Summary Derek Paravicini is blind, can not tell his right hand from his left, and needs round -the-clock care. But he has an extremely rare gift —he is a musical prodigy with perfect pitch whose piano-playing has thrilled audiences at venues from Ronnie Scott's to Las Vegas, the Barbican to Buckingham Palace. Born prematurely, Derek remained in hospital for three months and technically "died" several times before he was finally strong enough to go home. It was not long before his blindness became apparent, and later it became clear that he had severe learning difficulties and autism. Desperately trying to find something to engage and stimulate baby Derek, his nanny discovered a toy organ and put it down in front of him. Miraculously, Derek taught himself to play. Music proved to be an outlet for expressing himself and communicating with others —his way of dealing with a strange and confusing world.

Summary When Jeff Matovic burst into the office of Dr. Robert Maciunas, he had very few options left. Matovic had suffered for years from Tourette Syndrome, his full-body spasms and outbursts getting progressively worse, to the point that he saw suicide as a viable option.

Could it fix Matovic ’s Tourette ’s? All Matovic had to do was convince Dr. Maciunas that he was a perfect candidate for the procedure. That, and have several electrical leads —a “brain pacemaker”—implanted into his skull. Author Jim Fussell is uniquely qualified to tell Matovic ’s story—he suffers from Tourette Syndrome as well. Fussell ’s job as a feature writer for the Kansas City Star brought him in contact with Oprah Winfrey, who first Chicago Review Press told him about Jeff Matovic, the “Miracle Man.” As Fussell learned about Matovic ’s remarkable journey, he vowed 9781613743805 to seek him out.

200+ Educational Strategies to Teach Children of Color Jawanza Kunjufu
Summary With an emphasis on pragmatic approaches that can be accomplished in the classroom, this almanac of teaching solutions provides inner -city educators with 100 all-new strategies to daily challenges. As turnover rates remain excessively high among teachers in urban schools —83 percent of whom are white females who were ill-prepared by their college programs —the type of firsthand experience offered by this helpful manual continues to be an essential source of training. The advice and expertise presented is fully supported by real -life examples rather than intangible theory, and the details directly tackle issues of race and class while offering a legitimate criticism of the American school system that poses many of the problems that teachers face.
