The Interconnectedness of Special Education Transition Planning and Disaster Preparedness
Presenter(s)
Marcia Montague, Ph.D., Clinical Assistant Professor, Center on Disability and Development, UCEDDDisasters have a significant impact on individuals with disabilities. Individual preparedness measures can minimize this impact. To examine the extent to which special education transition planning includes disaster preparedness practices, we completed a systematic literature review. In this session, we highlight these findings and address those areas of transition planning that overlap with disaster preparedness. Implications for practice in serving students with disabilities transitioning to adulthood will be shared.

Use and Compliance of a Computer-Assistant-Learning Program(Lexia) in Children with Learning Disabilities in Reading in an Ethnically Diverse Community.
Presenter(s)
Maria Valicenti-McDermott, MD MS, Associate Professor Pediatrics, Rose F. Kennedy Center, UCEDD/LENDIndividuals with learning disabilities in reading(LDR) can improve their reading abilities, but often face difficulties accessing appropriate treatment. We examined the use of Computer-Assisted- Learning(Lexia) in children with LDR who attend an urban, ethnically diverse, multidisciplinary University-affiliated UCEDD/LEND center. More than half of the sample (57%) were compliant, with significant improvement in academics, in particular younger children. Computer-Assisted-Learning may represent a positive intervention for youth with LDR

Zhihui Yi, M.S., Graduate Student, Institute on Disability & Human Development, UCEDD/LENDApplied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is one of the most heavily supported evidence-based treatments for autistic individuals. However, few studies have evaluated whether ABA-based comprehensive treatment models (CTMs) can be successfully embedded within special education settings. The current study evaluated the outcome of a one-year naturalistic implementation of an ABA-based CTM. The feasibility of such integration and the impact of treatment dosage is discussed.
