“…The methodological rigor of each study was evaluated using one of the two rubrics developed by Reichow et al (2008): the single-case research (SCRD) rubric or the conventional group design rubric. These rubrics are regularly used in reviews of interventions for children and adolescents (e.g., Alresheed et al 2018;McLay et al 2019;Whalon et al 2015), are appropriate for use in both SCRD and group design studies, and provide operationalized definitions of key evaluation criteria. They were therefore considered appropriate for use within this review.…”

Issues with sleep onset and maintenance are common among many children and adolescents with developmental disabilities. A lack of experienced practitioners, financial cost, and practical issues associated with providing parent coaching in the family home during evenings pose a number of barriers to successful sleep intervention. Telehealth interventions represent a potential approach for facilitation of the delivery of treatments for sleep problems in children and adolescents that may alleviate some of the challenges of delivering services equitably and in a timely manner. In the present review, we systematically searched for, summarized, and appraised the quality of ten studies that have used telehealth interventions for the treatment of sleep problems in children and adolescents. The majority of studies used Webbased platforms to deliver content as part of a multi-component intervention. For children, interventions were parent mediated; however, adolescents engaged directly in the intervention process, which typically included cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia. Each of the studies reported positive overall treatment effects though only five of the studies met criteria that reflected strong methodological rigor, thus limiting the strength of the conclusions. This review identifies current telehealth practices and areas for future research.

“…One study was located that encompassed all STEM areas (Ehsan, Rispoli, Lory, & Gregori, 2018), three focused on mathematics (Barnett & Cleary, 2015;Gervarter, Bryant, Bryant, Watkins, Zamora, & Sammarco, 2016;King, Lemons, & Davidson, 2016). Three review literature publications focused on content-areas interventions (Alresheed, Machalicek, Sanford, & Bano, 2018;Spencer et al, 2014) including a focus on comprehension strategies in content areas (Knight & Sartini, 2015). In each of the three studies, over a quarter of the included original studies were STEM related (26%, 20%, 30%, respectfully).…”

“…All except one of these studies suggested evidence of a causal relation. Parents express a lack of proper academic adjustments for their children with ASD [42,[109][110][111], and previous research has mainly been conducted in segregated settings [112][113][114][115]. Clearly, it is now time to give more priority to research on pedagogical strategies in mainstream school.…”

Background: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adapted by the United Nations envisions inclusive and equitable quality education. While there is a growing body of research on interventions designed to help children on the autism spectrum adapt to the school environment, accommodations to children needs have been given less attention. Objective: To synthesize the literature on accommodations in the learning environment for children on the autism spectrum (ages 5-19 years) in mainstream school, with a specific focus on the effects on functioning, educational outcomes and well-being. Methods: A systematic search was conducted. The study selection and data extraction were performed by two independent reviewers. Eligible studies were assessed according to the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) standards. Results: The search yielded 6102 citations. Only 37 eligible studies were identified, of which 14 met the WWC standards. This inconclusive and heterogeneous body of research tentatively suggest that accommodations in the pedagogical and psychosocial leaning environment can improve performance and function in school. Conclusion and significance: Accommodations in the learning environment is a promising but understudied approach. Creative research and innovation will be needed to support policy makers and school personnel in their quest to ensure inclusive and equitable education.
