Interventions to target transitions have been used to support children and young people as they transition between school settings, but there is limited synthesis of…

This study synthesized 14 published and unpublished group design and single-case design studies on bullying interventions for individuals with disabilities. The specific objectives were to examine the general characteristics and design qualities of the studies, quantify the magnitude of the intervention effects, and identify potential moderating…

Girls between the ages of 9 and 10 begin to experience physical, physiological, and hormonal changes that may lead to internal stress.
