The programme, implemented by experienced teaching assistants (TAs), encompassed multiple aspects of reading, including phonics, sight word reading, reading fluency, vocabulary development and comprehension strategies, addressing the diverse needs of students with SpLD. Past observational studies have shown a disconnect between recommended reading practices and actual teaching approaches, often leading to a neglect of crucial skills like vocabulary, reading fluency and reading comprehension instruction for this student population. The current study aimed to bridge this research‐to‐practice gap, involving educators in programme development to ensure its effectiveness and practicality. Findings from interviews with five TAs indicate a strong need for comprehensive programmes that integrate various reading skills. The open educational reading programme received positive feedback from TAs, highlighting its role in engaging students and supporting active participation. This research underscores the significance of translating scientific insights into practical, transformative educational resources, emphasising the critical role of public engagement in advancing reading education. Additionally, this study emphasises the imperative of developing educator‐oriented programmes that are research‐based and easily accessible, thereby enhancing the practical application of scientific knowledge.","PeriodicalId":46054,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Special Education","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142213529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main goal of this study was to adapt and validate the Societal Attitudes Towards Autism scale (SATA) for the Portuguese population. Additionally, we intended to examine possible factors that may influence current attitudes towards ASD. Participants were 377 adults from the general Portuguese population, with an average age of 38.55 years. The sample was collected online using self-reported questionnaires. Starting from the original factorial structure, four SATA models were tested. The final model showed adequate fit. This unifactorial model comprised 12 items, with two correlated error pairs. The internal consistency of the total scale was acceptable (α = 0.79), and the convergent validity was confirmed by significant correlations between the SATA and compassion, and empathy. Findings suggested temporal stability was adequate. Women aged 31 to 45 years, with more knowledge of and contact with ASD, and with an autistic family member, showed more positive attitudes towards ASD. The SATA seems to be a valid and reliable scale to measure the attitudes of the Portuguese population towards ASD.","PeriodicalId":46054,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Special Education","volume":"51 3","pages":"369-381"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142158651","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

No statistically significant differences were found in the prevalence and type of psychosomatic symptoms between students without SpLDs (n = 366) and those with SpLDs (N = 93). The most common psychosomatic symptoms reported by both groups under stress were abdominal pain (61%; N = 459), extreme fatigue (60%; N = 459), tremor (56%; N = 459) and headache (53%; N = 459), with the frequency of occurrence ranging from sometimes to very often. There were no differences observed in the use of negative and positive coping strategies during stressful situations, except for alcohol use, which was more prevalent among students without SpLDs (p = 0.024). Correlations were found between anxiety, withdrawal and crying, and the six most frequent psychosomatic symptoms. Furthermore, students with SpLDs more frequently reported attempting to eliminate the cause of the problem (80%; N = 93) and searching for different solutions (80%; N = 93). Therefore, the study's findings suggest that SpLDs do not present a higher risk for increased psychosomatic symptoms or a preference for negative coping strategies.","PeriodicalId":46054,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Special Education","volume":"51 3","pages":"382-394"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1467-8578.12545","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142158607","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this systematic review is to examine the perceptions of postsecondary students with disabilities, solely within the USA, regarding factors they believe are influential in completing their postsecondary programme. Specifically, the study will focus on student-related factors as identified within the literature. A total of 19 studies were identified after meeting the inclusionary criteria for review. The results of the review identified the student's kindergarten (K) to grade 12 (K-12) transition services, the student's knowledge of their disability and related postsecondary disability services, the student's ability to self-advocate, the student's self-determination and the student's support system as student-related factors that influence their ability to successfully complete a postsecondary programme. According to the literature, these student-related factors are heavily impacted by the social interactions of their past and present instructors, peers, support systems, legislators and chosen postsecondary institution. Therefore, Critical Disability Theory was chosen as the lens for analysis to examine how students with disabilities, a marginalised group, continue to face obstacles within postsecondary environments. Postsecondary students with disabilities are more apt to be successful in completing their programme if the identified student factors are present. It is important for K-12 support systems, family support systems and postsecondary institution support systems to recognise that the identified factors are important for successful programme completion by students with disabilities. Implications for future research, policy and practice are discussed.","PeriodicalId":46054,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Special Education","volume":"51 3","pages":"347-357"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141881288","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
