Covered 12 Washington St. topics included: a Midi System, demonstrated and defined by Natick Ma. Accordion Connection’s own John Leeman on an AccTone electronic (508) 655-0669 accordion with Limex system; Accordion Repair Demo (Professional Upcoming Meetings: work and self-repair items that can be done in an emergency); and Quality levels Sept 23 of accordions, amp options. Arthur also had a state of the art tuning system and October 28 not only demonstrated how an accordion is tuned, but also assisted members in Nov\Dec TBD evaluating their accordions and making some spot-tuning adjustments, if necessary. Due to time constraints, Arthur could not cover all subjects but the handout booklet provided was an excellent supplemental reference for those that attended. The Limex (pronounced Lee-mex, not Li-mex) Midi demonstration given by John Leeman (Accordion Connection technician, Midi and microphone specialist) was done using the Accordion Connection's new line of Acctone accordions. Arthur took the time and defined the treble and bass reeds of an accordion and the importance of their tuning in producing the sounds of the accordion. He also explained the concept of why accordions use wood as an amplifier\resonator for the reeds in producing sound (demonstration example of a music box playing while held and the magnification of the sounds when placed on a wooden surface).

With one picture, the first one sees it as spots on a giraffe. The second one sees it as eyes and a nose when you turn it around at 90 degrees. The third one sees it as a close-up of Swiss cheese. The fourth one sees it as two balloons playing catch. It all depends on how you look at it. The four LeVars look at a couple more eye riddles. Many people see many things in different ways. Besides having a unique way of seeing things, people's other senses are unique too. LeVar loves coming Arthurs Eyes the farmer's bazaar because he gets surrounded by all kinds of sights, smells, and textures. He challenges the viewers' eyes at seeing Arthurs Eyes of certain fruits and vegetables. The things the viewers see are viewed through a special camera lens. Some people use special lenses to see things, especially when they can't see well. LeVar explains, "I wear glasses, and sometimes I wear contact lenses. A different color blindness, unlike with your eyes, has something to do with your mind. It has nothing to do with what you see, but how you see it. LeVar has a flipbook he made himself. The picture changes each time you turn a page. Flipping the pages faster looks like a moving film.

    Experience and Attitudes of Teachers Towards Stuttering Intervention

    Experience and Attitudes of Teachers Towards Stuttering Intervention, Education, and Resources Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Nikki Jade Placencia, M.A. Department of Education: Physical Activity and Educational Services The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Antoinette Miranda, Ph.D., Advisor Rebecca McCauley, Ph.D. Laurice Joseph, Ph.D. i Copyright by Nikki Jade Placencia 2014 ii Abstract Past research has indicated that teachers play a vital role in supporting the educational development of children who stutter (CWS). Teachers’ attitudes and beliefs regarding stuttering have been shown to influence CWS performance in the classroom. Therefore, teachers need to be appropriately trained and equipped to best serve CWS. Very few studies have focused on teacher training and interest in information regarding stuttering. This current study was designed to support and further the findings of Jenkins’ (2010) study in the hopes of better supporting the interest and needs of teachers to better support CWS. Both studies explored teachers a.) Training in stuttering; b.) Interest in receiving training or information related to stuttering; c.) Awareness of stuttering resources; and d.) Preferred delivery method of stuttering information. Participants included 215 primary and secondary teachers from a large Midwestern school district who completed an on online survey regarding attitudes towards stuttering training and resources. Consistent with Jenkins’ (2010) findings, results indicated teachers had limited to no prior training regarding stuttering; however, the vast majority of teachers expressed interest in receiving stuttering training and resources, with the preferred method for delivery or training being direct contact with speech and language pathologists.
