Retrieved [date] from http://www.colorado.edu/journals/cye. Abstract Disasters affect segments of the population in different ways. Although age-based vulnerabilities place children at risk, children may offer unique capacities for bolstering disaster resilience. This paper reviews three initiatives that focus on children and disasters, including a Sesame Workshop-produced video aimed at pre- school children, an American Red Cross initiative that focuses on children in kindergarten through middle school, and a video directed at high school students as part of a student-generated initiative at a Seattle school. The authors use a matrix developed by Anderson and Woodrow (1989) to assess the extent to which these initiatives emphasize youth-based vulnerabilities and capacities with respect to physical/material, social/organizational, and

  • 10 Tips to Help Young Adults with Autism Transition Into the Workforce Linda Mastroianni
    www.autism-mi.org email: [email protected] Autism Society of Michigan 2178 Commons Pky Okemos, MI 48864 517-882-2800 10 Tips to Help Young Adults with Autism Transition into the Workforce Linda Mastroianni For many young adults, the transition from school to employment is often a frightening and intimidating one. Leaving the familiarity of routine behind and beginning a new journey into the unknown is difficult for anyone. For young adults with autism, this experience can be even more terrifying. They face many different challenges than that of their neuro-typical peers. Entering into the workforce is a milestone in one's life; a rite of passage that is often identified as the beginning of their journey into adulthood. But for so many young adults with autism, this transition can be the most difficult and stressful time in their lives. Some reports state that an estimated 500,000 people with autism will enter into the workplace over the next ten years. With so many young adults looking for employment and without sufficient and sustainable job opportunities for them, we are looking at a high percentage of unemployment rates for autistic individuals. In addition to job creation, we must also help prepare them for the moment when they are ready for employment as well as supporting them through the transitional process. Winter 2015 2 Many have excellent job skills that can easily be applied to a number of organizations but first we must find what they enjoy doing, their strengths, their abilities and finding a viable employment environment where they can apply their skills and thrive while doing so.

  • Representations of Diversity in the Children's Educational Television
    Who are the People in your Neighborhood? Representations of Diversity in the Children’s Educational Television Show Sesame Street Veronica Hauad EDUP&L 834 – MON/WED 1:30pm The goal of this lesson is to help students assess the representation of racial and ethnic diversity (or total lack thereof) in media. This specific lesson will address the representation of diversity in the children’s educational television show Sesame Street. Overview More than ever, very young children are watching television. They are watching on the weekends, after school, and sometimes even in the classroom as a means of learning. If television is going to play such an important part in the lives of children, it is imperative that parents and educators highlight the television shows that will be the most beneficial for their children to watch. Ideally television shows geared toward young children would be as educational as possible, both in the traditional school sense as well as culturally educational. Since the show’s inception, the creators of Sesame Street have strived to provide both kinds of education. Sesame Street first aired in 1969. The creators of the show developed Sesame Street with the goal of improving school readiness in urban socioeconomically disadvantaged children. Segments highlighted the introduction of letters of the alphabet, numbers, and shapes and colors. But the show was also designed to promote positive images of diversity. The show’s creators hoped that positive media representations of racial and ethnic minorities would not only boost cultural pride and self-confidence, but they would also enhance awareness and understanding.

    Interviewee: Joan Ganz Cooney Session #3 (video) Interviewer: Sharon Zane New York, New York Date: July 13, 1998 Q: I was looking through the transcript and I thought it would be interesting if you could just talk a little bit about, from your own background what interests and experience led you into the whole field of TV programming. Cooney: Well actually the experience that I had did not point the way because I majored in education in college. I went to Washington right out of college and worked for the State Department as a clerk typist in the foreign student exchange program. I just wanted to see what it was like to live in Washington and work for the Federal Government. I had a friend doing the same thing so we did it together. And then I went out to Phoenix and worked on the local newspaper in order to save enough money to move to New York. When I came to New York I thought I would probably work in print, but of course this great new medium of television was blossoming. The year was late 1953 I came to New York. And so while I interviewed at news organizations, print news, and was offered a job in fact at the New York Times on their women’s page, but I didn’t want to do that, I went to work at RCA and then transferred down to NBC and became a publicist for soap operas which was what I was offered and happy to have. What qualified me was the newspaper work.
