Abstract Details

2004, MS, University of Cincinnati, Allied Health Sciences : Genetic Counseling.
Recent research on cognitive behavioral profiles for specific genetic syndromes, such as fragile X syndrome, has generated information that special educators can incorporate into their teaching practices, though few studies have assessed their use of this information. This cross-sectional study surveyed special educators to characterize what fragile X specific information they had acquired, what they found most useful, and what information dissemination strategies they preferred. Approximately half of the 271 participants had some information related to fragile X syndrome and 80.8% expressed interest in incorporating fragile X syndrome information into their teaching. Over 50% perceived the topics of teaching strategies, behavioral interventions, and cognitive behavioral profiles as very useful. Teachers prefer to receive information through printed material, internet resources, professional workshops and other teachers.
