Teaching to Every Kid's Potential: Simple Neuroscience Lessons To Liberate Learners

by Layne Kalbfleisch MED, PhD

“Teachers hold the potential to provide a student with frustration or opportunity every day—and those states are closer together than you might think.” When students repeatedly lose track of directions or take a long time to solve problems, it’s easy for teachers to see the distracted or off-task behavior, but not always to see the root of the problem. Quite often the same child who has an underdeveloped skill may have an opposing but hidden strength: a slow processor of information may also be a deep thinker. Teaching to Every Kid’s Potential is an invitation to teachers to improve the learning in their classrooms, one student at a time, using practical, evidence-based strategies. Focusing on four big concepts from neuroscience—flexibility, readiness, connection, and masking—the author shows how to apply them to build on the strengths of students. Each chapter unpacks the science; shows how talents can compensate for neural processing issues and suggests small but powerful adjustments to classroom practice that can allow kids’ gifts to emerge.

Teaching Visually Impaired Children

by Virginia E. Bishop

In this exceptional new third edition, the author has retained much of the practical how to approach of the previous editions, but adds depth in two dimensions: learning theory and the educational process. This book is so comprehensive in scope and complete in detail that it would be the most likely one I could recommend (from the foreword by Dr. Natalie C. Barraga). There is a new chapter on the prenatal and early postnatal development of the visual system, and another entire chapter on gifted children who are also visually impaired information not usually available in other textbooks. One of the most outstanding new sections is a discussion of brain function and its relationships to early development, learning, and visual function. The reader will find practical hints, philosophical rationale explained in simple terms and clear descriptions of the assessment process for students with visual impairments. The relationships between assessments, placements, and programming are described in detail, and provide rationale for best educational practice for visually impaired learners. University faculty, special teachers (TVIs), regular classroom teachers, and families will all find something useful in this new edition. It continues to be a valuable reference for anyone dedicated to helping students with visual impairments achieve independence and realize their full potential. The appendices contain a set of listening games, touch typing lessons, a list of indicators for evaluating gifted programs, lists of assessment instruments and resources, and an updated timeline of major events in the history of education for visually impaired students. A glossary of terms completes the book.

Team Interpreting

by Jack Hoza

This book is about how interpreters work together in teams. Much has been written about the process by which an interpreter determines equivalent meaning in the target language, and how interpreters manage their work and make important professional, ethical, and meaning-based decisions. Although team interpreting is commonplace in interpreting assignments that are lengthy, complex, or particularly challenging, little study has been made of this important feature of the interpreting profession. Teaming has the potential to enrich the interpretation, provide additional support for the interpreters, and enable participants in the interpreted interaction to better achieve their goals. This book represents the first major published volume that addresses team interpreting.

Techniques of Hearing: History, Theory and Practices

by Michael Schillmeier, Robert Stock, and Beate Ochsner

Hearing, health and technologies are entangled in multi-faceted ways. The edited volume addresses this complex relationship by arguing that modern hearing was and is increasingly linked to and mediated by technological innovations. By providing a set of original interdisciplinary investigations that sheds new light on the history, theory and practices of hearing techniques, it is able to explore the heterogeneous entanglements of sound, hearing practices, technologies and health issues. As the first book to bring together historians, scholars from media studies, social sciences, cultural studies, acoustics and neuroscientists, the volume discusses modern technologies and their decisive impact on how ‘normal’ hearing, enhanced and smart hearing as well as hearing impairment have been configured. It brings both new insights into the histories of hearing technologies as well as allowing us to better understand how enabling hearing technologies have currently been unfolding an increasingly hybrid ecology engaging smart hearing devices and offering stress-free hearing and acoustic wellbeing in novel auditory environments. The volume will be of interest to all scholars and students of disability studies, sound studies, sociology of health and illness, medical history, health and society as well as those interested in the practices and techniques of self-monitored and smart hearing.

Técnicas de terapia del habla con tartamudez: Cómo recuperar la voz de la tartamudez

by Dave McAllen A. N. Okonoboh.

¿Es posible dejar de tartamudear en 10 días? ¿Cuál es el sueño más importante de tu vida? Como tartamudo, no quieres que yo ni nadie más simpaticemos cuando hablas. En nuestro libro TÉCNICAS DE TERAPIA DEL TRATAMIENTO DEL HABLA, lo tenemos en mente. Sabemos que cómo dejar de tartamudear es una cuestión que enfría a las comunidades tartamudeantes de todo el mundo. De hecho, nos damos cuenta de que en los grupos que tartamudean, a los enfermos se les dice que no se preocupen más por la recuperación, que tal esfuerzo es más devastador que el impedimento del habla en sí. Bueno, nuestra introducción a este libro de trabajo tiene historias muy inspiradoras para ayudar a disipar sus miedos. Ahora le daremos una idea general de las características de las TÉCNICAS DE TERAPIA DEL TRATAMIENTO DEL HABLA que hace que funcione tan rápido para la recuperación de la tartamudez. En primer lugar, este libro se basa en un estudio de años de verdaderos vencedores que tartamudean. Entonces, los contenidos no son teorías de laboratorio intelectual. Por eso funciona para personas reales. La clave central es la CONCIENCIA que corre como hilo conductor a través de los capítulos. En torno a esto, construimos otros elementos que son dignos de reconocimiento en sus roles positivos o negativos en nuestros discursos. Por ejemplo, el control de la respiración, la respiración desde el pecho o desde los pulmones, el arte de hablar, lidiar con obstáculos comunes, cómo usar sus esquemas de habla, etc. En la sección El arte de hablar, abordamos todos los problemas de patología del habla y el lenguaje, SLP, terapia cognitivo-conductual, alivio de la ansiedad, autocuración del tartamudeo, así como la pregunta de quién me ayudará a encontrar mi voz. La misma sección sigue replicando su efectividad en el desafío de la enseñanza del habla, terapia para niños, incluso para casos graves como aquellos que piensan que su situación está más allá d

Ten Fingers for God: The Complete Biography of Dr. Paul Brand

by Dorothy C. Wilson

Ten Fingers for God describes the extraordinary servanthood--the life of Dr. Paul Brand, a medical doctor, whose life and work have been a blessing to countless thousands of leprosy victims on five continents. Through surgeries (over 3,000 in India alone), the pioneering research he has conducted and inspired, and his empathy for the poor and forsaken. Dr. Brand has achieved fame in the medical world. Dr. Brand's professional life has centered on perhaps the most problematic aspect of creation, the existence of pain. His conviction that the function of pain in the human body is a disguised blessing to the human race. He felt that "God designed the human body so that it is able to survive because of pain. As a surgeon, teacher, and environmentalist. Dr. Brand 'has chosen the middle way of balancing the material and the mystical, the prophetic and the pragmatic. His spirit of self-sacrifice and humility can best be distilled by his sureness that "it is a pity that a man has only one life to spend, one pair of feet, two hands, ten fingers! Paul Brand is an adventure loving, highly spiritual surgeon who discovers his life's calling is to improve the hands and feet of people with leprosy worldwide. He developed techniques for returning functionality to disfigured, numb hands and feet and goes on to establish centers where patients receive protective shoes and learn skills to become employable. Paul both teaches others in many countries to help in his mission and learns from other doctors, scientists and rehabilitation specialists. In his travels and impassioned, informative speeches he raises awareness of this disease which is only contagious for a brief time and inspires people to pool their resources to improve care for a population ending their generations old fate of being shunned, ostracized and forced to beg for their survival.
