Ty Hafan provides a lot of support to children with disabilities, one form of support is physiotherapy, a physiotherapist visits the hospice Monday to Friday, this helps children and young people with their general stretches and movements, it also gives parents and carers advice on positioning and movements. The hospice also offers hydrotherapy sessions to children and their family, this takes place in an accessible pool area for all. Hydrotherapy sessions can be beneficial to the children because it will enable them to feel free and can also relieve pain, it can also benefit the parents or carers as it is precious time spent together allowing close skin to skin contact. Ty Hafan provides other therapies which support children with disabilities

The Preemptive dissent is a creative commons documentary that focuses on political policing in the United States of America during the Bush Administration's “War on Terror.” After the events of 9/11, security measures increased by tens of millions of dollars during the meetings of political figures; such as the G20 summit which had Toronto build a five million dollar wall around the meeting place. The security used for these assemblies have been denounced by interest groups and social groups for their use of military tactics. They are examined as being too abrasive while actively silencing protestors and treating them as terrorists at public protests. With the accompaniment of the News Media, and the ability to share almost anything over social

Her body size is perfectly proportional and, her legs are beginning to be longer than her torso. Her appetite is good and some of her favorite foods include meat and fish, mashed potatoes, strawberries, raw red peppers and Pringles. For snack, she also enjoys cheese sticks or a protein bar and can feed herself alone with no assistance, at all times. During lunches Ellington has a balanced diet and always is provided with a sandwich with lots of vegetables, had red peppers a lot and even guacamole, depending the occasion. Ellington has never been afraid to try new foods and during one lesson she tried stone soup consisting of lots of vegetables, and she loved it! Her daily food intake is being met and there is never a surplus amount of junk food in her lunch box. She can use a fork, knife and spoon to eat her food, as observed when she ate during lunches and when she had the stone soup. Each night bedtime is from 7pm to 7am, a healthy amount of 12 hours, which, is the perfect amount of sleep for a busy preschooler. Naps are taken around 2-4 each day; no problems are faced with her sleeping routine. There has been no evidence of fatigue with Ellington. Taking into account the nap she takes about 2 hours each day, the correct amount of sleep has been reached for her age. During elimination words are usually expressed when she needs to do so and, she does not have a problem when going. In the preschool the child may get up and use the restroom without asking to do so and Ellington was no exception to this rule and would go whenever necessary and, there were no accidents throughout the school year. Sometimes she may do a little 'potty dance' but, that was never witnessed by me. After using the restroom Ellington never fails to wash her hands thoroughly, never leaving a drop of foamy soap on her hands. Everyday Ellington picks out her own

He does not like having his hair washed. This therapist provided mom with foam visor to prevent water from going into his eyes and face but AJ pulled it off and would not wear it. AJ will become upset when placed on his back, and he does not like blankets or other items on him when sleeping. This therapist made him a lap pad filled with rice. At times he will carry it around but will not put it on his lap or shoulder. This was intended to provide deep pressure to the large muscles and joints to help decrease sensitivity. This therapist also tried joint compressions which he did not tolerate

I am particularly interested in feeding therapy. Gabriel had texture aversion and a protruding tongue, so I quickly learned feeding him would require guidance and a little creativity. I never found it cumbersome to feed him; instead I looked at it as a new adventure each

My patient was a pleasant eleven year old male who didn’t display any major health disorders besides being slightly overweight. His mother was present during the process and the patient was able to provide reliable information. I did a good job communicating with them both keeping in mind the developmental level of the patient. We discussed several things ranging from his eating habits to his playing

Since the pitchers do not bat, this causes further separation between the two groups, adding even more discontinuity to the situation, highlighting the differences between the two sub-groups. The fact that the field players are divided up into two teams to play against each other but the pitchers are left out makes it almost like there is three teams and that causes competition. This brings as to an idea that Simmel had about groups: “A typical example of multiple group affiliations within a single group is the competition among persons who show their solidarity in other respects” (Simmel. 2006:155). Pitchers belong to the team as a whole but also to their sub-group. The sharp distinction of the pitchers being a “third team” during scrimmages,

“When he was nine months old I approached Dr Andrea Behrman who had some very good success with children with spinal cord injury,” she said. “I didn’t expect a response but she gave me a call… I met with her and we tried to work out a way to get him into an activity-based rehabilitation program."

The “Mosaics: Reading and Writing Essays” textbook includes two essays with differing views on the effectiveness of anti-loitering laws. Richard Willard shares his opinion that anti-loitering laws are effective tools that discourage gang activity in his essay, “Anti-Loitering Laws Can Reduce Gang Violence.” He asserts that alternative methods of punishing gang members only cause them to develop animosity for police that leads to more trouble. Alternatively, “Anti-Loitering Laws Are Ineffective and Biased,” an essay written by David Cole, presents the view that these laws are a form of discrimination. Both authors support their opinions with statistics and previous examples of anti-loitering law enforcement.

find whole "political experience" question is often loaded.  It is a useful and facile way to "settle" a political argument.  When conversing with people who one disagrees with politically, declaring all politicians inherently bad is an easy way to gain "consensus" and be at liberty to criticize any candidate without appearing to disparage the beliefs of the other person.  It is therefore used so often it's become some form of "conventional wisdom".  But it's too simplistic.

Overall our building provides a great solution to Purdue’s net-zero housing incentive. However, our building is limited by its simple and plain design. It would be more attractive it had a more unique shape. We could improve this by making the shape of the building more unique and adding accents to the exterior like many of the residence halls have on campus. It is important that we, as engineers, recognize limitations and trade-offs in our designs so that we can further improve upon them. The net-zero goal is importance because it will save Purdue money in the long run which allows it to better invest in its students’ educations. From this, we learned how to make an unbiased decision using the weight decision matrix, and we learned out to

I actually had the opportunity to take care of this child when she was a little baby. I still follow her story on a Facebook page made just for her. Arnold Chiari is a condition where the brain tissue goes into the spinal canal at birth. It amazed me to see how she much she has grown. She is now talking and walking! I was so excited to see the growth. Although she is still delayed from other children her age, she is still 1000 times better. It also amazed me that she was eating real food! This experience made me realize that God works in mysterious ways. Physically patients with Arnold Chiari has balance and mobility issues, hearing loss, swallowing problems and neck pain. This child had a PEG tub but was able to eat and drink regular food now. Developmentally R.B was obviously delayed she was 6 years old and still wore pull ups. That showed it was some neurological problems going on. Kids with Arnold Chiari also have other developmental delays. She had difficulties with pronunciation and forming full

This is being caused by the Atrial Septal Defect. All he can do is sit unsupported, which he should have been able to do at 8 months. At 11 months old, Ryan should be able to stand upright holding onto an adults hand, as well as feed himself finger foods and drink from a sippy cup. He should be able to pull himself up to a standing position as well. Also, sleeping after eating is just an indication of how much energy it is for him to complete a meal, which is making him uninterested in food overall. Again, all of these factors seem to be affected by his current diagnosis.
