...Discuss the role of pictures in the learning of speech or language skills among learners with a disability of your choice. What do you see as a limitation in the use of pictures in the learning of speech or language skills among learners in the classroom. Pictures and/or visual aid are and an important and commonly used method or technique used in the teaching of learners with communication disabilities especisally in the subgroup of speech and language skills. Most children with special educational needs tend to experiance difficulties and/or delays in the acquisition of these skills.One such group of learners with special educational needs affected are the individuals with Autism spectrum disorder. Autism is a pervasive developmental disorder which is characterized by impairments in communication and social interaction, and restricted, repetitive and stereotypic patterns of behaviour, interests, and activities (American Psychiatric Association (APA), 1994). It is a complex neurological disorder that affects the functioning of the brain. Often referred to as a spectrum disorder,meaning that the symptoms can be present in a variety of combinations, and can range from mild to severe, it usually affects multiple abilities while others remain in the norm (Bristol et al., 1996; Minshew, Sheeney, and Bauman, 1997) Expanding the communication skills of students with autism spectrum disorders is one of the greatest challenges for teachers and families. Most people are unaware of...

...Relationship Visual Aids Donald N. Fink HSN/544 July 27, 2015 Kevin Hite Relationship Visual Aids An education process is more complex than talking to someone, telling them what you want them to learn about or learn how to do, and them knowing it or doing it. The purpose of education is to teach the learner a specific task, or specific information. An education plan consists of specific components. The components are simple or complex and each component leads to the next. When all the components are included, the teacher and the learner will have a successful educational experience. Purpose The purpose or mission of the education is based upon the mission of the organization or institution in which the education is taking place. In a hospital setting, the educational purpose or mission is to assist the hospital staff in becoming the most knowledgeable staff to care for the patients in the organization. At Select Hospital, the mission is to become a premiere long-term acute care hospital. The purpose of the education department of the hospital is to respond to the educational needs of the employees while meeting the challenges of the organization and the health care environment. Goals The goal in a program, course, or learning activity is a general statement and it describes what is going to be accomplished. The goal describes a general learning outcomes and concepts and it is expressed in common terms. The goals provide a foundation for the objectives and they provide...

...Anacely Ledezma Mgmt 3330.003 April 19, 2010 Assignment #5 Visual Aids are extremely important when they help an audience understand a presentation or speech more clearly. Audiences vary in regards to their ability to capture ideas and thus with visual aids could be presented the opportunity to further comprehend a concept. Most audiences also include a mix of different types of learners. As a presenter, it is crucial to make sure that the presentation given targets each type of learner whether visual, kinesthetic, or auditory. When a presentation includes visual aids it captures the attention of those visual learners and thus gives another portion of the audience to comprehend what is being spoken to auditory learners and the personal stories given to kinesthetic. Each presenter might have a different way to provide a visual aid for an audience. Whiteboards would be key for large rooms, such as lectures. They could be used to present notes, charts, graphs, and tables. The presenter could use those to best display statistics and other important data to large groups. If the notes, charts, graphs, and tables required changes those could be easily added/erased to provide the new relevant information to the audience. They could also be used throughout a long presentation as a reference point if multiple discussions involved them. Another type of visual aid that could be beneficial would be a handout. A presenter could easily type a synopsis of the discussion ahead...

...mind that pose the greatest danger to teens: AIDS and Genital warts. Genital warts can ruin a person’s social life and so can AIDS but AIDS can also kill. Unfortunately, STD’s have become common among teens to an alarming rate. With two thirds of the STD infected population being under the age of 25, high school and college students must learn the dangers and effects of Sexually Transmitted Diseases. STD’s are terrible and no one should experience such discomfort. Re-arranged As I mentioned earlier, STD’s stands for sexually transmitted diseases. They are infectious diseases in which they spread from person to person through intimate (sexual) contact. As many already know, the most common and most famous is the Human Immunodeficiency Virus, better known as HIV; it cause s the Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). The sole purpose of HIV is attacking the immune system and killing the natural protection against diseases, leaving the person vulnerable to any infection or diseases. What always intrigues me is how the HIV generated? Could it be a virus that we already have, and it activates in a certain way? One day, I will find an answer to these questions someday along with a cure. In Japan a school organizes two awareness rallies about Sexually Transmitted Diseases. Speakers then describe the dangers of STD’s and the different way of preventing them. The play follows so emphasize what the speakers said but more in a visual sense. Then at the end of these rallies, they...

...Conspiracy of AIDS Thousands of conspiracy theories are tossed about everyday making outrageous claims about something not fully understood by the theories creators. On subject in particular that has been the subject to many of these often ridiculous accusations are ones about AIDS. Today, most people believe that HIV and AIDS originated in Africa. However, the reality is that no one really knows where the AIDS virus originated. Due to numerous counts of cases and other important factors of AIDS, there are many different possibilities that have been proposed regarding the derivation of the disease. For instance, the conspiracy theory that was first introduced to the people of the world was that AIDS was contracted by a monkey bite. But now we know it is impossible. Some people say that it wasn’t nature that created AIDS: it was the U.S Government. According to this conspiracy theory, the U.S Government made AIDS in effort to rule out homosexuals and black people because these two minority groups are two of the most disliked minority groups in America. Though the conspiracy theory, known as the AIDS/bio warfare theory, proposes some suspicious and persuasive arguments, there is no possible way that the U.S Government created HIV. First of all, it is important to know what HIV and AIDS are. The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) causes acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) HIV is a virus that attacks the immune system. It is a Lentivirus, which means “slow virus” because...

...breaks down. A virus called the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) causes AIDS. HIV specifically targets key components of the cellular immune system and depletes the body’s ability to fight infection. In medical terminology HIV is a retrovirus this means it can copy its genetic material RNA into DNA using a unique enzyme called reverse transcriptase. Normally, living organisms make RNA out of DNA but in retroviruses such as HIV, the step is in reverse that is it makes DNA out of RNA. HIV inserts its DNA copies into the DNA of the cells of the immune system, turning them into HIV factories and preventing them from protecting the body. HIV is also a highly variable virus which hides in other parts of the body such as the lymphatic system and establishes strongholds beyond the reach of the immune system or drugs. When a person is first infected by HIV there is a burst of activity as the virus multiplies. The immune system attempts to battle it by making antibodies. During this period, the viral load (the number of virus particles the body is carrying) is high and the infected person is highly infectious. But a person’s HIV status can not be detected at this stage by conducting tests because sufficient antibodies have yet to be formed. This is commonly called the window period and lasts from several weeks to about three months. It may take five years to ten years for an HIV positive to develop AIDS. An infected person usually experiences an episode of illness at the...

...My major focus and point of discussion for my report is Cytomegalovirus (CMV). I chose this Contagious Disease because it hits very close to home. This disease is also linked to other members of the herpes virus family that cause chickenpox, infectious mononucleosis, fever blisters (herpes simplex type I) and genital herpes (herpes simplex type II). Like other herpes viruses, CMV infection can become dormant for a while and may reactivate later. The virus is carried by people and is not associated with food, water or animals. The high numbers of multiple people infected with Cytomegalovirus is about 50-80 percent at some time during their lives. In my report I will focus on key pints such as: • What is Cytomegalovirus (CMV)? • How is CMV spread? • What are the symptoms of CMV infection? • How long can a person carry CMV? • How it’s diagnosed and what treatments are available? • Precaution and Prevention of CMV. In a recent article that was brought to my attention by a colleague referencing Cytomegalovirus; it goes on to explain that CMV is associated with cardiovascular diseases, in line with risk factors such as hypertension and atherosclerosis. Several viral infections are linked to hypertension, including human herpes virus 8 (HHV-8) and HIV-1. By focusing on this subject, I hope to convey to my audience the importance of this topic and also the severity in immune-compromised and pregnant patients. Key Points: • What is Cytomegalovirus (CMV)? Cytomegalovirus...

...hand the teaching is more applicable to those who will listen. The teacher will discuss with the students briefly what the lesson will be about and will benchmark the students' level of knowledge on the subject. Then will expose the students to the lesson's objectives (Lewis, 2015). It is also important to identify the type of learners that will adapt to the lesson. To understand adult learners it was imperative to understand the different learning domains and styles and understand how and why adults learn. The domains of learning can be categorized as cognitive domain (knowledge), psychomotor domain (skills) and affective domain (attitudes) (Sincero, 2011). The primary learning styles are visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. The teacher made a pamphlet with information on STDs for the visual learners. For the auditory learners the teacher will engage the ladies in a discussion regarding STDs by giving examples and true stories. The last style is kinesthetic learning, this is where the student learns by...

...FTVS 598: TAKE HOME FINAL ESSAY. By Vivek Nipani 1. In Ridley Scott’s Alien (1979) what qualities does Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) project or possess that make her seem so tough? How or where does her femininity figure in her toughness? According to Sherrie A. Inness in “Lady Killers, Tough Enough?” what are two ways that Hollywood cinema undermines and punishes tough or powerful women? How is this twice demonstrated in Elizabeth (Shekhar Kapur,1998)? And how does Elizabeth I (Cate Blanchett) re-assess her gender to secure lasting power? Finally, in what way can she be considered according to Inness’s formulation, “pseudo-tough?” It is interesting to note that women in Hollywood are not considered tough even when they play characters that can break and haunt a male protagonist in the film. Sherrie A. Inness in her chapter, “Women warriors and wonder women in popular culture,” mentions that, all women in Hollywood are not as tough as they seem. They repeatedly show the tough and masculine killer nature is nothing but all women or feminine underneath. They are made and designed to be desirable by men, even if they are found in the middle of an intense battle, they show no signs of breaking a sweat, with their beautiful hair flowing in high speed shots and are lithe stylistically to make them look like an Amazon warrior with a ton of sexuality. I found this analogy true and very interesting as we were shown the clip from the Ridley Scot film, Alien...
