Article Title: IEP and Lesson Plan Development Handbook of Specially Designed Instruction and Supplementary Aids and Services

Authors: Kentucky Special Education Cooperatives and Kentucky Department of Education

Date of Publication: August 2003

In designing an Individual Education Program (IEP) for a student, the ARC must determine specific instructional strategies that teachers must use and the supplementary aids and services that the student needs in order for the student to have access to the Program of Studies (i.e., the general program).

This handbook is one resource that provides some examples of Specially Designed Instruction (SDI) and Supplementary Aids and Services (SAS) that might be used to support the student’s goals, benchmarks, and objectives on his/her IEP.”

The Learning Needs of Boys With KS – Information for Teachers & Parents

Article Title: The Learning Needs of Boys With KS – Information for Teachers & Parents

Authors: Paul Collingridge, Klinefelter’s Syndrome Association (UK)

Date of Publication: 2004

“Recent years have seen the tide turning in the ways that boys with Klinefelter’s Syndrome (KS) have settled down at school, this is reflected in the statistics of the Klinefelter’s Syndrome Association survey which pointed out that whilst virtually no adults had attended special schools as children, the figure had risen to around 1 in 3 by 1999. There is still a long way to go; many parents still feel the frustration of battling out for help against cash-strapped education authorities, and many teachers long for insight into the minds of boys with complex needs.”

Long-Term Testosterone Therapy Does Not Increase the Risk of Prostate Cancer

Article Title: Long-term testosterone therapy does not increase the risk of prostate cancer

Author: Elsevier Health Sciences

Date of Publication: November 25, 2014

“Testosterone (T) therapy is routinely used in men with hypogonadism, a condition in which diminished function of the gonads occurs. Although there is no evidence that T therapy increases the risk of prostate cancer (PCa), there are still concerns and a paucity of long-term data. In a new study in The Journal of Urology®, investigators examined three parallel, prospective, ongoing, cumulative registry studies of over 1,000 men. Their analysis showed that long-term T therapy in hypogonadal men is safe and does not increase the risk of PCa.

Management of Klinefelter syndrome during transition

Article Title: Management of Klinefelter syndrome during transition

Authors: I. Gies, D. Unuane, B. Velkeniers, J. De Schepper

Date of Publication: May 2014

“Medical treatment during transition into adulthood is focused on fertility preservation and testosterone replacement therapy in the case of hypo-androgenism, and alleviation of current or future consequences of testicular fibrosis. However, more research is needed to determine the need for pro-active testosterone treatment in adolescence, as well as the conditions for an optimal testosterone replacement and sperm retrieval in adolescents and young men with KS. Furthermore, screening for associated diseases such as metabolic syndrome, autoimmune diseases, thyroid dysfunction, and malignancies is warranted during this period of life. The practical medical management during transition and, more specifically, the role of the endocrinologist are discussed in this article.”

Vulnerability for autism traits in boys & men with an extra X chromosome (47,XXY): the mediating role of cognitive flexibility

Article Title: Vulnerability for autism traits in boys and men with an extra X chromosome (47,XXY): the mediating role of cognitive flexibility

Authors: Sophie van Rijn, Marit Bierman, Hilgo Bruining, Hanna Swaab

Date of Publication: August 11, 2012

“Our findings suggest that KS can be associated with dysfunctions in mental flexibility, and that individuals with more mental flexibility problems also have more autism traits. This insight is relevant for diagnosis, prevention and treatment of severe problems in individuals with KS. Implications also extend beyond this specific syndrome. As executive dysfunctions in KS have also been linked to ADHD symptoms and thought disorder, this could be a shared mechanism contributing to overlap in symptoms and comorbidity between different psychiatric conditions.”

The social brain in psychiatric and neurological disorders

Article Title: The social brain in psychiatric and neurological disorders

Authors: Daniel Kennedy and Ralph Adolphs

Date of Publication: October 6, 2012

“Psychiatric and neurological disorders have historically provided key insights into the structure-function relationships that subserve human social cognition and behavior, informing the concept of the ‘social brain’. In this review, we take stock of the current status of this concept, retaining a focus on disorders that impact social behavior.”

Unique – XYY: Understanding Chromosome Disorders

Article Title: Unique – XYY

Authors: Unique – Rare Chromosome Disorder Support Group

Date of Publication: 2006

“Approximately 1 boy in 1000 has XYY chromosomes. In the cells of their body, instead of 46 chromosomes including one X and one Y chromosome, they have one X and two Y chromosomes, making 47 in all. The impact of the extra Y chromosome is extremely variable. The great majority of boys and men with an extra Y chromosome are never aware of it, because they do not have symptoms that lead to a diagnosis. Only a small fraction of boys and men with XYY are ever diagnosed: recent estimates suggest 2.5% in the United Kingdom and 20% in Denmark.

Executive dysfunction and the relation with behavioral problems in children with 47,XXY and 47,XXX

Article Title: Executive dysfunction and the relation with behavioral problems in children with 47,XXY and 47,XXX

Authors: Sophie van Rijn and Hanna Swaab

Date of Publcation: February 12, 2015

“These findings suggest that executive dysfunction may be part of the phenotype of children with an extra X chromosome, impacting the ability to function adequately in everyday life. Furthermore, children with impairments in inhibition may have more problems in regulating their thinking, emotions and behavior.”
