Learning Disabilities

187
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.

Health Literacy

4.1K
Health literacy is an individual's or a community's capacity to comprehend, receive, read, and use relevant healthcare information and services. The World Health Organization (WHO, 2018) defines health literacy as the cognitive and social skills that determine the ability of individuals to gain access to, understand, and use information in ways that promote and maintain good health. As a result, the WHO helps individuals manage long-term health concerns, participate in preventative...

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...

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...

Area of Science:

  • Education
  • Engineering
  • Disability Studies

Background:

  • The STEMBach program integrates Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education with research projects for secondary students.
  • Assistive Technology (AT) plays a crucial role in enhancing the quality of life for individuals with disabilities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To connect the creation of 3D-printed AT for people with disabilities with the educational training of secondary school students.
  • To foster student involvement in research, innovation, and the development of practical solutions.
  • To assess the effectiveness and impact of custom-designed AT on users' lives.

Main Methods:

  • A service-learning, Learning-by-doing methodology was employed, involving students from eight high schools.
  • Students utilized 3D printing and software (Tinkercad, Cura) to design and fabricate AT for ten individuals with disabilities from four NGOs.
  • Outcome measurement instruments were used to validate the effectiveness of the developed AT.

Main Results:

  • Successful design and creation of 3D-printed AT tailored to the needs of individuals with disabilities.
  • Validation of AT effectiveness through outcome measurement instruments.
  • Identification of new needs and potential areas for future research in AT.

Conclusions:

  • The project successfully integrated STEM education with assistive technology development through student engagement.
  • The initiative demonstrated the potential of 3D printing for creating personalized AT solutions.
  • This collaborative approach not only benefited individuals with disabilities but also provided valuable research and innovation experience for students.
