The second sentence, as you've written it, is not grammatical, it should be, in rough accordance with the structure of original sentence: "The findings of the study provide the notion, with strong support, that it has some negative impact on the children's intellectual development.

Thanks for the comment. But that's not the point.

I wonder if 'for the notion that...' should be taken as a modifier of '(strong) support' or not.
