The article deals with modelling of the system of functional mathematical literacy development of eighth form pupils with moderate special educational needs, learning in mainstream schools. Applying the action research method, the measurements of the participants of the (self-)educational process are analysed and, based on them, the possibilities of developing functional mathematical literacy of pupils with moderate SEN in the mainstream school, grounded on the approaches and ideas of pragmatism, social constructivism, social participation and empowerment theories, are revealed.

Long-term changes in neuropsychological status of the female body (emotional deprivation, depression, neuroses) contribute to the development of cancer. Novelty of the research includes the evidence of influence of art therapy on emotional adjustment of cancer patients, the reliability of laboratory-confirmed levels of oxidative stress and cytokines (regulatory proteins) as a prognostic indicator in the assessment of neuroendocrine cancer patients. Program of Restorative Art Therapy proved efficiency of changes in emotional stability, motivation to recover, improvement life quality of cancer patients.

The article deals with the peculiarities of social educators’ and parents’ cooperation possibilities in schools. The article presents the analysis of a qualitative semi-structured interview with parents (N=15) and a quantitative study with school educators (N=176). Employing targeted content analysis of parents’ and teachers’ opinion and written quantitative questionnaire, the peculiarities and possibilities of the cooperation between the participants of the educational process have manifested themselves. These include possible cooperation areas, factors promoting and hindering this process.

Research questions addressed the structure of an online form of content-focused general outcome measurement known as critical content monitoring. The assessment tool is designed to serve as an accurate and efficient measure learning performance and progress in science and social studies classes. Scores from single administrations of critical content monitoring probes that varied in content and length were correlated with results from a statewide accountability content test for a sample of American fifth-grade students. The magnitude of correlation was moderate for probes that included a single content (i.e., social studies) or a mix of two subjects (i.e., social studies and science). Comparable correlations were reported for probes that featured reduced time or increased questions. Limitations and research implications are discussed.

To ensure the fidelity of implementation of early intervention (EI) services in natural environments (NE), new types of partnerships are needed to systematically address this challenge. This paper describes one approach for effective professional development (PD) in EI to address the lack of systematic supports and PD for EI providers working with families in EI. The Early Intervention in Natural Environments Community of Practice (CoP) project was a six month study that endeavored to support previously trained EI providers in refining the use of their everyday practices. Given the potential of this approach for improving practices and child/family outcomes in the USA as well as in Europe through the development, implementation, and sustainability of a comprehensive system of ongoing PD, the NE CoP program evaluation plan and preliminary results are shared in their entirety.

The article presents the problem of paradoxicality of the activity of juvenile institutional education (i.e., socialisation centres operating in Lithuania). Several important variables have not been considered in the interaction of the activities of the socialisation centre, simultaneously of pedagogical and other staff and learners, their families/foster parents, and this resulted in inconsistency of the implementation of the complex resocialisation process. The article calls for the scientific discussion, actualising essential principles of resocialisation observed in socialisation centres, grounded on empirical data of children’s subjective experience (N= 97) and assessment of specialists of the child socialisation centre (N=94).

This article discloses the interrelations between social domain and subjective wellbeing of elderly people in Lithuania. The changes after the reestablishment of the independence of Lithuania challenged wellbeing differentiation in the society, which determined that some elderly people feel low wellbeing while others live normally. The influence of social domain on the subjective wellbeing among elderly people has shown that higher ratings of subjective wellbeing are based on strong social relations, family help in individual care while the state is a guarantee of financial resources, the level of social integration depends on the activity of various institutions as well as on different fears and social problems.

Research has indicated that youth eligible for special education services in residential centers are at an increased risk across many areas including overall health, medication use, academic, behavioral, and familial functioning. Yet it remains unknown how well they are able to read, understand, and use health-related information. The purpose of this study was to investigate the health literacy status of youth receiving special education (N= 61) services at a large residential care facility in the Midwest. Results indicate youth with disabilities are at increased risk of low health literacy in areas of reading recognition and comprehension. Specifically, well over 50% of the sample scored in the possible to likely limited health literacy level. Study limitations, future research, and implications are provided.

Article presents the theoretical understanding of usage of evidence-based practices in disability service promoting the most effective of practices. The details of identifying, promoting, and implementing EBPs involve a plethora of potentially problematic issues. Detail discussed purports of quality and quantity of the research describes wide application fi eld of EBP. Criterion-based frameworks for determining effective or evidence-based practices could be used as a practical guide in disability services. The essential steps in determining whether a practiceis evidence-based seem to be (a) locating the high quality, experimental research that examines the effectiveness of the practice and then (b) determining whether suffi cient quantity of evidence showing that the practice causes improved outcomes exists are discussed as well.
