The current research uses an established implementation science framework to adapt and implement an evidence-based Family-School Partnership Intervention (FPSI) to prevent developmental delays and barriers to learning among preschoolers with social-communication delays. FSPI is implemented by regular preschool staff and integrates Evidence Based Practices from education (i.e., strategies for establishing reciprocal partnerships with parents; Developmentally Appropriate Practice; National Association for the Education of Young Children) and clinical parent coaching interventions targeting social-communication deficits in toddlers with autism (Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Interventions).</p>The Voice of the Bilingual Teacher: An Authoritative Source for Emergent Bilingual Students’ Success -A Narrative Inquiry2023-06-16T13:12:45-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc2123265/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc2123265/"><img alt="The Voice of the Bilingual Teacher: An Authoritative Source for Emergent Bilingual Students’ Success -A Narrative Inquiry" title="The Voice of the Bilingual Teacher: An Authoritative Source for Emergent Bilingual Students’ Success -A Narrative Inquiry" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc2123265/small/"/></a></p><p>Presentation on a study that sought the voice of the bilingual teacher through their lived experiences in relation to the success of Hispanic emergent bilinguals in school.

The proposed study will examine the feasibility and initial efficacy of a stakeholder-informed, home-based, remotely supported and supervised exercise training program for wheelchair users with multiple sclerosis (MS). The proposed exercise training program was iteratively developed in partnership with community members using semi-structured interviews, a community advisory board, and focus group feedback wherein community members provided insights to develop and refine an exercise training program that suit the needs and preferences of wheelchair users with MS. Ultimately, the proposed study extends this line of research and may initiate a significant paradigm shift in rehabilitation research and practice by providing a critically needed home-based exercise training program for enhancing health, quality of life, participation, and independence of wheelchair user with MS.</p>Sex-specific mitochondrial dynamics and mitophagy response to muscle damage2022-09-30T11:33:25-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1998732/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1998732/"><img alt="Sex-specific mitochondrial dynamics and mitophagy response to muscle damage" title="Sex-specific mitochondrial dynamics and mitophagy response to muscle damage" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1998732/small/"/></a></p><p>Article presents a study examining the effect of sex-specific resistance exercise (RE)-induced hormonal response on mitochondrial dynamics and mitophagy after muscle damage in untrained men and women.</p>Project Communicate2022-09-12T16:05:11-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1997199/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1997199/"><img alt="Project Communicate" title="Project Communicate" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1997199/small/"/></a></p><p>Data management plan for the grant, "Project Communicate."
