Sara is a 75 year old who was born in Waldo and currently lives in Skowhegan. She is a widow with no children and two cats. She lives in a one story apartment building, with four rooms. She also enjoys going to church and helping out at the end with refreshments. I observed her cooking chicken and vegetable soup. She used pre-chopped vegetables so it made the meal preparation easier, with less steps. If she hadn’t already had pre-chopped vegetables I may have suggested this as an adaptation to the activity. Due to her deficits in motor planning she had a hard time keeping up with the correct sequencing from the beginning to the end of the task/activity. Shortening the steps made cooking more efficient, allowing her to be successful in the activity. The activity takes about 30-40 minutes for her to complete without assistance. …show more content…
She didn’t have any difficulties with the vegetables but I would have like to have seen her cutting them herself so that I would be able to assess how her fine motor and visual acuity was functioning. I would have than adapted and graded the activity to fit her after the assessment if needed.
Sara does really well with endurance by pacing herself (energy conservation) throughout the activity. She stated that she does that because she had learned how her balance and walking become effected by rushing. This exhibits that a good amount of cognition is present throughout the activity, because she is able to recognize safety and her physical demands. However with what she stated to be a weakness I would recommend a chair or a place where she could rest if
- She will take a yoga class and meditation to release her stress and fight with the joint pain as well.
She lived in Pennsylvania and worked as an insurance office manager. She got married and gave birth to a daughter who was 97 when Sarah died.
Case 41 – Ali’s Prayer Ethnic diversity is to be expected in Canadian schools. Canada is a destination for many immigrants, given the high quality of life, the relatively tolerant worldviews, and its good reputation as a nation. Because of this, Canadians expect to be raised in an environment that is tolerant and welcoming to people of all races and religions. However, policies based on Western traditions occasionally interfere with the religious freedoms of other cultures, and one such instance is outlined in Case Study 41: Ali’s Prayer. In this case, a schoolteacher (Tereza) went against school policy and the express instructions of the principal (Ms Smith) by allowing a Muslim student (Ali) to continue to make up the work that he missed
Which author or institution is associated with coining the phrase, “the apartheid of schooling in America.”
The method can be seen as an alternative to more extensive trials, which may take place later, prior to a release of a product.
There has been a lot of controversy on whether colleges should be paying the paying their athletes. Brian Frederick, a board member of Sports Fan Coalition and an adjunct professor for Georgetown University’s Sport Industry Management Program, believes colleges have a broken system when it comes to athletes. Frederick’s contemptuous tone discredits sports fan, who believe college athletes already get paid enough with their education, by stating “If a student athlete is hurt or unsuccessful, the coaches and administrators suddenly discard the noble ideals of “education” and a player is left with nothing.” With the use of metaphors and similes, Frederick convinces sport fans to take action and make the calls in order to continue college athletics
This Ethnographic study will focus on what people do and the environment of McConn through out the week. Each time I went it was a different time of day and a different day of the week so that I was able to see different sides of McConn. I did one or two interviews per observation time. I went Saturday the 29th at 7:50-8:20pm, Monday the 31st at 3:30-4pm, Wednesday the 2nd 4:30-5pm, Wednesday the 6th 8-11pm, and. I also tried to move where I sat around so i could get all the different feelings of each space. I included the orange room and the commons along with the main McConn area in my Ethnography because I feel that even though they are different rooms, they are very similar and often when it is said “meet me at McConn” these other rooms are included.
Throughout my life, I have held a special place in my heart for large animals, especially elephants. They have inspired me by the way they care about their communities. Entire families of elephants comfort their young and have specialized burial rituals for those they loved. This kind of friendship and loving nature can only be found in a community inspired by their very own elephant. Tufts University has a beautiful history surrounding their mascot and I simply want to know more, fueled by my passion for research. Tufts offers a community of elephants that compare to no other.
Naturalistic observation involves recording subjects' naturally occurring behavior while they are in their natural environment. This experiment revolves around this type of observation. Specifically, it involves the observation of the various human dyads (male-female, male-male, female-female,) social interaction, within in a public environment. Focal points of observation included conversation space (distance between individuals heads,), and body language.
Our freshman seminar class volunteered and helped fundraise for JDFR which helps fund and research Type 1 Diabetes. Some of us did the walk, and others helped by fundraising at a table. Personally, I sat at the table for three hours and fundraised. Overall, I thought that this was a nice and enjoyable experience.
What a great and entertaining talk. Although, it was really fast, but a talk I could watch several time and still learn. Shawn Achor started off funny, he had the audience laughing throughout the speech which is great and kept the audience listening and wanting to hear more. His organization was great, he kept each topic in order and short but interesting to the audience. I like how Achor listed all the statistics then went into listing what you can do to become more positive. Achor also showed us the graph at the beginning of the speech and said that one dot that was out of place may be you, which I believe is the dot that might bring everyone down, the negative dot within the group.
In order to study human development and perform naturalistic observation I went to the mall. I selected a 9-year-old white girl as the subject for my observation. I observed the subject for 30 minutes. During my observation the subject was not interrupted and was not aware of my study.
Summary of Points: Vaccinations (con) Rebuttal- Contains Harmful Ingredients: • Vaccines contain many harmful ingredients which can cause fatal side effects (Internal system) • Some common ingredients that a common vaccination consists of his aluminum, antibiotics, egg protein, and more. • Most vaccines that we are required to get for example the seasonal flu vaccine contains chicken egg protein which can be harmful to children who are allergic to eggs which can cause harm to their body. • As well as aluminum which is used in some vaccines can cause serious brain defects • For example; Monkey Tissue which is used in the polio vaccine. There have been multiple cases of polio vaccines over the years that revolve around the same time and have proven that
For Mrs. Thompson treatment, I am focusing on her hand mobility and balance while she is reaching for items. To help her increase her capabilities to pick up items, she use the Norco Hand Exerciser to build up her strength in her hand. She also will do the peg board activity in a sitting position to practice on her balance and reaching skills. She will start out with the big pegs and gradually move the activity to a smaller peg board. To work on the balance during reaching, I have the table raised up to Mrs. Thompsons hips where she will do the
Northside Elementary School (N.E.S.) is located in Warner Robins, Georgia, and consists of an array of classes. Observations were conducted at N.E.S., ranging from second to fifth grade. All classes were coed, composed of female and male students. A mix of ethnicity’s, as well as abilities, were observed. Some of the abilities observed were Gifted and Talented students (G.T.E.) and special education. This title I school allows for educators to form their own approaches to education, deciphering which learning theories best fit their classroom and teaching styles. Overall, the environment was welcoming and supported education.
