Dr. Solomon’s research was recently highlighted in the International Journal of Early Childhood Special Education (INT-JECSE).

“Findings from this study are clinically significant insofar as they suggest that high levels of depression symptoms do not impede parents’ participation in RBIs. Rather, results suggest that RBIs, such as PLAY, may be effective both at enhancing children’s social functioning while having a secondary effect on reducing parents’ depression symptoms.”

“International Journal of Early Childhood Special Education (INT-JECSE) is an online, open-access, scholarly, peer-reviewed journal offering scholarly articles on various issues of young children with special needs (0-8 age) and their families. The INT-JECSE publishes empirical research, literature reviews, theoretical articles, and book reviews in all aspects of Early Intervention (EI)/Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE). Studies from diverse methodologies, including experimental studies using group or single-subject designs, descriptive studies using observational or survey methodologies, case studies, and qualitative studies, are welcome. High technical quality in the design, implementation, and description, as well as importance to the field is required to be reviewed and published in the INT-JECSE.”
