1 Recommended Books About the Disability Experience Adventures In
Recommended Books About the Disability Experience Adventures in the Mainstream: Coming of Age with Down Syndrome. (2005). Greg Palmer. Like many parents, Greg Palmer worries about his son’s future. But his son Ned’s last year of high school raises concerns and anxieties for him that most parents don’t experience. Ned has Down syndrome; when high school ends for him, school is out forever. The questions loom: What’s next? How will Ned negotiate the world without the structure of school? Will he find a rewarding job in something other than food service? To help him sort out these questions and document his son’s transition from high school to work, Palmer, an award-winning writer and producer of PBS documentaries, keeps a journal that’s the basis of this thoughtful and entertaining book. (Amazon.com) After the Tears: Parents Talk About Raising a Child With a Disability. (1987). Robin Simons. In parenting a child with a disability you face a major choice. You can believe that your child's condition is a death blow to everything you've dreamed and worked toward until now or you can decide that you will continue to lead the life you'd planned - and incorporate your child into it. Parents who choose the latter course find they do a tremendous amount of growing. This is the story of many such parents - parents who have struggled, learned and grown in the years since their children were born. They share their stories with you to give you the benefit of their experiences, to let you know you're not alone, and to offer you encouragement in growing with and loving your child. -
Disability in an Age of Environmental Risk by Sarah Gibbons a Thesis
Disablement, Diversity, Deviation: Disability in an Age of Environmental Risk by Sarah Gibbons A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2016 © Sarah Gibbons 2016 I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This dissertation brings disability studies and postcolonial studies into dialogue with discourse surrounding risk in the environmental humanities. The central question that it investigates is how critics can reframe and reinterpret existing threat registers to accept and celebrate disability and embodied difference without passively accepting the social policies that produce disabling conditions. It examines the literary and rhetorical strategies of contemporary cultural works that one, promote a disability politics that aims for greater recognition of how our environmental surroundings affect human health and ability, but also two, put forward a disability politics that objects to devaluing disabled bodies by stigmatizing them as unnatural. Some of the major works under discussion in this dissertation include Marie Clements’s Burning Vision (2003), Indra Sinha’s Animal’s People (2007), Gerardine Wurzburg’s Wretches & Jabberers (2010) and Corinne Duyvis’s On the Edge of Gone (2016). The first section of this dissertation focuses on disability, illness, industry, and environmental health to consider how critics can discuss disability and environmental health in conjunction without returning to a medical model in which the term ‘disability’ often designates how closely bodies visibly conform or deviate from definitions of the normal body. -
The Joy of Autism: Part 2
However, even autistic individuals who are profoundly disabled eventually gain the ability to communicate effectively, and to learn, and to reason about their behaviour and about effective ways to exercise control over their environment, their unique individual aspects of autism that go beyond the physiology of autism and the source of the profound intrinsic disabilities will come to light. These aspects of autism involve how they think, how they feel, how they express their sensory preferences and aesthetic sensibilities, and how they experience the world around them. Those aspects of individuality must be accorded the same degree of respect and the same validity of meaning as they would be in a non autistic individual rather than be written off, as they all too often are, as the meaningless products of a monolithically bad affliction." Based on these extremes -- the disabling factors and atypical individuality, Phil says, they are more so disabling because society devalues the atypical aspects and fails to accommodate the disabling ones. That my friends, is what we are working towards -- a place where the group we seek to "help," we listen to. We do not get offended when we are corrected by the group. We are the parents. We have a duty to listen because one day, our children may be the same people correcting others tomorrow. In closing, about assumptions, I post the article written by Ann MacDonald a few days ago in the Seattle Post Intelligencer: By ANNE MCDONALD GUEST COLUMNIST Three years ago, a 6-year-old Seattle girl called Ashley, who had severe disabilities, was, at her parents' request, given a medical treatment called "growth attenuation" to prevent her growing. -

Síndrome De Asperger a Síndrome De Asperger É Um Tipo De Autismo, Mas Sem Nenhum Atraso Ou Retardo Nodesenvolvimento E Da Linguagem
Síndrome de Asperger A síndrome de Asperger é um tipo de autismo, mas sem nenhum atraso ou retardo nodesenvolvimento e da linguagem. Quando adultos, os portadores podem viver de formacomum, como qualquer outra pessoa que não possui a síndrome. Há indivíduos com Aspergerque se tornam professores universitários. Alguns sintomas desta síndrome são: • Interesses específicos ou preocupações com um tema, em detrimento de outrasatividades; • Peculiaridades na fala e na linguagem; • Padrões de pensamento lógico/técnico extensivo (às vezes comparado com ostraços de personalidade do personagem Spock de Jornada nas Estrelas); • Comportamento socialmente e emocionalmente impróprio e problemas deinteração interpessoal; • Problemas com comunicação; • Transtornos motores, movimentos desajeitados e descoordenados.As características mais comuns e importantes podem ser divididas em várias categoriasamplas: as dificuldades sociais, os interesses específicos e intensos, e peculiaridades na fala ena linguagem. A principal característica é a dificuldade com o convívio social. Os não-autistassão capazes de captar informação sobre os estados emocionais de outras pessoas pelaexpressão facial, linguagem corporal, humor e ironia. Já os portadores de Asperger não têmessa capacidade, o que é às vezes chamado de "cegueira emocional".As pessoas com Asperger não têm a habilidade natural de enxergar a comunicaçãoimplícita da interação social, e podem não ter capacidade de expressar seu próprio estadoemocional, resultando em observações e comentários que podem soar ofensivos apesar debem-intencionados, ou na impossibilidade de identificar o que é socialmente "aceitável". Asregras informais do convívio social que angustiam os portadores de Asperger são descritascomo " o currículo oculto ". Os Aspergers precisam aprender estas aptidões sociaisintelectualmente de maneira clara, seca, lógica como matemática, em vez de intuitivamentepor meio da interação emocional normal. -

University Place University Place
Shires et al.: University Place University Place Italy and the United States. "We were extremely excited about this fabulous proj ect," says Barbara Deimling, director of the Florence Center. "Essentially, it was about cross-cultural exchange." The production, which featured music by contemporary composer Oliver Knussen, was the first cooperative effort between the Teatro Maggio Musicale and a U.S. institu tion in the production of an opera. Syracuse University was also the first institution to place interns with the theater. Students were involved in many ways, including assisting with set and costume design through two classes last fall. Student internships related to the project included working with the hospitalized children of Meyer Pediatric Hospital of Florence to create papier-mache monsters that were seated among audience members during the shows; introducing the book and the opera to hundreds of Italian schoolchildren as part of their English and music classes; and documenting the work-in-progress as photographic report ers. Several faculty members were also involved, including drama professor Alex Koziara, lighting designer for the produc tion. "This is the ultimate collaboration between the visual and performing arts," says Dean Carole Brzozowski '81 . "We had faculty and students on two continents working to make this story come alive. I am honored that our college was a part of this production." Artistic director and choreographer Amy Luckenbach, an internationally renowned puppet-master, presented the character of Max as a puppet so the monsters would appear human-sized-an idea that Sendak, who attended the premiere, described as Visual & Performing Arts » "THE NIGHT MAx woRE "brilliant." The premiere also featured a lecture on the author's his wolf suit and made mischief of one kind and another, work, a gala charity event to benefit the Meyer Pediatric his mother called him 'Wild Thing!"' ..
