Desk and Chair: To accommodate Vanessa’s tall stature it would be beneficial for her to have a work station where she is able to sit comfortably. Vanessa does not fit properly when sitting at a standard size desk. Her tall stature does not allow her to place her legs under a standard size table. She finds herself sitting sideways to the desk, and she has to slouch over when having to write. The ATS is recommending Vanessa is provided with a workstation in her dorm, which will accommodate her tall stature. The ATS is recommending a sit and stand workstation. This will allow Vanessa to adjust the table to the proper height allowing her legs to fit under the desk. She will require a chair which will permit her to adjust to the proper height to the table. …show more content…
Assistive technology solutions were discussed in the areas of reading comprehension, typing skills, note taking, math, time management, and physical
The DDS proposes an adverse onset allowance. A review of the file shows a fully favorable onset is warrented. The prior determination was incorrect and a re-opening is warranted.
Under Arkansas case law pertinent to actual fraud, Is Mr. Sidewinder liable for fraudulent misrepresentation, when (1) the sword which was solicited as authentic turned out to be a replica; (2) the defendant characterized the sword as what he personally believed to be true; (3) the plaintiff was given the opportunity to inspect the sword before the sale was induced; (4) the plaintiff relied on the statements of the seller, believing him to have peculiar knowledge in the field, and purchased the sword before examining it herself; (5) the plaintiff bought the sword for $50,000 when it was only appraised to a value of $1,000?
Every legislative session has hundreds of bills introduced in the Mississippi House and Senate, and although there are some bills with merit, there are many others that are pointless, clueless, frivolous, and even retaliatory. Such a bill is Senate Bill 2006, which seems to be a direct assault on the Mississippi High School Activities Association (MHSAA). To some people that may not be such a big deal, but after reviewing Senator Tommy Gollott’s bill, his bill comes across as little more than another legislative power play.
The specific issues to consider would be how CES broke its ruling by not offering a hearing as it previewed for the school officials to notify the parent before an automatic suspension. The board of CES was supposed to hold a full hearing for the third offense to find out if the student is guilty before expulsion, arrest, incarceration for 30 days or confiscating the student's phone permanently. Congress may transfer the authority to create substantive rules that are compatible and in the scope of its statute. CES had a secluded requirement in the statute that allowed their officials to target principally female students because allegedly females talk on the phones than males. CES did not obtain Congressional delegation to target mostly female
Jordan is an 19 year old female with a medical history significant for learning disabilities and anxiety. The client experiences difficulties in the areas of: focus, concentration, executive functioning, organization, retention, processing, recall and has difficulty with the multi-step process in writing composition and math. She requires the technology listed at the bottom of this report to be successful in school and her future
Name at least three items that could be considered AT and describe how those devices could support a student with a disability in the classroom.
6. Some challenges with assistive technologies are : “Faculty training still does not acknowledge the fact that digital media literacy continues its rise in importance as a key skill in every discipline and profession, the emergence of new scholarly forms of authoring, publishing, and researching outpace sufficient and scalable modes of assessment, too often it is education’s own processes and practices that limit broader uptake of new technologies, the demand for personalized learning is not adequately supported by current technology or practices, new models of education are bringing unprecedented competition to the traditional models of higher education, and most academics are not using new technologies for learning and teaching, nor for organizing their own research,” (Lepi, 2013).
FCC v. AT&T Inc. 562 U.S. 397 (2011) United States Court for Appeal of the Third Circuit.
During a conversation with the client, the ATS discovered that the client is in the dark for long periods of time during the winter months. This is due to her PCA scheduling and the winter solstice. The client had one lamp in her room and she is not able to access this lamp since it too far from her bed. The ATS asked if placing the lamp closer to her bedside would help. The client stated if she were to pace a night stand next to the bed it would interfere with her being able to get in and out of the bed. She also stated there are not many outlets within her apartment and if she could have a lamp near to her, she would not have a way of plugging it in. The client's bedroom has one lamp which is far from the client reach. The ATS and
In this artifact, I researched for alternative technological tool(see Assistive technology.doc) for students with disabilities to represent how technology could be a great assistance for them. This assignment represents how technology could be used by all students no matter what they need. Therefore, in this assignment, I looked for tools and ways to implement access to technology resources for students who have neuromuscular difficulties, and/or difficulties of counting with her finger to show that there are varieties of technological tool for all the needs.
Living and learning with assistive technologies (AT) for disabled people is allowing them to lead virtually normal lives. Assistive technology in action videos I have recently watched introduced me to 3 people who are being assisted by this cutting edge technology.
The use of technology in educating children with special needs has widely grown in the past few decades. Individuals with special needs are unique and all have different areas in which they need assistance. Due to the advancements in assistive technology, computer programs, software, and other technology tools, it has become much easier for people to find useful and easier ways to become educated. Because of this, “technology has changed the way people with disabilities live, work, and learn.” (Winzer,98)
The use of technology in educating children with special needs has widely grown in the past few decades, and has since has changed the way people with disabilities live, work, and learn” (Winzer, 2002, p. 98). Individuals with special needs are unique and all have different areas in which they need assistance. Due to the advancements in assistive technology, computer programs, software, and other technology tools, have helped people to find useful and easier ways to become educated.
Technology has become increasingly important over the years by making everyday life easier and more convenient. According to Dailymail.com, “the average adult is awake for fifteen hours and forty-five minutes every day and forty-five percent of that time is spent using a proliferation of technology (Thomas, 2010).” Although some individuals may disagree, technology has accelerated the business world in the last century. Instead of writing a letter and waiting days for a response, people are now able to communicate in a matter of minutes through email. The traditional way of writing notes in the clinical setting is now also being converted to technology. Due to the rising trend of technological use in clinical settings, it is now ideal for universities with occupational therapy assistant programs to include use of electronic documentation in the classroom. The lack of technology interferes with note taking in the classroom, which in turn, interferes with the clinical setting.
