Learning Disabilities

Learning Disabilities

Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.

Intellectual Disability

Intellectual Disability

Intellectual disability (ID) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by deficits in intellectual and adaptive functioning that manifest during the developmental period. This condition encompasses challenges in reasoning, memory, problem-solving, and learning, accompanied by impairments in everyday life skills, such as communication, self-care, and social interactions. Intellectual disability affects approximately 1% of the population in the United States, impacting an estimated 5...

Social Foundations of Self IV: Self in Digital Communication

Since the early 2000s, computer-mediated communication (CMC) has grown rapidly, playing a crucial role in self-development. A key distinction between CMC and real-life interactions is the lack of a physically present partner. This absence makes non-verbal cues such as facial expressions, body language, and paralinguistic signals unavailable in CMC platforms like email, instant messaging, or social media. The lack of these cues can create ambiguity and complicate how feedback is interpreted.The...

Bullying

Bullying

A modern form of aggression is bullying. As you learn in your study of child development, socializing and playing with other children is beneficial for children’s psychological development. However, as you may have experienced as a child, not all play behavior has positive outcomes. Some children are aggressive and want to play roughly. Other children are selfish and do not want to share toys. One form of negative social interactions among children that has become a national concern is...

Emerging Adulthood

Emerging Adulthood

Jeffrey Arnett's concept of emerging adulthood offers a framework to understand the unique developmental stage between adolescence and full-fledged adulthood, generally from ages 18 to 25. This period is marked by extensive exploration and shifts in identity, relationships, and career choices, a process known in psychology as role experimentation. Emerging adulthood reflects the evolving cultural expectations surrounding adulthood and the dynamic process of personal transformation during...

Area of Science:

Digital Inclusion
Disability Studies
Educational Technology

Background:

The United Nations emphasizes digital access as crucial for equality, democratic rights, and opportunities.
Investigating digital equality for young people with and without disabilities is essential for inclusive societies.

Purpose of the Study:

To compare digital access and engagement in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) between young people with and without disabilities.
To analyze disparities in ICT use within school and leisure settings.

Main Methods:

Cross-sectional study design with comparative group analysis.
Survey data collection from 389 young people (10-18 years) with disabilities and a reference group.
Focus on access to and engagement in ICT activities in educational and recreational contexts.

Main Results:

Young people with disabilities showed restricted participation in computer use for educational activities compared to their peers.
Conversely, young people with disabilities demonstrated higher engagement in various internet activities during leisure time.
Environmental factors at home and school appear to influence differing engagement levels.

Conclusions:

Schools must prioritize Information and Communication Technology (ICT) integration for students with disabilities.
Addressing environmental factors could enhance equitable digital participation for all young people.
