  • Epistemic Institutions: Law's Encounters with Knowledge
    Epistemic Institutions: Law’s Encounters with Knowledge By James Dillon A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Jurisprudence and Social Policy in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Malcolm M. Feeley, Chair Professor Andrea L. Roth Professor Amy E. Lerman Summer 2018 Abstract Epistemic Institutions: Law’s Encounters with Knowledge by James Dillon Doctor of Philosophy in Jurisprudence and Social Policy University of California, Berkeley Professor Malcolm M. Feeley, Chair This dissertation examines the construction of “legal knowledge”—the finding of facts to which legal norms are to be applied in the adjudication of disputes—from an interdisciplinary perspective emphasizing epistemology, the sociology of scientific knowledge, political theory, and cognitive psychology. While the construction of legal knowledge is an essential component of the legal process and the principal task of American trial courts, the process remains fraught with practical and theoretical challenges that complicate simplistic conceptions of factfinding as a transparent process of veridical reconstruction of past events. Legal epistemic agents, like all epistemic agents, lack direct access to past events; thus, legal knowledge cannot perceive the past directly, but can only interpret it. The process of legal factfinding inevitably creates distortions and is subject to systemic biases in its effort to create a veridical construct of past events giving rise to a legal dispute. Although this dissertation cannot address every under-explored problem concerning the legitimacy and reliability of legal knowledge construction, its principal contribution is to bring interdisciplinary insights to bear on several of the more salient unresolved problems around the law’s engagement with knowledge claims and the construction of legal knowledge through the adversarial process.

  • ABOUT AUTISM in TODDLERS By: Rosie Portera, M.S., CCC-SLP
    I wanted to duplicate this but here with parents and the general public. So, this year we will be adding two Executive Director’s Message meetings – one in Palm Beach County and one at the IRSC campus in Port St. Lucie for the public. These meetings – open to all with an interest in autism – will provide an opportunity for anyone to provide information, A New Year suggestions, praise or complaints to FAU CARD leadership. Look for these to be posted on the website shortly. Greetings, and welcome back for a new school year. This time of year re-sets the calendar for many of us as Best wishes for a great new school year. children return to school and summer starts to wind down. Regards, Summer 2017 has been a busy one for FAU CARD. We had a fantastic Summer Academy for teachers at our Jupiter Campus. Dr. Debra Leach spoke about bringing behavior techniques to inclusive settings and Dr. Lee Jack Scott Wilkerson spoke about anxiety issues for people on the spectrum. A special thanks to the many teachers and Executive Director related service providers who attended. This event is held prior to school opening and these people come on their own time to learn new and effective ways to help children on the spectrum learn. This fall has one of the best line-ups of ASD events we have ever offered. On November 4, we have the College Connecting Conference, a one-day event to help adolescents prepare for college and to help persons with ASD now in college or other post-secondary programs do even better.

  • Effective Teaching Strategies for Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder And
    Lybarger-Monson 1 Kara Lybarger-Monson English Professor, Moorpark College Sabbatical Report, Fall 2017 [email protected] Effective Teaching Strategies for Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Introduction The topic of my research is best practices for teaching students with Attention- Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder and Autism Spectrum Disorder in the college classroom environment. The goal of this document is to provide current and future faculty with the best practices in teaching students with an emphasis on reading, writing, and critical thinking skills in an effort to highlight the importance of accessibility and equity for these students. I interviewed five learning disabilities specialists and several Learning Skills instructors at Ventura College, Oxnard College, and Moorpark College. I also discussed best practices with English professors, attended several conferences, and read many books and articles devoted to the subject. Prior to the sabbatical, I took a course on learning disabilities, which included content about ADHD and ASD and another course through Lynda.com titled “How to Make Accessible Learning.” All of these resources have led me to the conclusion that the best practices to teach students with these disorders is multi-faceted: • Instructors may use effective instruction strategies, address different learning styles, and increase their general understanding of what these disorders are to assist this population of students. Lybarger-Monson 2 • With compassionate understanding, we can assist these students to ensure their success, increase their completion rates to promote equity, and raise the awareness of the importance of neurodiversity in the college classroom. • ADHD and ASD occurs in all races, ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds, and sexual orientations.

ACHIEVEMENT PROFILES AND GROWTH TRAJECTORIES 2 Abstract This study examined the reading and math achievement profiles and longitudinal growth trajectories of a nationally representative sample of children ages 6 through 9 with an ASD. Four distinct achievement profiles were identified: higher-achieving (39%), hyperlexia (9%), hypercalculia (20%), and lower-achieving (32%). Children with hypercalculia and lower- achieving profiles were more likely to be from low socioeconomic families and had lower functional cognitive skills than the higher-achieving profile. All four profiles lost ground in passage comprehension over time. Slower improvement occurred for the higher-achieving group on letter-word identification, the hyperlexia group on conversation abilities, and the hypercalculia group on calculation and functional cognitive skills relative to the lower-achieving group.

  • The Multiple Realities of Autism in Practice EMILY HADDOCK Ed.Doc
    What is autism really? The multiple realities of autism in practice EMILY HADDOCK Ed.Doc 2020 1 What is autism really? The multiple realities of autism in practice EMILY CATHRYN HADDOCK A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of Manchester Metropolitan University for the degree of Doctor of Education Department of Education Manchester Metropolitan University 2020 2 Dedication I dedicate this thesis to my parents; my mother, who inspired me to enter the field of education in the first place and gave me the confidence to speak up, stick to my guns, assert myself when I needed to, demand respect, and stay true to my values; my father, who made me believe that whatever decisions I make or risks I take I will always be supported, protected and loved; my friends, who support me, distract me, laugh and cry with me; and my brother and best friend, who ensures, that no matter what I achieve, I can never take myself too seriously; and finally, to the children who have inspired and enhanced my life. The greatest of those thanks has to go to Alan and his family who first started me on my career in autism and whose family I have the pleasure of continuing to call my friends. 3 Abstract This thesis aims to examine how we can involve autistics in research, policy making and as active participants in decisions which impact their lives. It will consider the reality of the condition of autism and how this is presented through a range of facets: medically, academically, and educationally; specifically focusing on the diametric portrayal of autism as beatified gods and a demonised disability.
