Special needs summer camps are specialized programs designed for children and young adults with a range of disabilities, including autism spectrum disorder (ASD), ADHD, Down syndrome, and other developmental or physical challenges.

'These results do not support our hypothesis that parenthood is positively associated with hedonic wellbeing (levels of positive emotions) and life satisfaction,' the researchers, from the University of Nicosia in Cyprus, wrote.

"I am grateful to be part of this historic movement to empower children with technology and education."

A recent study on students' intentions to take online courses highlights that performance expectancy, hedonic motivation, and flexibility are the main reasons why students adopt online learning programs. This finding is like what I have seen in the study of student enrollment trends in higher education. If we want to discover the secret of turning student curiosity into a commitment to completing an academic program, we need to understand the motivations for student course enrollment.

As Bronx social studies teacher Seth Gilman sipped his coffee and prepared to log on for a day of virtual teaching, he was met with an error message. At first, he worried it would be a repeat of a disastrous pivot to remote learning during a 2024 snowstorm. "Oh no, not again," he thought to himself. But within about 20 minutes, his school had resolved the issue and he logged in to Google Classroom, the platform schools use to share schedules and Zoom links.

You need to raise the children you have-not the ones you would have liked to have. This statement captures the essence of effective parenting: accepting your children's inherent nature rather than imposing your idealized vision upon them.

If you haven't already, I think it might be worth talking to the teacher to ask how nap time works and if it's "optional"-that is, are there kids that aren't napping during nap time and are allowed to play? If there is a group that's doing activities instead of napping, you can inquire about keeping Rachel up during nap time, and see if that helps.

Scaling learning should be a sign of success. More employees. More roles. More regions. More skills to build. On the surface, these are the markers of a growing, forward-moving organization. But for many Learning and Development (L&D) teams, scaling learning feels less like progress and more like pressure. Every new hire cohort, geographic expansion, or capability initiative introduces friction. What once worked well for a few hundred employees begins to strain-and eventually break-when applied to thousands.

When we look more closely at how and why organizations actually invest in these systems, we can see that the popularity of adaptive learning has far less to do with pedagogical ambition and far more to do with operational pressure. Understanding this gap between how adaptive learning is marketed and how it is used in practice is critical for organizations trying to decide whether it is the right approach for their learning needs.

When I shared the reasoning behind this decision on Instagram, my DMs exploded with messages from thousands of parents quietly navigating the same issues. Watching their capable, intelligent children crumble and wondering if they're the only ones considering alternatives. Many of them told me they feel like failures for even thinking about stepping outside the system. But we're not failing ― the system is.
