Each student has their own unique characteristic of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Near-normal language development, although they may develop problems communicating as they get older. Some students may appear to have no impediment grasping the concepts in an academic setting, while becoming extremely anxious when their schedule is changed. On the other hand, another student may face change without incident, while another has difficulty dealing with change.…
Today’s student population can perhaps be summed up in one word: stimulating. The classroom environment is ever-changing the scope of the paradigm in which academic achievement is considered. The special education (SPED) environment is no exception. In accordance with the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 2004 (IDEA), the assumption that resources adequately meet the changes in SPED programs is perhaps more common than not; however, vague disabilities, such as emotional-behavioral disorders (EBDs), are often under-detected due to the fluency of its symptoms. By not having a clear depiction of a student who’s considered EBD, how does the SPED team sufficiently demonstrate capacity to provide transitional and support services?…
One might wonder what is the true definition of a developmental disability. A developmental disability is a cognitive, emotional, or physical impairment, especially one related to abnormal sensory or motor development that appears in infancy or childhood, and involves a failure or delay on progressing through the normal developmental stages. Working in the field of psychology I can peruse my goals and dreams of working with children and adolescents with developmental disabilities as a counseling psychologist. I can begin to make a change in the lives of children and adolescents. To me working towards becoming a counseling psychologist means paving the way buy giving these children and adolescents a voice. I want them to be able to communicate to me all their want, needs, and desires without having their parent or guardian be their voice. In the past I have worked with children, adolescents, and even adults with developmental disabilities and these individuals were never able to express how they really felt. There was someone always they to do it for them. I want to be the one to make a change. And for this reason I have decided…

Fantastic job on this week's infograph! I like your inclusion of the 6 steps of EBP process. One article I found addresses the same steps as you've mentioned, however it also includes Step 0, which is "cultivate a spirit of inquiry" and this is important because without curiosity about best evidence to guide clinical decision making then embracing EBP can be difficult (Melnyk, Overholt, Stillwell & Williamson, 2009). The article mentions examples of questions for nurses to think about relating to spirit of inquiry, such as:…
On 26th August 2009, Lander Unzueta, FC Barcelona’s Chief Marketing Officer (CMO), was sitting in his office with his early morning cup of coffee in front of all the day’s newspapers. The day before, Jorge Valdano, General Manager of FC Barcelona’s archrival, Real Madrid, had declared to the German news agency DPA (Deutsche Presse Agentur): “Each [club] aims to occupy a place in the world from its own particular vision. Barcelona does it by looking from Catalonia inwards, while Real Madrid does it from Spain outwards...” Valdano’s words were on the front page of every Spanish sports newspaper and were also highlighted in the sports sections of all the major general newspapers in Spain. The international media were also echoing Valdano’s opinions. Unzueta knew for sure that this was going to be a hectic day, with journalists calling to get the expected reactions from FC Barcelona representatives. He also knew that it would not be long before different stakeholders jumped into the fray, expressing their views on the issue. But Unzueta also thought it was probably a good excuse to revise FC Barcelona’s global brand strategy.…
