Black students with disabilities miss significantly more instructional time due to suspension than their white peers, according to a new report released Thursday by Harvard University law professors and The Civil Rights Project at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA). The researchers argue that some of the student behaviors leading to suspension could be a result of their disability, such as emotional disturbance - calling this the "equivalent of denying that student access to education."

Child mental health problems are now recognized as a key public health concern, and the development of parenting programs have been used as one solution to reduce children's risk of mental health problems. However, the potential for widespread dissemination is hindered by low parental engagement in such programs. To increase parental engagement in preventive parenting programs, there needs to be a better understanding of the predictors of engagement, and the strategies that can be used to enhance engagement. Read about the predictors of engagement here. Download the study.
