Direct linkDuncan, Amanda; Shepley, Collin – Journal of Early Intervention, 2023

Waschl, Nicolette; Xie, Huichao; Chen, Mo; Poon, Kenneth K. – Infants and Young Children, 2019
Family quality of life (FQoL) constitutes an important aspect of early intervention. However, the culture bound nature of this construct necessitates validation of FQoL measures when being used in a culture different from the one in which they were developed. This study sought to understand the psychometric properties and construct validity of the…

In Africa, inclusive education has been demonstrated at the primary level and has been improving at the secondary level. However, inclusion is yet to be fully realized in employment and entrepreneurship. The few persons with special needs who have experienced inclusion have demonstrated success, yet some communities are not ready to give them…

Parents from individualist cultures (those focused on autonomy of individuals; that is, Australian) may view their autistic children differently compared to parents from collectivist cultures (where community needs are valued over an individual's, that is, South-East Asian cultures). As most research on autism and parenting has been undertaken in…
