To seek a communication solution for these children, this study explored the possibil- ity that discernable biomechanical patterns, related to preference, exist amid HKM. We deployed a unified approach to analyse a Augmentative and Alternative Communication child’s movements, fusing caregiver and clinician observations with quantitative data (accelerations of the upper extremities). Two case studies were examined. In both, the accelerometer data identified preference at adjusted accuracies statistically above chance using a linear discriminant classifier. Visually, communicative movement patterns were identified in the first child (κ = 0.25-0.27) 10.3109/07434618.2011.614640 but not in the second child (κ = 0.03-0.11). Implications of this study include possible enhancement in communication and inde- pendence for these children. 2011 Keywords: Communication; Accelerometer; Observational analysis; Hyperkinetic movement; Paediatric 3 Introduction 150 Children with cerebral palsy commonly have a Hyperkinetic movement (HKM) is an excess of uncon- discrepancy between their expressive and receptive lan- For personal use only. trolled movement.

  • This Is an Important Picture
    November, 2019 issue #135 This is an Important Picture Last month we ran a story about a box of 1952 photographs brought into the DSHS by Hank Goodrich of Cisco Grove. Virtually all of the 200 pictures are from the winter of 1952. In amongst the pictures there were a couple that do not fit the collection's theme. Here, above is one, with the center enlarged in the inset to the right. In January of 1931 the Auburn Ski Club invited the State legislature to Cisco Grove for a skiing competition. Then the Club publicized the event and the legislature's acceptance of the invitation. A monumental traffic jam resulted as four thousand cars and their occupants arrived also. That convinced the legislature that winter sports in sunny California were important and they voted to keep Highway 40 clear in winter. Here we have a picture dated 1931-32 of the highway being cleared that first winter. ©Donner Summit Historical Society November, 2019 issue 135 page 1 Story Locations in this Issue Norden Store pg 8 Sugar Bowl pg 10 car crash pg 11 plane crash pg 9 car crash pg 9 picture page 1 tunnel pg 19 bridge pg 11 from California Highways and Public Works January-February, 1952 editor: Bill Oudegeest 209-606-6859 [email protected] Unless otherwise noted, the photographs and other historical ephemera in The Heirloom's pages come from the Norm Sayler collection at the Donner Summit Proofread by Pat Malberg, Lake Mary, Donner Summit Historical Society page 2 ©Donner Summit Historical Society November, 2019 issue 135 Snow Removal - 1952 Snow removal is tough on Donner Summit.

He has commented on royal matters on television and radio since 1973 and worked as historical adviser on a number of films. He is the author of books on the Queen Mother, the Duchess of Windsor, Princess Andrew of Greece (Prince Philip’s mother) and Queen Mary all of whom are featured in the popular Netflix show, The Crown. Since November 2016, Peter Morgan has presented millions of viewers with the first 3 seasons of The Crown, positioned as an accurate, dramatized portrayal of the life and reign of Queen Elizabeth II. Now, in THE CROWN DISSECTED, Vickers separates fact from fiction in all 3 seasons of the series. Episode-by-episode analysis dissects the plots, characterization and historical detail in each storyline. Vickers tells us what really happened and what certainly did not happen. It’s a must-read for fans of the show, and proves that more than a little artistic license has gone into the making of The Crown.
