Abstract:

An increasing body of research has sought to determine the impact of Disorders of Sex Development (DSD) on the family of the affected child. Little is currently understood about the support needs of the family and how well these needs are met. With a focus on mothers as primary caregivers, Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis was used to analyse semi-structured interviews with eight mothers of children with DSD about their experiences of support. Four master themes emerged which encapsulated the stages in their child’s development when mothers most needed support, the importance of developin

With an estimated 1.8 million children born in the US with a developmental disability in the past decade and a 43% increase in the Latino population in the same time period, there are more Latino parents who have children born with a developmental disability than ever before. Due to factors such as language barriers and legal status, Latino parents of children with developmental disabilities tend to experience higher needs. This study explored the challenges and needs Latino parents faced when caring for a child with special needs. The design of the study was qualitative. Participants were a c

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), the most commonly diagnosed childhood neurobehavioral disorder, is increasing annually at about 5% per year. ADHD has been diagnosed in approximately 6.4 billion children in the U.S., and it is estimated that 66% of those afflicted have 1 or more comorbid conditions. Children with ADHD are often from socioeconomically challenged households. What is unclear from the literature is the relationship between socioeconomic status (SES), defined as education, employment, and income and the reporting of comorbidities with ADHD.

Abstract:

Studies on split-brain cases have helped elucidate a crucial role of the corpus callosum (CC), that is information transfer between the two cerebral hemispheres (Gazzaniga, 2000). Comparative psychology studies suggested that CC plays a role in the acquisition of hemispheric specialisation. The relation between information integration in higher cognitive functions and specialisation development has to be unravelled yet. The contribution of the corpus callosum (CC) to the development of cognitive functions and the concurrent hemispheric specialisation has been relatively neglected until recent

While the relevance of these has been discussed, to date, there has been limited empirical investigation in diabetes of their impact on adolescents’ management and adjustment to type
