Arthur explains Blindness

This is the Episode of Arthur that features a girl with Blindness. This show is great at explaining how we are all different and learn in different ways. That is what makes us all beautiful. Great Episode my niece loved it. ENJOY!

Including Samuel

This is a great documentary about a child with cerebral palsy. This is just a short preview but it gives you an idea of what it's like in the life of someone with it.

TBI

I have seen first hand how TBI can affect a person. My  best friend played soccer here at EKU until last year, when she got a serious concussions. She got kicked in the head during a practice and can never play soccer again. It's been over a year and she still has severe headaches, even when she is on medication. It's crazy to think that something like a soccer injury can change your life around.

Language Project

I love the way children think, I was working on my language project and reading over what they were saying, and it is just so cute.

Tonight's Class

I really enjoyed the way we broke up into group to learn the content for tonight's lesson, it got us up and moving and I really learned a lot. I wish every class was like this! Class went by so fast tonight, thanks Professor White!

Games to help with TBI*

GAMES TO HELP WITH TBI (LINK)

    Hey Y'all! I found this website that has very detailed information about games that help with specific cognitive skills. I found this very helpful and informative when reading about TBI. It is interesting to see what games help with different skills. Check it out!!

Seeking Help after a TBI*

SEEKING HELP AFTER TBI* (LINK)

In class, we talked about how much of an impact a TBI can have on the individual and the family. This website highlights the importance of seeking emotional support immediatly following a TBI event. This website, is linked to a specific rehab place that helps with this specific thing. I thought this was interesting!! Check it out!! :)

INFORMATION ABOUT TBI (LINK)

Hey Guys! Class was really interesting tonight, and I came home and looked up some information on TBI. I found this website that lays it all out in an organized way and makes it easy to find information about it. Check it out!! :)

I saw this video previously in my SED 104 class, and it amazes me that people have such low expectations for people.  If you do not set high expectations, they will be lazy and won't want to do much with their life! If there are high expectations, they will actually learn.  This is an issue that society as a whole needs to work on.

"Out of my Mind" --- GREAT READ!

I recently read "Out of my Mind" for my library science class. I had no idea what it was about but some of my classmates who were a head of me in their reading kept telling me that it was a great book. Well, I finished it last week and it was indeed a great book! It was a story about Melody, a girl who was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy. The book was told in first person, through Melody's eyes. She was completely dependent of her family to care for her, she couldn't talk or walk or sit up by herself. Her story is basically about her struggles in school and the discrimination from students AND teachers.

I'm not going to spoil the book because I will encourage everyone to read this book if you're going into Special Education!

Interesting!

I have really enjoyed the past few classes, where we talked about the deaf and blind communities. I find this stuff very interesting!!

The end of Thanksgiving break :(

I hope everyone had a great holiday! I can't believe the Fall semester is nearly done!

Flamingo

Thought this was cute. And kind of went along with our lang projects. At least mine, when I sometimes don't know what in the world she's saying to me! Haha
