The neurodevelopment of children is highly affected by Autism and it causes social impairment, communication difficulties and restrictive-repetitive challenging behaviors. In addition, this group of children often face several barriers in availing formal education. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to explore the opportunities-barriers and their consequences in the current status of special education in context of Bangladesh. A qualitative design was used for this study. Data was analyzed through content analysis. There were eight respondents purposively selected from special teachers, therapists and parents of children with autism from two special schools. The result showed that school teachers and therapists were cooperative and helpful. Trained teachers, different therapeutic service, health education, primary screening opportunities such as vision, hearing, social and emotional status, general intelligence are helping better academic performance hence considered as opportunities. The fundamental barriers included lack of transportation, expensive learning process and therapeutic charge, lack of knowledge of teachers, social stigma, poor government support and infrastructures of the schools.

The study aimed at identifying the teacher practices that support the implementation of the new business subjects’ curriculum in selected secondary schools of Kabale district, Uganda. The study was underpinned by Ralph W. Tyler’s (1949) principles of curriculum theory. Based on the pragmatist perspective, a concurrent triangulation research design was adopted. Data were collected from 37 business subject teachers and 13 directors of studies across 13 secondary schools in Kabale district, making a total of 50 participants. Data were collected using semi-structured in-depth interview schedules, and survey questionnaires. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics while qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis approach by Braun and Clarke (2006). Findings revealed that ICT integration, assessment and evaluation, lesson planning, use of teaching aids, and integration of teaching methods were the major teacher practices that business subject teachers use to support implementation of the new business subjects’ curriculum. It emerged that business subject teachers had some knowledge on ICT; were fully equipped in designing assessment items; dominated class sessions with both teacher-centeredness and learner-centeredness; and prepared prior actual implementation process for consistency and timely completion of the syllabus. The quantitative findings revealed that: the majority (56%) of business subject teachers applied a combination of teacher practices in a single lesson. The findings provide insights into the teacher practices that support business subject’s teachers in the implementation of the new curriculum and could be useful in informing the development of guidelines for the implementation of the same.

Various physical conditions appear with greater frequency in autistic individuals in comparison to non-autistic people and can lead to higher morbidity, lower quality of life, and lower life expectancy. A voluntary primary care annual health check (AHC) scheme is in place in the UK for patients with intellectual disabilities (ID), some of whom will also be autistic. We report the results of a study involving an online questionnaire disseminated via Twitter to investigate knowledge, attitudes, and practices of UK General Practitioners (GPs) concerning barriers and enablers to autistic adults accessing primary healthcare services. Amongst other matters, we found that (1) autistic people who are independent for the most part face the greatest struggles accessing primary healthcare, and (2) advocates of AHCs for autistic adults face the twin challenges of convincing extremely busy GPs to prioritise AHCs, and of advocacy on behalf of people with other conditions.
