period of about 6–7 weeks. Initially, both participants had their baseline sessions. Then intervention started with the first participant. When his performance was consolidated, new baseline and intervention occurred with the second participant. Finally, both participants were exposed to the maintenance phase, in which their pointing performance improved significantly. Data indicated that both participants improved their pointing efficiency with the use of ADPAP and remained highly successful through the maintenance phase. Results of this study showed that, with the assistance of ADPAP, participants can acquire targets quickly, easily, and accurately, thus helping the disabled to solve their pointing problems.

The transition from high school to college is difficult for students and they need to learn to navigate the transition in order to be successful and stay in school. This process is especially challenging for many students with disabilities who may face additional difficulties due to their disability. The purpose of this study was to gain a better understanding of how having a faculty mentorship influences the collegiate experience of students with disabilities.
This study was grounded in qualitative, hermeneutic phenomenology methodology. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews with students with disabilities who had a faculty mentor during their first semester of college. Data analysis was conducted based on thematic analysis (Van Manen, 1990), and predominant themes were discovered.
The researcher concluded faculty mentorship does affect the collegiate experience of students with disabilities in considerable ways. Students met significant challenges adjusting to the collegiate life. Faculty mentorship assisted some of these students during their transition from high school to college. Based on these themes, specific conclusions were drawn regarding students with disabilities transition and the postsecondary accommodation process.
Suggestions were presented for university administrators, faculty, and staff, all of which work with students with disabilities.Department of Educational Leadership

This study explored the school adiustment-related needs of two first grade students who recepted one year early intervention, and examined the effectiveness of the early intervention experience on their school adjustment. The naturalistic inquiry was used to gain the diverse perspectives and opinions both from parents, classroom teachers and physical therapists in primary school, and from the director, social workers, and special educators in the early intervention program of participants A and B separately. The following school adjustment-related skills of two participants were identified by in depth interviews and in class observations: communication, self-care, self-regulation, self-advocacy, community use, social skills, functional academics, adapt-change , self-determination, learning attitude, following directions, emotional management and sensorimotor skills for A . And expressive skills, motivation for communicating, self-eating, sensorimotor skills, health and safety, self-regulation, social skills, functional academics, attention and persistence, fine motor and following directions for B. The school adjustment-related support needs of A and B were also recognized , including providing systematical and on-going instruction and training , opportunities for practicing learned skills in real situations, emotional support , and facilitating preacademic skills . In addition , A’s individual needs were addressed on peer tutoring , instruction method modification , self-confidence facilitation , vocabulary improvement ,play time management ,orientation on strange situation , adequate prompts on instruction and self-determination . The supports almost are from her mother, and seldom are from school teachers or special education teachers. B had special needs on assistive technology, physical therapy, medical care, motivating spontaneous responses and parents’ collaboration . But his needs are seldomly to be supported. Even his needs have been supported, the performences are still under-achievement. B’s parents and teachers are key persons to provide supports to him. Researcher and physical therapists also play a role to satistify his needs in school adjustment . The principal of the primary school and the director of early intervention program provide supports for assistive technology needs. A’s mother considered the assistances from early intervention are limited, because A had recept various trainings before she entered the early intervention program. B’s parents regarded early intervention program is helpful for B in the following areas: sensorimotor, eating, communication, self-assertive in learing, and parental education. The suggestions for the primary school, early intervention program and transition policy are also discussed in this study.
