The podcast was an interview with Christy Oslund and her book “Supporting College and University Students with Invisible Disabilities: A Guide for Faculty and Staff Working with Students with Autism, ADHD, Anxiety and Mental Illness.” It was an eye opener for me because the new innovative ideas for student struggles, transitioning, and those students that have never needed help. I found it interesting that Christy started writing a pamphlet and had so much information it became a book. She has a good perception of her work and discovering her disabilities later in life. There’s a great deal of struggles that the ASD student should deal with mentioned in the interview (e.g. food smells, noises, sharing bathrooms and rooms.) I had never
The podcast Serial, hosted by Sarah Koenig and co founded by Julie Snyder, deals with a murder case that occurred in the year 1999. This murder case deals with two former students (Adnan Syed and Hae Min Lee) that attended Woodlawn High School in Baltimore, Maryland. Hae went missing on January 13, 1999 but was found dead in Leakin Park on February 9. The jury that took up the trial were convinced to believe that the murder must to have been committed by Adnan Syed, “who killed 18 year old student Hae Min Lee.” Syed was arrested on February 28 and charged with first degree murder. Although he pleaded guilty after the judge declared a mistrial, he was found guilty of murdering Hae Min Lee and sentenced for life in prison. However, the lack of
Seane Corn’s podcast was two-fold: educational and invigorating. Hearing her talk about her journey to happiness is a true testimonial to naysayers who are having doubts about the positive effects of yoga. Corn’s journey to happiness, as she conveyed, was not an easy one. She had to clamber her way from an unsettled place as a child growing up in unstable home. She explained how her blue-collar working class parents raised her in an environment where religious practices were not present and how, as a little girl, she thought of herself as “uneducated.” She abused drugs and the tender age of 19 was diagnosed with “Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.” She even suffered from an anxiety disorder but these dark episodes of her life eventually led to healing and happiness once she discovered yoga.

Reading this book greatly affected the way I will interact with children with disabilities and their families. My current field placement is teaching art at a Middle School. Each class consists of students from 6th, 7th, and 8th grade, as well as students with special needs including giftedness. My cooperating teacher has taught me a great deal about differentiating lessons. Torey Hayden has showed me that it is not enough to differentiate lessons or plan adaptations for our students with exceptionalities. We truly have to look at them as a complete human being, and acknowledge the strengths and weaknesses of every student in our classroom. Because of this book, I have not been afraid to speak with Mark* who has downs syndrome, or Alicia who has a cognitive impairment and hearing problems. I have tried to get to know my students with exceptionalities as well as all of my students as individuals, and understand their backgrounds. In the future I will continue to treat each student as a unique person and get to know them and their families before passing judgment.
I loved the way the article handled the situation it did not come on to strong about the whole situation nor too weak. It was well organized with key points and facts about the kids and the different types disabilities. The children that were “regular” kids came across just as bad in a sense. This article was very persuasive, it had me thinking back to my old school (Chase). Chase was not a bad school; it is just a school off in the country. At Chase, we had a class called Project Unify (PU). PU was a class specifically for kids with disabilities and the students would have their own separate classrooms. On many occasions, some of the PU students would come into other classes and be okay; however, once something did not go their way, they would act out by yelling, crying, or just being a distraction.
I really enjoyed this interview. I think it is amazing that Alice is taking such good care of her sister. I am sure that have a very special bond. When I am older I want to be a special education teacher, people with disabilities have always had a special place in my heart. I can not believe that Alice's sister in law wants to put Suzie in a home instead of taking care of her and giving her everything that she deserves to have. I am glad that you learned to never judge someone, especially that is in a situation you do not know or understand much about.
I feel excited and accomplished. In the podcast it mentions that in western culture we associate understanding something immediately with being smart, and personally, this is very true. When I understand something immediately I feel very smart and I feel as if I am excelling with the concept at hand, and in all honesty I also feel as if I am above those in the course who may not fully understand.
Viewing the slideshow with all of her kids in it really touched me the most. She has an exceptionally beautiful little girl and she was very much a part of the family. She went swimming with the family and went on trips with her family. It is very nice to see that she has four loving siblings to help her throughout her life. Kellen looked very happy in all of her photos and her siblings did as well. Listening to this story definitely made me feel different about people with disabilities and we should not be judgmental at all. My best friend Natalie has a brother who is autistic. It is very different with my friend Natalie because her brother does not hang out with the family as much, he doesn’t take a ton of pictures with them, and it appears
As everyone else mentioned, hearing the podcast really changed but yet helped my point of view on the topics of consumer surplus, demand curve, and overall seeing an economists perspective. Uber not only has a constant changing advantage and disadvantage with supply and demand but the market of consumers and businesses are constantly changing from the use of technology. Uber revolves itself around consumer surplus, wanting more customers who are willing to pay their price but thinking about other competitive businesses like Lyft or regular taxis, consumer surplus could be a huge problem for both parties depending on place and time. Steve Levitt himself mentions that he takes a taxi in New York City because it is more convenient. Now, lets say
I then continued with the initial interview by identifying Jude’s previous knowledge and experience. We both discussed this and It has enabled me to ascertain what She knew and teach accordingly( Knowles, Holton , and Swanson.,2005,p.40) . Jude has no disability (NMC, 2006). I also gave Jude the opportunity to
The Serial podcast, hosted by Sarah Koenig, is about the murder of young Woodlawn High School student Hae Min Lee. Hae was a smart, ambitious, and outgoing young lady taken from this world too soon. Sarah Koenig and the podcast takes us through the ins and outs of typical and unusual teenager behavior to try and uncover something unseen in this case. Adnan Syed, the now convicted murder, and Jay Wilds, the state’s only witness, are the key people of this story. I believe Adnan’s innocence should be maintained because Jay’s story should not have been used for evidence, there was not enough evidence to even arrest Adnan, and Adnan had a trustworthy alibi.
I really benefited from this interview and project in general because I felt that overall it helped me know about acldonderposa and her life in general. One of my favorite lines in the as I stated before entire interview is when Courtney said “When you ask who Courtney Nelson is you don’t say oh she is a dwarf, I am such more than that. My disability does not define me.” I never had seen the point of Courtney advocating examples for herself as strong during this interview.
One of the things that stuck out to me is number eight about sounds. I find it interesting that loud sounds can hurt an autistic child’s ears. All these loud noises that we hear daily just don’t bother us. I could not imagine having to go through something like that. I think it is important that teachers pay attention to what sounds are bothering a child and to address it. I think recording the sound on a tape recorder and gradually exposing the child to higher sound levels is a good idea.
Carnes I feel as though I have a better understanding of dealing with the school system from the parent’s point of view. I think doing this interview can help me to be more prepared if a child with disabilities is present in my classroom. This is actually the cause of the high point of the interview because Ms. Carnes had a surprised tone when hearing my questions because of the dedication the educational system is putting into preparing the new generation of teachers to be fully aware of any situation we may face with a student with disabilities. I feel a sense of pride knowing I can be knowledgeable in any situation may face with these special cases in the classroom. On the other hand, I was surprised by the amount of patience she has as a parent with a child with cerebral palsy. From her answers in the interview she has to face challenges parents with the average child do nor. I gave me a deep respect to the parents who face these challenges such as making sure their child receives the proper education they need. Lastly, after completion of the interview, I feel slightly more nervous about going into the teaching field. I know teaching these students I want to make sure
Another reason why I think this movie is such a great, inspirational movie is because of how a woman with autism can accomplish something so inspiring that shows people with autism shouldn’t be viewed as someone who can’t do much or someone who doesn’t have the skills and knowledge to do what normal people can. Temple Grandin has probably made a big difference in what people think of ones who have autism and I think that is great. Just because a person has autism doesn’t necessarily mean that people don’t have autism should view them as someone lower than themselves. People with autism are only stronger-willed and even though they may have difficulty with life, Temple Grandin shows that it doesn’t matter if you have autism or not because you can achieve your goals, you just need that determination in your life. From this movie, I have learned that no matter how small other people may think of you, you have the
