Researchers have identified an inner ear deficiency in children with Autism that may impact their ability to recognize speech.

A new study from Aarhus University has now documented that there is some truth to the claim by parents of children with ADHD that their children have more difficulty falling asleep and that they sleep more poorly than other children.

Empathetic teachers enhance children’s motivation and academic skills, such as reading, writing and arithmetic skills.

A positive atmosphere created by the teacher also safeguards and increases children’s motivation for learning, according to the Finnish First Steps study currently ongoing at the University of Eastern Finland, the University of Jyväskylä and the University of Turku.
