The Impact of Sensory Integration Developmental Delays and How to Minimize Their Effects on Early Childhood Academic Development at the Kindergarten Level
Get PDFSensory processing difficulties are traditionally associated with children with autism; however, typically developing children are increasingly demonstrating symptoms of SPD. Research has shown that targeted sensory development, based on Ayres Sensory Integration Theory, demonstrates positive results for children with autism. This study sought to determine if comparable results can be shown with typically developing students to address the increase in SPD concerns in the classroom. Based on a literature review and targeted research on Ayres Sensory Integration Theory, an intervention consisting of nine sense-targeted exercises was implemented with 100 kindergarteners over 6 weeks. Results were examined with a mixed methods sequential design. Student reading progress and time off-task were assessed quantitatively at three periods to evaluate the impact of the intervention. Individual interviews were conducted with each of the four classroom teachers implementing the intervention to understand their intervention perspectives. Quantitative data analysis did not show a significant impact on academics or off-task behaviors. Examination of the fidelity of implementation identified a lack of consistent intervention implementations. Interviews with teachers highlighted aspects of the research design that impacted their ability to implement with fidelity. The study\u27s results do not support the hypothesis that targeted interventions will improve academic achievement or off-task behaviors. The lack of fidelity in implementation prevents a null hypothesis conclusion. On this basis, support for consistent intervention is recommended in future designs

Examining Help-Seeking Attitudes in College Student-Athletes: Mental Health Literacy and Stigma
Get PDFThis study aimed to investigate the predictors of the attitudes of student-athletes toward seeking psychological help. Results from data collected from a sample of 79 college students in a Midwestern university indicated that mental health literacy, self-stigma, and public stigma combined significantly predicted attitudes toward help-seeking. However, when self-stigma and public stigma were controlled, only mental health literacy significantly predicted attitudes toward help-seeking. These findings suggest that mental health literacy is a crucial factor in predicting help-seeking behaviors among college student-athletes, and that stigma can impact help-seeking behaviors. Additionally, mental health literacy was positively correlated with attitudes toward help-seeking, indicating that student-athletes with greater mental health knowledge may be more likely to seek professional help and understand available resources. The implications of the study are discussed
