[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The mainstream clothing market focuses on people without disabilities; however, all people should be free to enjoy aesthetic values of clothing, including wearing what they want to wear and being confident in their appearances. To remedy the lack of appropriate clothing for people with disabilities, it is important to understand their clothing needs and problems of a variety of apparel markets by including people with a variety of abilities. The primary goals of this research were to seek a more thorough understanding of the apparel needs of people who live with lower-body mobility impairments and use a wheelchair and to develop an inclusive set of design criteria for mainstream apparel products that address these apparel needs, especially men. The researcher used Rosenblad-Wallin's (1985) framework of clothing to help address clothing properties of PLBMI users. The researcher also used Keates and Clarkson's (2003)Inclusive Design Cube model to develop a set of inclusive clothing design criteria for people with lower-body mobility impairments. The research procedure consisted of two phases of exploratory qualitative research. First, the researcher analyzed the current adaptive clothing market for wheelchair users and its products through content analysis to gather basic information about adaptive clothing. People with disabilities' symbolic expression of independent living, social conformity, and respectability is affected by the clothing' design. In addition, fit, ease of donning and doffing, transferring system, thermal protection, sensory sensitivity, storage, and easy care are important functional aspects of adaptive clothing. Second, the researchers discovered the functional and symbolic apparel needs of people with lower-body mobility impairments, especially from the perspectives of men, by conducting interviews with men with lower-body mobility impairments. Through the research, the researchers identified additional clothing needs based on the sub themes we defined during the content analysis. Third, based on the findings, the researchers suggested baseline design criteria. The criteria met the apparel needs of both PLBMI while also considering mainstream users in accordance with the IDC model. In this approach, the purpose was not to suggest a single design but to provide an example of the reasonable application of information to create multiple designs of inclusive clothing.

The effects of training in letter-sound correspondences and phonemic decoding (segmenting and blending skills) on three kindergartners' word recognition abilities were examined using a single-subject multiple-baseline design across behaviors and subjects. Whereas CVC pseudowords were trained, generalization to untrained CVC pseudowords, untrained CVC real words, untrained CV and VC pseudowords, and untrained CV and VC real words were assessed. Generalization occurred to all of the untrained constructions for two of the three subjects. The third subject did not show the same degree of generalization to VC pseudowords and real words; however, after three training sessions, this subject read all VC constructions with 100% accuracy. Findings are consistent with group training studies that have shown the benefits of decoding training on word recognition and spelling skills and with studies that have demonstrated the effects of generalization to less complex structures when more complex structures are trained.

This study examined the effectiveness of matrix-training procedures in teaching action + object utterances in both the receptive and expressive language modalities. The subjects were 4 developmentally delayed preschool boys who failed to produce spontaneous, functional two-word utterances. A multiple baseline design across responses with a multiple probe technique was employed. Subjects were taught 4–6 of 48 receptive and 48 expressive responses. Acquisition of a word combination rule was facilitated by the use of familiar lexical items, whereas subsequent acquisition of new lexical knowledge was enhanced by couching training in a previously trained word combination pattern. Although receptive knowledge was not sufficient for the demonstration of corresponding expressive performance for most of the children, only minimal expressive training was required to achieve this objective. For most matrix items, subjects responded receptively before they did so expressively. For 2 subjects, when complete receptive recombinative generalization had not been achieved, expressive training facilitated receptive responding. The results of this study elucidate benefits to training one linguistic aspect (lexical item, word combination pattern) at a time to maximize generalization in developmentally delayed preschoolers.

The challenge of transforming an empty space into a gallery setting takes on the concept of place making. A place can be seen as space that has meaning when the setting considers space, surroundings, contents, the people and its activities. This research concentrates on investigating how visitors perceive the space by gauging their sense of place (sense of belonging towards a place). Galleries are currently facing changes in this technological era whereby multiple content and context, space and form, display modes, tools and devices are introduced in one single space. An observational study was done during the Foundation Studies Annual Exhibition held at Faculty of Creative Multimedia, Multimedia University. The exhibition was curated and managed by staff and students of Foundation Year showcasing an array of design works. Analogue and digital presentations of paintings, drawings, sculptures, photography and video works were displayed.. The outcome of this research will contribute towards a better design criteria of place making which affects individual behaviour, social values and attitudes. Characterizing types of visitor experience will improve the understanding of a better design criteria of place making, acceptance, understanding and satisfaction.
