...What I found interesting about this interview, is that the parent was explaining to her sons that I was doing a research paper on their disability of their sight, and that I was going to ask them some questions, the oldest son said that he did not have a disability. Another detail that I found interesting is that, the parent said that even though the teachers are aware of her oldest son’s lack of vision, and there was legal documentation some general education teachers were not sensitive to her son’s inability to see, and the teachers would thing that they were just being lazy. I also found it interesting is that she not perceive that anything was abnormal with both her sons’ sight before they attended pre-school, and that she believed that it was part of her sons’ personalities and was putative of them....

Pediatric Nursing would be awesome to fulfill as a career because it can provide lifelong experiences and the feeling of caring and helping one’s child/children forever. Who wouldn’t enjoy that?

...Career Research Paper I have designed this assignment as a step by step guide to walk my students through the research process. Of course, you may adjust it as you feel is necessary according to the level of students you are working with. This project explains in detail everything they need to research, as well as, giving them real world insight into what to expect in a career in terms of education, job duties and responsibilities and income. I begin by having them take a reality check quiz on the Jump Start Coalition website. This little quiz helps them determine how much money they will need to earn in order to live the lifestyle they would like to have. This income amount in turn helps open their eyes to the type of job necessary to achieve that income and what amount of education is involved. It was a real wake up call for many of my students. In this package I have also included a grading rubric for the project and a list of possible career choices for their assignment. Student Instructions You will be writing a research paper on a career chosen from the attached list. Think carefully about which career you chose to research.

...think about college, and that it is too far down the line to think about. The truth is it is never too early to think about your future. I, like many people, put little thought into my future career and now am lost in an unfortunate mix of indecision and anxiety. Not knowing where you want to be in the future is a hard burden to bear. Many of us tend to find out that we only know what we do not want, not what we actually do want. Do we want to be poor? Absolutely not. Do we want a boring job? Of course we don’t. We all want our nice big house, white picket fence, and dog in the backyard. We also want to be happy. These next few paths are ways I might be able to achieve both. I have many different possible interests when it comes to my future. I hope to attend a four year college, and after graduation attend graduate school. Having gone to small schools my entire life, I prefer a small school. I am looking for a school with a tuition under $30,000, but would not rule out schools that aren’t significantly over my budget. I am open to the thoughts of leaving home, yet I am not sure I would survive on my own. None of preferences are set in stone and I am willing to try and consider new possibilities. When it comes to careers and majors, I have considered becoming a pediatrician, orthodontist, pharmacist, or being an english major. After researching all of my options, I became even more interested in pharmacy. A pharmacist helps in the treatment of disease. They advise...

...discipline that asks and answers the fundamental question, why do we behave the way we do and think the way we think?. The best way to characterize the different approaches that are taken to answer the question of psychology is to identify them as major perspectives. The major perspectives represent fundamental assumptions that underlie the research questions and methods that are used in order to answer the questions of psychology. Most all perspectives define psychology as the discipline interested in studying human behavior and mental processes, but that covers a lot of ground and the causes of behavior and mental processes are not always clear. Why People Behave the Way They Do There are many areas of psychology. The field of human development is divided into different theory groups. The groups that will be discussed in this paper are psychodynamic, biological, cognitive, and behavioral. Each theory group has many contributing theorists, all with different views, beliefs, research methods, and life experiences. All theories are valuable in the field of psychology, however some theories may prove to be more helpful than others, in specific careers. The psychodynamic theory of human development’s main focus is personality and social development. It is based on the belief that the mind is divided into two parts, the conscious and the unconscious. The theorist’s believe that development occurs in stages, for one to develop a healthy and positive personality or identity all stages...

...1. Tablets help students learn more material faster. Technology-based instruction can reduce the time students take to reach a learning objective by 30-80%, according to the US Department of Education and studies by the National Training and Simulation Association. 2. 81% of K-12 teachers believe that "tablets enrich classroom education." The survey of technology in the classroom by the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) also concluded that 77% of teachers found technology to "increase student motivation to learn." 3. Tablets can hold hundreds of textbooks on one device, plus homework, quizzes, and other files, eliminating the need for physical storage of books and classroom materials. The average tablet contains anywhere from 8 to 64 gigabytes (GB) of storage space. On the Amazon Kindle Fire, for instance, 1,000 books take up one GB of space. 4. E-textbooks on tablets cost on average 50-60% less than print textbooks. According to a 2012 report from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), K-12 school districts spend more than $8 billion per year on textbooks. E-textbooks can save schools between $250-$1,000 per student per year. Tablet prices also continue to drop, making them increasingly affordable.

...INTRODUCTION I choose situation A in which I am to advice Jenny my niece about the choices of her future. She wants to be a doctor and I will conduct the economic analysis of the choice she made. To make the decision, I read “Fewer Physicians Move, a Sign of Career Caution” Hubbard( 2013) which is about a survey published by New York Times about 253,000 medical offices. The SK& A conducts a research on around 664,000 physicians on the move rate of doctors and it publishes the reports to be used by pharmaceutical and medical equipment organizations. According to the report, in 2008, the move rate was 18.2%, 15% in 2009, and 12.4% in 2010. This shows a steady decline in the subsequent years. The decline in moving rate and low retirement rate is ascertained to be due to financial stress, the unfavorable medical environment and the rigid licensure laws among others. OVERVIEW The potential competitors to physician’s career in the healthcare industry are dentists, nurse practitioners, and pharmacists among others. However there are no substitutes for physicians services. The potential competitors to the doctors are the insurers because they determine which doctors the patients choose from. Physicians operate in a monopolistic market because they are the only sellers of medical services. Nurse practitioners cannot even offer the same services the doctors do offer. There are no substitutes to the services offered by physicians. Physicians have strong bargaining position. The...

...portion of the research for parents who are expecting a child with Tay Sachs Disease was noted to be during an approximate 30 year span from the mid-1950’s to the early-mid 1980’s, thus older citings will be noted. “Tay-Sachs parents say that their child dies three times—when the disease is diagnosed, when the child enters the hospital, and the final time.” (Atwater, 1964) “How do you parent without a net, without a future, knowing that you will lose your child, bit by torturous bit?” (Rapp, 2011) Will it be a boy or a girl? What color will the eyes, the hair be? Whose smile will the baby have? These are just a few of the many questions that begin when parents find out they have conceived a child, and most of the time the questions only grow as the pregnancy progresses too; what will they want to be when they grow up? Who will they look like? Will they be strong, graceful, independent, or determined? Should we look at preschools and colleges now? It may not seem to occur very often that parents will say to themselves; we never thought about how we might parent a child without a future. Now instead of questions that may focus on the future, the focus is questions for the present and seeking answers; how much time will I have with my child? How do I handle the problems and pain? Why is my child being punished before they are even born? What did I do wrong? Why won’t anyone tell me how to fix this? In some situations, such as the case study for this paper, these questions...

...Literature Review on Autism Wilfredo Garcia Table of Contents Abstract 3 Autism 4 Videogames and young people with Developmental disorders 10 Funding of Applied Behavior Analysis 11 Executive function in individuals with sub threshold Autism traits 12 Conclusion 14 References 15 Abstract The increasing number of individuals with Learning Disabilities (LD) and psychiatric disorders presents a key challenge to their assessment and treatment in mental health services. Children and young people with LD are more likely to experience mental health than the general population (Allington-Smith, 2006). There is a close relationship between autism spectrum disorder and learning disability. Epidemiological studies suggest that autism is more frequent in people with LD, nearly 40% of people with LD also have autism on the other hand, and nearly 70% of people with autism also have LD (La Mafa, 2004). The strong association between autism and LD (Bradley, 2004) also associates an increased risk of mental health problems. It is suggested that adults with LD and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may experience symptoms of anxiety at a greater level than the general population; however, this requires more conclusive evidence in relation to the prevalence of anxiety disorders in adults with LD and autism. ...

...Health Care Reform for Children Valerie L. Briner HCAD 620 Professor Schutz Abstract Advancing toward universal health care has the possibility to improve access to care and better the health and wellbeing of uninsured children. This paper will discuss children and what medical coverage they may have and how healthcare reform should help get almost all children some type of healthcare. Currently, if a child is not covered under private insurance, Medicaid and CHIP can assist in covering the vulnerable groups, mostly because they are likely to be poor, belong to racial or ethnic minority groups or who have chronic health care problems. While both public and private insurance fail in meeting the needs of children, public coverage has been more persuasive than private coverage at providing managed health care to low-income children. Ideally health care reform could cause certain steps to promote the emotional, cognitive, and physical health of children, enable them to maximize their full potential. Such a focus would create application to such policy changes that could define solutions for failures in the current system and decrease discrepancy in access, quality, and outcomes. Healthcare Reform for Children The plan is set in place to overhaul the nation’s health care system. The goals of the health care reform proposals include moving the nation toward universal coverage, improving quality of care, and slowing the rate of...
