Health and Health Service Use of Youth and Young Adults with Intellectual an…

AbstractIn this paper, we explore the health and health ser-vice use of youth and young adults with intellectual and de-velopmental disabilities (IDD), with a focus on two specific subgroups: youth and young adults with Down syndrome and autism spectrum disorders. Young people with IDD are more likely to develop health problems (e.g., chronic disease and mental illness) than their peers withou…

BShall We Play a Game?^: Improving Reading Through Action Video Games in Dev…

Abstract Impaired linguistic-phonological processing is the most accepted explanation of developmental dyslex-ia (DD). However, growing literature shows that DD is the result of the combination of several neurocognitive causes. Visual attention and magnocellular-dorsal (MD) pathway deficits are now considered causes of DD. Interestingly, a large portion of literature showed that action video g…

Brain Imaging Increases Our Understanding of Developmental Coordination Disor…

AbstractDevelopmental coordination disorder (DCD) is a neuromotor disorder of unknown etiology characterized by poor motor skills that significantly interferes with a child’s ability to perform everyday activities and affects their psycho-social well-being. Little is known about the neural mecha-nisms underlying motor impairment, making it difficult to understand why children with DCD struggl…

Executive Difficulties in Developmental Coordination Disorder: Methodological…

AbstractMotor skills and cognition have often been studied separately, but there is increasing understanding of the close relationship between these abilities over development. Motor coordination difficulties are central to the diagnosis of devel-opmental coordination disorder (DCD), and recent evidence suggests that certain cognitive processes, known as‘executive functions’, may be affecte…

Is There a“Movement Thermometer”for Developmental Coordination Disorder?

AbstractThe defining feature of Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is a significant motor difficulty that has an impact on everyday life movement tasks. The notion of a‘movement thermometer’suggests that not only can the extent and severity of the motor impairment be accu-rately measured but also that its impact on daily activities can be gauged. Recent European guidelines on the ass…

Perinatal Nutrition Optimizing Infant Health and Development

Nutritional recommendations during pregnancy are often predicated upon maternal preconceptional nutritional status; thus, attention to preconceptional risk factors may reduce the burden of ‘‘catching up’’ during pregnancy. However, improving nutritional status before pregnancy is problematic because a large proportion of pregnancies in the United States are not planned, and, even among …

Sleep in Individuals with an Intellectual or Developmental Disability: Recent…

AbstractSleep problems are a commonly reported complaint for individuals with an intellectual or developmental disability (DD), with prevalence generally exceeding that reported for individuals in the general population. Nevertheless, while there has been an increase in interest in sleep problems in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), sleep research in very young children and older ad…

Examining the Historical Developments and Contemporary Relevance of the Long…

AbstractFounded in 1939, the Cambridge-Somerville Youth Study represents the earliest longitudinal–experi-mental study in developmental crime prevention, combining the aims of understanding how the developmental process is related to future offending (i.e., longitudinal focus) as well as attempting to prevent offending through an experimental intervention during early adolescence. This articl…
