    Six parents participated in two semi-structured interviews about their child who has autism and has been using a Speech Generating Device (SGD) one year or longer. This webinar will focus on current research related to autism and SGDs, superordinate themes that emerged within the study, and possible/practical implications for practitioners. The presenter will explore the five themes that emerged through the interview process: the complexity of speech generating devices, tension between structure and play, interplay between requesting and social interaction, the fluctuating role of the parent advocate, and building a diverse support network. This qualitative dissertation expands the work of a pilot study.

    What:
    Families in Partnership Inc. is gearing up for the 6th annual Families in Partnership Early Childhood Fair (formerly The Prenatal to Five Fair). We are looking for community resources who might want to participate by entering to have a table with information and children's activities. The theme for the fair is "Plant a seed and watch it grow." The idea of the early childhood fair is to provide community resources, in one location, at one time, at no cost. The fair is met to be fun, but informational and connect young families to needed community resources. A few of the many opportunities available at the fair are a kids zumba class (MAC), Libby Fire Department puppet show, Frontier Communications kids fingerprint kits, Quasadillas by Rosita's, face painting and more. There are no fees for having a table at the fair, but we require that you do not sell anything at your table; rather, offer free information and children's activities. When:
    Saturday, April 28, 2012 Contact:
    Call Karen at 293-6242 or email at karenm1993@yahoo.com for more information and to sign up to have a table.

shared by Roger Holt on 04 Feb 13 - No Cached
  • I became a typical father in 1979.  It was a dream come true—those magical first smiles, first steps, first words. Then in 1981, my son stopped talking, stopped playing normally, and began flapping his arms.  From those first red flags of autism until now, I have not stopped experiencing autism and the family—the central theme of my life and work—counseling, teaching, and writing about the impact of autism on families.

EveryBody: An Artifact History of Disability in America - 0 views

disability history

shared by Roger Holt on 02 Jul 13 - No Cached
  • Many stories and events related to people with disabilities never make it into the history books or shared public memories. Familiar concepts and events such as citizenship, work, and wars become more complicated, challenge our assumptions about what counts as history, and transform our connection with each other when viewed from the historical perspective of people with disabilities, America’s largest minority. Knowing these histories deepens understanding of the American experience and reveals how complicated history really is. In addition, when history comes through artifacts, distinct themes emerge—for example, the significance of place, relationships, and technology—that are less apparent when only books and words are used.
