Speech-to-text assistive technology for the written expression of students with traumatic brain injuries: A single case experimental study.

Traumatic brain injury in childhood (TBI) is a chronic health condition. As decreased memory, language, and rapid psychomotor impairments are known to accompany pediatric TBI (Babikian et al., 2011), students who have experienced a moderate-to-severe TBI are at particular risk for academic deficits, including writing difficulties.

Examining the effectiveness of a culturally adapted social-emotional intervention for African American males in an urban setting.

The purpose of the present study was to assess the efficacy of a culturally adapted version of the Strong Start intervention program on the social-emotional outcomes of African American male students. Externalizing behavior problems of children, specifically African American males, are of great concern for schools. Punitive discipline polices such as expulsion and suspension have proved to be ineffective and harmful.
