Q&A with Annie Lehmann, Author of the Accidental Teacher: Life
The Accidental Teacher: Life Lessons from My Silent Son Annie Lehmann http://www.press.umich.edu/titleDetailDesc.do?id=1403971 The University of Michigan Press, 2009 Q&A with Annie Lehmann, author of The Accidental Teacher: Life Lessons from My Silent Son Having severe autism does not stop Annie Lehmann’s son Jonah from teaching her some of life’s most valuable lessons. The Accidental Teacher, a heartfelt memoir about self-discovery rather than illness, uses insight and humor to weave a tale rich with kitchen-table wisdom. It explains the realities of life with a largely nonverbal son and explores the frustrations and triumphs of the Lehmann family as Jonah grew into a young adult. Annie Lehmann, a freelance writer for more than twenty-five years, has published articles in many newspapers and magazines, including the New York Times and Detroit Free Press. She joins us now to talk about her book The Accidental Teacher. The University of Michigan Press: Your son Jonah has autism. For those people who aren’t familiar with the condition, what does that mean, on a day to day basis? What are his symptoms? Annie Lehmann: Autism is a neurobiological disorder that affects a person's ability to communicate and relate to others. How autism impacts an individual however, varies widely so that one person with autism might attend college and live independently while another, with the same diagnosis, might be nonverbal and require 24/7 supervision. When Jonah was diagnosed, autism was still a rarity with an occurrence rate of 15 in 10,000. -
Child Development Knowledge and Human Factors in Toy Design: An
CHILD DEVELOPMENT KNOWLEDGE AND HUMAN FACTORS IN TOY DESIGN: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY OF POPULAR CHILDREN'S PRODUCTS by Alexandra Lopez July, 2012 Director of Thesis: Sandra Triebenbacher, PhD Major Department: Child Development and Family Relations Play reflects how children understand the world, and it also provides them with opportunities to learn and refine their social, emotional, motor, and problem-solving skills. Before designing a product such as a children's toy, it is important for the engineer to consider all of the tasks that users will be executing with the finished product. From a general human factors perspective, physical and cognitive operations are the primary categories of tasks that are deliberated. The purpose of this study is to assess if child development theory and knowledge informs the design process of those who create children’s products. Patents of toys (n=38) selected to be included in this study were analyzed to see if and how knowledge of child development was incorporated into the development of the product, as well as to evaluate if there have been any changes in the use of child development knowledge in toy design. The results indicated that toy patents in this study did utilize knowledge of child development and demonstrated a significant increase in the utilization of child development knowledge more frequently in contemporary toys, particularly in cognitive learning. Overall, there were strong correlations between the number of evidence pieces within the patent discussing various child development topics, -

An introductory section emphasizes that using switches with toys can provide the child with a sense of empowerment and develop play skills. Topics covered in the guide include: beginning with highly reactive toys, switches and toys, adapting a toy, accommodating the child's interests and abilities, switch characteristics, switch category types, positioning options, switch toy use, switch interfaces, communication recorded message switches, story telling, games for young children, and pretend play. -
