Little information regarding the psychometric properties of the most commonly used autism identification measures used in school settings with traditionally racially and ethnically minoritized (REM) groups is available. This analysis of autism identification measures is particularly important due to the demographic increase in the United States…

Research on education for youth served in the juvenile justice (JJ) system is limited. Yet in order to ensure equity for these students, JJ teacher knowledge and use of evidence-based practices (EBPs) must be understood. This study aimed to understand JJ teacher knowledge and use of EBPs within JJ classrooms. Based on 157 JJ teachers' responses to…

AI chatbots shook the world not long ago with their potential to revolutionize education systems in a myriad of ways. AI chatbots can provide immediate support by answering questions, offering explanations, and providing additional resources. Chatbots can also act as virtual teaching assistants, supporting educators through various means. In this…
