The effectiveness of augmented reality‐based interventions for individuals with autism and/or intellectual and developmental disabilities: A Bayesian three‐level meta‐analysis of single‐case experimental design data

British Journal of Educational Technology, Volume 57, Issue 1, Page 55-78, January 2026.
A Bayesian three‐level meta‐analysis was conducted to examine the effectiveness of Augmented Reality (AR) based interventions in enhancing the domain‐specific skills of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and/or intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Five moderators, age, gender, disorder type, AR content and skill domains, were

Mapping Our Cities for All: A participatory baseline of business accessibility in Canada

Canadian Geographies / Géographies canadiennes, Volume 70, Issue 1, Spring / printemps 2026.
Abstract Canada has committed to eliminating accessibility barriers by 2040, yet municipalities lack clear, comparable evidence on where building access breaks down. To address this gap, we set out to produce and test a participatory, city‐scale method to measure building accessibility of businesses. We report results from Mapping Our Cities for All, a

Assessment of Life Safety Risk in Building Fires With an Integrated Fire and Evacuation Model

Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
This paper presents an integrated simulation methodology that combines fire hazard modeling with pedestrian evacuation analysis to evaluate how tenability conditions affect occupant egress. In the proposed approach, fire scenarios representative of leisure and spa resorts are modeled using the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS).
