In addition, parent perspectives of their involvement in parent-implemented early intervention programs have not been well studied. Using both qualitative and quantitative data to examine parent perspectives and the perceived feasibility of parent training by community providers, 13 families were followed as they received training in the Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Intervention, Project ImPACT. Data indicate that parent training by community providers is feasible and well received, and parents find value in participating in intervention and perceive benefit for their children. Recommendations for adaptation of program elements and future research are discussed.

Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, 2017

The experiences of these families are among the most unimaginable, eroding our usual means of managing the fact of violence and armed conflict in the world. The messages clinicians hear repeatedly include "we didn't think it could happen to us" or "neighbor killing neighbor." Horrific reports of unimaginable violence and suffering must impact us as clinicians, and yet, we need to help and even recruit others to help these suffering children and families. Therefore, it is our responsibility to offer support and guidance and to press for research on how to best support our colleagues in this work. Methods: This set of talks uses the experiences of child psychiatrists to delineate the challenges and responses of clinicians to work with refugee populations. Results: Participants will learn about the impact of working with refugees and receive practical guidance on how to withstand and even grow from this work. Conclusions: Research is limited in this area, and although we seek to study the impact on clinicians working with refugees, it is both valuable and necessary to share and discuss clinical experience as part of our duty to support clinicians working with refugees.

Methods: This presentation will draw upon a comprehensive literature review, lecture and discussion, and case presentations. Results: Sleep disorders, such as obstructive sleep apnea and restless legs syndrome, are common comorbidities in children with ADHD. These may either exacerbate ADHD symptoms or in some cases be the primary cause of ADHD symptoms. Other sleep disorders, such as delayed sleep-wake phase disorder and insomnia, also appear to be significantly more common in these children and may be more "intrinsic" to ADHD. Thus, the child mental health professional needs to have an approach to evaluating the relative contribution of sleep problems to the daytime manifestations of ADHD. Although many behavioral interventions for insomnia are common across different mental illnesses, there is an emerging literature supporting unique approaches in children with ADHD. Finally, the role of ADHD medications, including stimulants and nonstimulants and specifics such as dosage and timing, are important to consider in evaluating emerging sleep problems in these children. In addition, the appropriate use of sedative hypnotic drugs should be based as much as possible on existing empirical evidence and clinical experience. Conclusions: The current status of knowledge regarding comorbid sleep disorders in ADHD and the selection of both behavioral and pharmacological interventions will be discussed in detail during the presentation.

The effect of the amount of Sn on the formation of fcc phase in Ti−13Ta−xSn (x=3, 6, 9 and 12, at... more The effect of the amount of Sn on the formation of fcc phase in Ti−13Ta−xSn (x=3, 6, 9 and 12, at.%) alloys was studied. The alloys were synthesized by mechanical alloying using a planetary mill, jar and balls of stabilized yttrium. Using Rietveld refinement, it was found that the obtained fcc phase has crystallite size smaller than 10 nm and microstrain larger than 10 −3. Both conditions are required to form an fcc phase in Ti-based alloys. For all samples, the microstructure of the fcc phase consists of equiaxial crystallites with sizes smaller than 10 nm. The largest presence of fcc phase in the studied Ti alloy was found with 6 at.% Sn, because this alloy exhibits the largest microstrain (1.5×10 −2) and crystallite size of 6.5 nm. Experimental data reveal that a solid solution and an amorphous phase were formed during milling. The necessary conditions to promote the formation of solid solution and amorphous phases were determined using thermodynamic calculations. When the amount of Sn increases, the energy required to form an amorphous phase varies from approximately 10 to approximately −5 kJ/mol for 3 and 12 at.% Sn, respectively. The thermodynamic calculations are in agreement with XRD patterns analysis and HRTEM results.

Longitudinal studies of adults with autism spectrum and without intellectual disability have shown consistent and persistent deficits across cognitive, social, and vocational domains, indicating a need for effective treatments of functional disabilities as each impact employment. This initial pilot study is an open trial investigation of the feasibility, acceptability, and initial estimates of outcomes for the newly developed Supported Employment, Comprehensive Cognitive Enhancement, and Social Skills intervention, a manualized "soft skills" curriculum, to enhance both cognitive and social development in adults with autism spectrum. A total of eight adults with autism spectrum, without intellectual disability (78% males), participated in the study. Results support the original hypothesis that adults with autism spectrum can improve both cognitive (i.e. exec...
