Learning fractions is an important mathematical skill. We use fractions in professions such as life sciences and auto-mechanics, as well as everyday life for quantifying parts of a whole. However, many elementary and middle school-aged children have difficulty understanding and manipulating fractions. In this blog post, we discuss why fractions are difficult to learn for many children, why children with math disabilities struggle to learn fractions in comparison to peers, and what interventions can be done to help children be able to grasp and manipulate fraction quantities.
ADHD impacts people throughout their lifespan. For children, ADHD can cause a child to have difficulty focusing during class, keeping track of assignments and their due dates, blurt out responses to questions before they have been completed, and talk excessively. ADHD can also impact children’s peer relationships. Children diagnosed with ADHD may engage in behaviors such as complaining, not following rules for activities, and not paying attention to peers in social settings. Despite pharmaceutical, behavioral, or combined therapeutic interventions, researchers have found that children with ADHD continue to struggle with peer relationships despite reported improvement of ADHD symptoms (Hoza, Gerdes, et al., 2005). In this blog post, we discuss 3 ways ADHD impacts friendships in children.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is more than just a behavior problem. Research has unveiled that genetic, environmental, and neuropsychological factors impact behaviors associated with the disorder. Here are the 5 most important things to know about ADHD.
Temple Grandin was diagnosed with autism as a child. In this Ted Talk, she explains how her brain works. Her visual processing helps her solve problems that a neurotypical brain cannot. She explains why we need different types of thinkers and how to encourage them. Understanding how different types of brains work is critical to better serve patients who may have gifts of their own.
At the age of 25, Jac den Houting was diagnosed with autism. While many parents of children worry when their child is diagnosed with autism, Jac describes it as the best thing to ever happen to her. In this talk, Jac discusses how the concepts of neurodiversity, the social model of disability, and the double empathy problem connect with her personal experience. As an activist, Jac wants to challenge and help people reshape the way they think about autism. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
For years, caregivers and loved ones of someone with autism have been searching for an understanding as to why. Why does their child or loved why, function the way they do.
