Therapeutic tutoring allows students to practice skills learned in therapy (specifically related to executive functioning) in a controlled environment. It creates an opportunity to apply skills in a real-life setting that can also be utilized at home when IEPs and/or accommodations may not be as prominent. It encourages independence while also providing guidance and feedback.

Little is known about the potential for peer engagement to enhance learning among adults with neuorodevelopmental disorders. Facilitation of peer engagement might serve as a pathway to less reliance on instructor input.

In collecting discrete-trial data, binary hit/miss scoring and percent correct have often been used in place of more detailed ordinal scoring due to ease of collection. However, binary scoring systems are inherently more imprecise. The two approaches were directly compared in a study of an individual with ASD-3.

Given the common occurrence of anxiety in learning disorders, we assessed the functioning of frontal cortices during the resolution of cognitive conflict in children with reading disorder.

Given the role of the amygdala in anxiety, we assessed functional connectivity of amygdalar subregions in children with RD to identify functional and structural correlates of anxiety and reading impairment.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Concussion is one of the most common injuries sustained in the pediatric population and by far the largest subset of traumatic brain injury (TBI).

This study aimed to identify brain morphological correlates of internalizing problems in a nonclinical sample group of young children, accounting for externalizing problems.

We explored New York City primary care physicians’ experiences, attitudes, and beliefs about counseling and provision of LARC to adolescents.

This workshop aims to provide practitioners with information on neuropsychological assessment, including components of an evaluation, when to make a referral, and implications of results for treatment and follow-up interventions.

We assessed the effects of the VIQ>PIQ discrepancy on fMRI BOLD response during the resolution of cognitive conflict in 55 healthy children and adolescents dur- ing performance of a Simon Spatial Incompatibility task.

We evaluated the influence of prenatal exposure to widespread urban air pollutants on the development of self-regulation and social competence in a longitudinal prospective cohort of children born to nonsmoking minority women in New York City.

We examined the relationship between grit and motivation of children with and without RD to read.

Our dimensional approach to stud- ying anxiety in RD revealed how amygdalar connectivity underlies anxiety and reading impairment across a continuum from normal to abnormal.

This study explored New York City school-based health care providers’ experiences, attitudes, and beliefs about IUC counseling for adolescents. Eight school-based health care providers were interviewed with a semi-structured interview guide based on an implementation science theoretical framework. The interviews were analyzed according to a grounded theory approach.

We introduced one adult with level 3 autism spectrum disorder (ASD-3) to the use of text messaging to promote social communication skills and establish basic reciprocal social interactions.

The major goals of the present study were to (1) evaluate the appropriateness of existing Catatonia rating scales in describing RRMB on one adult with ASD (level 3) and (2) to use appropriate scale(s) to describe and operationalize RRMB in that adult.

We present a case study in which systemic tolerance training is used to prepare an adult with level 3 autism spectrum disorder (ASD-3) for participation is electrophysiological studies.

This article presents the results of a systemic review of the literature on pyschosocial interventions for adults with ASD-3.

This paper reviews the empirical evidence supporting the effectiveness of these interventions, many of which are currently used in clinical settings.
