This article presents some results of the evaluative research that was conducted on a collaborative school consulting program to facilitate integration of adolescents with behavior disorders in mainstream classes of secondary schools. It examines particularly the stakeholders' perceptions regarding the conditions of program effectiveness. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with teachers (N = 42), resource persons accompanying individuals or groups (N = 11) and school managers (N = 8). According to qualitative analysis of the interviews, the program should be easily implemented with secondary teachers in order to facilitate the integration of EBD students. The problem solving process seems the core element of the program.

Interest in the place accorded to gifted adults in our society and the socio-occupational integration difficulties they have to deal with has grown over the last few years. Despite their intelligence, gifted people have certain vulnerabilities and do not always enjoy working conditions that would allow them to develop to their full potential. However, public policies, be they European or national, are paying more attention to their place in socio-productive organizations. Given the importance of promoting diversity and quality of work life, a collective investment in this issue would undoubtedly be beneficial to society and allow it to better integrate the myriad resources of human intelligence.

SummaryIn this article, we will describe the impacts of dyslexia on the behaviours of dyslexic workers within their organization. The learning disabilities associated with the invisible disability of dyslexia can lead to situations of stigmatization in childhood, causing wounds, or stigmas, in the individuals concerned, which remain open throughout their lives and which, when revived in an organizational environment, will lead to a response of concealing the disability. To carry out this research, we used life story methodology (Bertaux, 1997) to analyze the results of a 4-year study of 21 people. A research protocol was adapted to this sensitive topic to facilitate the interviewees' testimony. The results show that dyslexic workers can develop several types of tactics to hide their disability in order to avoid new suffering induced by the revival of their stigma. Thus, our article focuses on how this stigma impacts dyslexic workers in their tactics of disability concealment and disclosure. These tactics have been discussed by Clair et al. (2005) and Jones and King (2014). Our analysis enriches that literature by demonstrating the existence of tactics other than those described by the above two studies, such as the one we call the tactic of disability transfiguration. Our analysis also offers keys to understanding the consequences of having a stigma, for dyslexic workers, with regard to the process of disclosing this disability. AbstractBeing affected by dyslexia in the workplace can be a challenge. Already victims of stigmatization during their education because of the disorders caused by this handicap, dyslexic workers deploy strategies to blend in and avoid having their handicap detected in order not to relive these situations of suffering. This research was carried out with the aim of uncovering these strategies of concealment put in place by these workers in order to maintain a positive image with their managers and their team. The researcher is himself dyslexic and can access this sensitive terrain and adopt an auto-ethnographic posture.

How might music teachers help their students cope with the anxiety-provoking aspects of public performance? This article aims to provide some elements to answer this question. It is important to consider that public performance is one of the main aspects of musical practice from the start of the learning process. Given the high prevalence of music performance anxiety—mpa among musicians of all levels and ages, the teacher has an important role. Based on a literature review, the sources of mpa are analyzed and, for each of them, strategies that could be used by a music teacher are indicated. Emphasis is placed on prevention and on the importance of raising music teachers' awareness of mpa.

How do we distinguish socially legitimate singularities (differences, dissimilarities, extravagances, etc.) from disturbing figures of disorder (deviations, pathologies, anomies, etc.) who activate the “invisible hand of intervention” (psychologists, doctors, social workers, sociologists, etc.)? What are the normative conditions of astonishment, concern, and indignation that mobilize sociologists (and other “logists”)? How do we switch from the series “observe, understand, and let be” to “worry, analyze, and intervene”? We will develop our argument in five steps: 1) distinguish two elementary forms of the conditions of attention (resemblance and analysis) when it comes to apprehending an unknown phenomenon; 2) sketch the characteristics of a space of order in terms of liminal functions (possible–impossible, thinkable–unthinkable, etc.) and interfaces (human–nonhuman, conforming–deviant, etc.); 3) problematize the “obviousness” of the new space of order around emotion and intersectionality; 4) describe how “the invisible hand of intervention” distinguishes the statuses of “abnormal” (pathology, problem, deviance, etc.) and “anomalous” (difference, dissimilarity, diversity, etc.) to “classify” the different phenomena; and, finally, 5) list some contemporary characteristics of our “sociological way of reading” the “problematic social” universe, that is, our specific way of “paying attention” to the social.

This article shows the difficulties that the human aid from the Disability Compensation Benefit (PCH) has raised and may still raise in order to guarantee the effectiveness of this right. This analysis is based on work carried out since 2015 on human aid, on departmental houses of disabled persons (MDPH) and on disabilities due to alterations of mental, psychological and/or cognitive functions. Based on the elaboration and implementation process of the human aid plan, the aim of this article is to describe obstacles and factors facilitating the consideration of the environment from the person's disability situation perspective. Thus, we will see that taking environmental factors into account is part of a chain of responses characterized by a density of important constraints.

Stigmatization is a topical issue for autistic people. However, the lack of instruments to measure the challenges associated with stigmatization available in French is a barrier to research on the topic. To address this issue, we translated three tools to (a) measure explicit attitudes, knowledge, and openness toward autism in a French-speaking population, (b) examine the influence of sociodemographic variables on these measures, and (c) assess potential relations between these three constructs. We recruited 53 participants from a pre-university college who responded to three questionnaires: the Societal Attitudes Towards Autism, the Autism Spectrum Knowledge Scale – General Population, and the Openness to Autism Scale. The scores of the participants on each questionnaire were similar to those reported in English-speaking populations. Furthermore, the participants who knew an autistic person showed higher scores on the knowledge scale. The analyses also uncovered a moderate correlation between the scales measuring explicit attitudes and openness, suggesting that these two questionnaires were measuring some similar constructs. Although more in-depth analyses of the psychometric properties are necessary to fully investigate the relevance of the translated scales, they seem promising to examine the effects of programs to raise awareness about autism in a French-speaking population.

<br>Pathogenic variants in the gene - chromodomain, helicase, DNA binding (CHD) 7, an ATP-dependent chromatin remodeller are a major cause of a developmental disorder called CHARGE syndrome. CHARGE is an acronym that describes the characteristic features presented by the patients: Coloboma, Heart defects, Atresia choanae, Retardation in growth and development, Genital abnormalities, and Ear defects. In severe cases of CHARGE, patients rarely survive beyond 5 years of age, and yet there is no known treatment to alleviate its defects beyond behavioural therapy. Although not prominently included in its diagnostic criteria, patients with CHARGE often present with brain developmental defects and behavioural anomalies that include microcephaly, intellectual disability, seizures and overlapping symptoms with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), hyperactivity, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and obsessive-compulsive disorder …
