Inside Deaf Culture
by Carol Padden Tom Humphries<P>In this [account] of the changing life of a community, the authors of Deaf in America reveal historical events and forces that have shaped the ways that Deaf people define themselves today. Inside Deaf Culture relates Deaf people's search for a voice of their own, and their proud self-discovery and self description as a flourishing culture. <P>Padden and Humphries show how the nineteenth-century schools for the deaf, with their denigration of sign language and their insistence on oralist teaching, shaped the lives of Deaf people for generations to come. They describe how Deaf culture and art thrived in mid-twentieth-century Deaf clubs and Deaf theater, and they profile controversial contemporary technologies. <P> Most triumphant is the story of the survival of the rich and complex American Sign Language long misunderstood but finally recognized by a hearing world that could not conceive of language in a form other than speech. In a moving conclusion, the authors describe their own very different pathways into the Deaf culture, and reveal the confidence and the anxiety of the people of this tenuous community as it faces the future.
Inside Insight: Worley's Identity Discovery Profile (WIDP)
by John WorleyWho are you? Wouldn't you like to be authentic?&“INSIDE INSIGHT!&” By the time you finish reading this book, YOU will be a NEW PERSON!Most people have no idea what they want. Then again, for that matter, who they are. That is causing a world of hurt.The outcome from Dr. Worley is a ground-breaking psychometric assessment, Worley&’s ID Profile (WIDP). WIDP used with overwhelmingly positive reviews by corporate leaders, HR Departments, clinicians, churches, schools, sports teams, families, and individuals.In this book, Dr. Worley speaks about how he developed WIDP, why it is radically different from other profiling systems, and how you can use it to help align your outer persona and behavior with your inner expectations. WIDP concretely identifies what you "prefer and do not prefer from others.&” This crucial proof will help enhance your quality of life, and "You will see yourself on the pages of your profile.&”Having completed thousands of profiles I ALWAYS get responses like, &“WOW, how can you get this much information from those questions?&” or &“I can&’t believe how accurate this is about me!&” or &“I wish I had this information when I was younger!&” or &“I want to profile my whole family.&”Let&’s say you are one of those individuals that have always felt uncomfortable being around many people and don&’t like to socialize. GUESS WHAT? Most of society is like that! That is why no one talks on elevators or in doctor&’s offices. It just happens to be your unique temperament. It is &“OK&” for you to feel that way because that is who you are so, leave yourself alone and enjoy the recluse life. You are one of those people who live in their head, thinking, creating, dreaming and inventing ideas. Most people go through life not being able to identify with their true inner desires. You are one of a kind, unique person and that makes you very special.Then there is the temperament that has the innate desire always to be leading others, making decisions, and being in control. They are natural-born leaders and, like cream in milk, will always rise to the top of an organization. You are naturally gifted as a leader and have innate ability to lead armies. If you cannot lead where you are, you will move to another position. You will be anxious until you land in a governance spot. Once you find that position, you will be fulfilled.Then there are the peacemakers, servants, and cheerleaders! The peacemakers balance out everyone and maintain harmony. They are great arbitrators and have a comedy streak. The servants are loyal and committed to working until the task is completed. They are proficient and quiet. They are invaluable. The cheerleaders are the socialites who make the world exciting and fun. Without them, life would be boring. We need them, and they want all of us to be open to them and to be their friends. They are very colorful and expressive and, very open in their communications.We&’re different! Appreciate your temperament. You are VERY important!Expect miracles.

Inside Out: The Social Meaning of Mental Retardation
by Seymour B. Sarason Steven J. Taylor Robert Bogdan'We have to assume that the mind is working no matter what it looks like on the outside. We can't just judge by appearance...If you take away the label they are human beings.' Ed MurphyWhat does it mean to be 'mentally retarded'? Professors Bogdan and Taylor have interviewed two experts, 'Ed Murphy' and 'Pattie Burt,' for answers. Ed and Pattie, former inmates of institutions for the retarded, tell us in their own words.Their autobiographies are not always pleasant reading. They describe the physical, mental, and emotional abuses heaped upon them throughout their youth and young adulthood; being spurned, neglected, and ultimately abandoned by family and friends; being labelled and stigmatized by social service professionals armed with tests and preconceptions; being incarcerated and depersonalized by the state.Ed and Pattie survived these experiences--evidence, perhaps, of the indefatigable will of the human spirit to assert its essential humanity--but the wounds they have suffered, and the scars they bear, have not been overcome. They are now contributing, independent, members of society, but the stigma of 'mental retardation' remains.Their stories are both true and representative--powerful indictments of our knowledge of, our thinking about, and our ministrations to, the mentally handicapped. The interviewers argue that Ed and Pattie challenge the very concept of 'mental retardation.' Retardation, they assert, is an 'imaginary disease'; our attempts to 'cure' it are a hoax.Read Ed's and Pattie's accounts and judge for yourself.

Institutional Violence and Disability: Punishing Conditions (Routledge Advances in Disability Studies)
by Kate Rossiter Jen Rinaldi"This was several times with that damn cribbage board. I hate cribbage boards to this very day. They never beat us on the arms or legs or stuff, it was always on the bottom of the feet, I couldn't figure it out." Brian L., Huronia Regional Centre Survivor Over the past two decades, the public has borne witness to ongoing revelations of shocking, intense, and even sadistic forms of violence in spaces meant to provide care. This has been particularly true in institutions designed to care for people with disabilities. In this work, the authors not only describe institutional violence, but work to make sense of how and why institutional violence within care settings is both so pervasive and so profound. Drawing on a wide range of primary data, including oral histories of institutional survivors and staff, ethnographic observation, legal proceedings and archival data, this book asks: What does institutional violence look like in practice and how might it be usefully categorized? How have extreme forms violence and neglect come to be the cultural norm across institutions? What organizational strategies in institutions foster the abdication of personal morality and therefore violence? How is institutional care the crucial "first step" in creating a culture that accepts violence as the norm? This highly interdisciplinary work develops scholarly analysis of the history and importance of institutional violence and, as such, is of particular interest to scholars whose work engages with issues of disability, health care law and policy, violence, incarceration, organizational behaviour, and critical theory.

Instrumental Music for Dyslexics: A Teaching Handbook
by Sheila OglethorpeInstrumental Music for Dyslexics is written mainly for music teachers. It describes dyslexia in layman's terms and explains how the various problems which a dyslexic may have can affect all aspects of learning to play a musical instrument. It alerts the music teacher with a problem pupil to the possibilities of that pupil's having some form of dyslexia. Although Sheila Oglethorpe is primarily a piano teacher the general principle behind most, if not all, the suggestions is such that they can be adapted for use by other instrumentalists. The book presents ways in which the music teacher can contribute to the self esteem and thereby the general welfare of the dyslexic pupil who is often musically gifted and has much to offer. The book will also be of interest to dyslexia specialists who have hitherto directed their concentration towards the language-based problems of the dyslexic.
Instrumentation: An Introduction for Students in the Speech and Hearing Sciences
by T. Newell Decker Thomas D. CarrellWhile keeping the scope and essential thrust of the original book unchanged, this third edition has been updated to reflect the latest technology. For instance, important revisions have been made to a few chapters, while one chapter has been eliminated and replaced with a newer chapter dealing with recent developments in digital and consumer electronics that are relevant to laboratory instrumentation. The authors hope the readers of this text will be more confident with instrumentation and more willing to experiment with it, as well as be able to appreciate the possible ways that electronic instrumentation can be used in their work. The book was written with the undergraduate in speech and hearing sciences uppermost in mind. Instead of detailed information about individual pieces of instrumentation, a more basic and broad descriptive approach has been used. Throughout, examples have been provided regarding how certain pieces of equipment can be used in the clinic or laboratory. One or more step-by-step exercises are included at the end of certain chapters to help students obtain hands-on experience and equipment flowcharts help reinforce the exercise. Students who complete this book will have a basic understanding of the major pieces of instrumentation in the hearing and speech clinic/laboratory.
The Insulin Express: One Backpack, Five Continents, and the Diabetes Diagnosis That Changed Everything
by Oren LiebermannA travel memoir through thirty countries, a thousand insulin injections, and one man’s journey from despair to confidence. With tips and information from the American Diabetes Association.In the middle of a yearlong backpacking trip around the world with his wife, Oren Liebermann is teaching English to young Buddhist monks in Pokhara, Nepal, when his body begins to fail him. He is constantly thirsty and exhausted, and by the time he steps on a scale, he has lost forty-five pounds. At a local clinic, a doctor gives him a diagnosis that will change his life forever: "I’m sorry to tell you, my friend, that you are a diabetic.”Devastated, Liebermann is trapped in a freezing hospital room, trying to recover enough to fly home. His friends and family urge him to call off the rest of his trip. He had quit his job as a TV news reporter for this dream-come-true journey, but the nightmare diagnosis has thrown his world into disarray. However, Liebermann and his wife, Cassie, make a decision. They have an adventure to finish, and he has the rest of his life to live.Bold, raw, and poignantly candid, The Insulin Express tells the story of what happens when the best-made travel plans are subject to the ever-present chaos of life, and how a major setback can turn into the opportunity of a lifetime. Despite struggling with a chronic disease that almost kills him in the Himalayas, Liebermann hikes along the Great Wall of China, conquers the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, and sips cobra whiskey in Laos. What begins as a travel chronicle across thirty countries transforms into a single journey of resilience and self-discovery-going from hopelessly lost and then wonderfully found.
Integrated Access in Live Performance
by Louise Fryer Amelia CavalloTwelve per cent of UK theatregoers have a disability. This compares with 18% of the UK’s adult population. Directors can help build audiences as diverse as the population at large by making their art accessible to all. Live performances are increasingly being made accessible to people with sensory impairments not only to satisfy equality laws and the requirements of funding bodies, but also in the interest of diversity and as a catalyst for creativity. But how do you ensure you don’t throw out the access baby with the artistic bathwater? This book draws on the results of the Integrated Access Inquiry: Is It Working? A qualitative study with 20 theatremakers from around the UK, it was commissioned by Extant Theatre – the UK’s leading company of blind and visually impaired people, and combines feedback from disabled audiences with advice from the creative teams who have experimented with integrating access. It discusses the challenges and opportunities of working with disabled actors and building in audience access even before rehearsals begin. It offers strategies, case studies and a step-by-step guide to help creative people integrate access into their live performance for the benefit of all.
