Umesawa, Yumi; Matsushima, Kanae; Atsumi, Takeshi; Kato, Toshihiro; Fukatsu, Reiko; Wada, Makoto; Ide, Masakazu – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Several motor disabilities accompanied with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are widely known despite limited reports of underlying neural mechanisms. Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) levels in the motor-related cortical areas modulate several motor performances in healthy participants. We hypothesized that abnormal GABA concentrations in the primary…

The 16p11.2 duplication (BP4-BP5) is associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), although significant heterogeneity exists. Quantitative ASD, behavioral and neuropsychological measures and DSM-IV diagnoses in child and adult carriers were compared with familial non-carrier controls, and to published results from deletion carriers. The 16p11.2…

Colombo-Dougovito, Andrew Mark – Physical Educator, 2017
Background: Gross motor movement is a vital part of the growing process and ultimately plays a role in a person's ability to lead a physically active life. Researchers have analyzed the different ways in which individuals develop skills. At the heart of that discussion has been gender. Most recently, researchers have focused on the differences…

Hennessey, Stephen – International Journal of Disability, Development and Education, 2011
This article describes a method for identifying test items as disability neutral for children with vision and motor disabilities. Graduate students rated 130 items of the Preschool Language Scale and obtained inter-rater correlation coefficients of 0.58 for ratings of items as disability neutral for children with vision disability, and 0.77 for…

Schluchter, Thierry; Nagel, Siegfried; Valkanover, Stefan; Eckhart, Michael – Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 2023
Background: Reciprocal relationships exist between motor competencies, physical activity and self-concept. Aims: Using a structural equation model, this study examined whether these relationships also appear in children with intellectual disabilities, how they can be validly measured, and if there are differences between children with and without…
