  • An Exploration from a Life Course Perspective of the Transition from School for Autistic Young People
    An Exploration from a Life Course Perspective of the Transition from School for Autistic Young People Caitlin Marie Taggart Bachelor of Arts (Psychology) Master of Occupational Therapy Studies A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2018 School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences Abstract The transition from school is a feature of typical adolescence, but can be challenging for autistic young people. While their experiences at school can be difficult, schools also afford structure and routine and can provide external support for young autistic people and their families. They provide reasonably predictable social networks as well as opportunities to encounter others outside of the family. Upon leaving school, autistic young people lose ready access to expected routines and established social groups and often disengage from the community. For many, the transition from school is confusing and stressful. In this thesis, I explore, from a life course perspective, the transition from school for autistic young people without intellectual impairment. Life transitions involve relinquishing some roles and adopting others. Adopting new roles such as worker, homemaker, parent and spouse, which are more complex and less predictable than the role of school child, can be problematic for autistic young people. For example, the unpredictability of interview processes and environments (e.g., the questions to be asked, bright lights, distracting noises) can make getting a job difficult. Difficulties identifying and responding to unspoken social rules and workplace routines can result in loss of employment. The transition from school is one of many turning points within a person’s whole life.

  • Proceedings of the Workshop on Automatic Text Simplification
    COLING 2014 Automatic Text Simplification Methods and Applications in the Multilingual Society Proceedings of the Workshop August 24th, 2014 Dublin, Ireland c 2014 The Authors The papers in this volume are licensed by the authors under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. ISBN 978-1-873769-42-3 Proceedings of the Workshop on Automatic Text Simplification - Methods and Applications in the Multilingual Society (ATS-MA 2014) Constantin Orasan, Petya Osenova and Cristina Vertan (eds.) ii Introduction The remarkable development of language technology tools in recent years in terms of robustness, computational speed and volume of processed data, together with the increasing number of languages covered, made possible their usage not only for specific research applications, but also for real world applications which prove useful in everyday life. Automatic correction of text, machine translation, extraction of important information and interaction with devices using speech are just some of these applications. Language technology now has the maturity to be used for addressing societal challenges such as helping people with disabilities, the elderly and migrants. However, due to the ambiguity and complexity of natural language, its automatic processing is still very challenging and benefits from processing shorter and less ambiguous information. The same is true for people who have difficulties understanding text due to disabilities, or who have to read texts in a language they do not have a good command of. In all these cases, automatic text simplification can prove to be very useful. In contrast to controlled languages, which practically create a sublanguage by imposing constraints on the grammar rules, discourse style, number of words in a sentence etc., text simplification eliminates or replaces parts of sentences or paragraphs, or even reformulates them according to specific requirements of the target user groups.

  • Section 41: Secretary of State Approved List
    Section 41: Secretary of State Approved List Section 41 of the Children and Families Act 2014 allows the Secretary of State by order to publish a list of approved independent educational institutions, independent special schools and post-16 institutions for the purposes of satisfying Section 38 (Preparation of an Education, Health and Care (EHC) plan by local authorities) of the Act. Institutions can only be included on the list with their consent. The list has been refreshed to include approved autumn term applicants and remove institutions who have not continued to meet the Section 41 eligibility criteria. The Children and Families Act places specific duties upon institutions on the approved list: institutions on the approved list must “have regard” to the SEN Code of Practice; institutions on the approved list have a reciprocal duty to co-operate with the local authority on arrangements for children and young people with SEN; local authorities’ published local offer must refer to the institutions on the approved list; specific duties and rights relating to admissions, in line with maintained schools, Academies, FE colleges and non-maintained special schools: o a child or young person has a right to request that an institution on the approved list is named in their EHC Plan; o if the institution is named in an EHC Plan, the local authority is under a qualified duty to secure a place; o if the institution is named in an EHC Plan, the institution must admit the pupil or young person. Local authorities should satisfy themselves with the latest education and social care inspection information when preparing the EHC plan.

The last few years have seen a resurgence of work on text simplification and readability. Examples include learning lexical and syntactic simplification operations from Simple English Wikipedia revision histories, exploring more complex lexico-syntactic simplification operations requiring morphological changes as well as constituent reordering, simplifying mathematical form, applications for target users such as dyslexics, deaf students, second language learners and low literacy adults, and fresh attempts at predicting readability. The PITR 2014 workshop has been organised to provide a cross-disciplinary forum for discussing key issues related to predicting and improving text readability for target users. It will be held on April 27, 2014 in conjunction with the 14th Conference of the European Association for Computational Linguistics in Gothenburg, Sweden, and is sponsored by the

Foremost, I would like to express my sincere thanks to the University of Bolton for this opportunity and my gratitude to my supervisor Dr David Kitchener (University of Bolton) for the continuous support of my MPhil study and research, for his patience, motivation and immense knowledge. His guidance helped me in all the time of research and writing of this thesis. I have also benefited greatly from my husband’s guidance, encouragement and invaluably constructive criticism during this project work. He’s been a source of inspiration to me. I would also like to express my gratitude to the research participants and their families for their cooperation in this study. Last but not least I am deeply thankful to my children for their patience, unconditional love and support in everything I do. This dissertation is heartily dedicated to them.
