He has worked for Autism Oxford since 2010 presenting speeches and training sessions all around the UK. He has currently released his autobiography through Chipmunka entitled "Living Through The Haze." This book explores the visual differences and difficulties Paul has experienced for over 26 years. For Paul it was a moving moment of clarity and realisation when with the correct lenses he looked outside and said "Oh, the tree has a middle bit " James Billett has worked and taught in the field of special education for 30 years and has used the Irlen method with clients across the spectrum of learning differences since 1991.

When asked, the one thing most people would least want to lose is their vision. Macular Degeneration is particularly frustrating, because it affects the central vision, so that whatever you look at is distorted or even disappears in a black hole... While recent announcements in the news have brought hope to millions that stem cell injections deep into the eye have now been observed to stimulate regeneration of the macula, potentially restoring functional vision to those blinded by this common condition, the methods outlined in detail in this book have stimulated this kind of healing as well, without any invasive procedures. Such results have been observed independently by two different Harvard trained retinal specialists following Dr. Swartwout's patients after they chose to pursue accelerated self healing with his guidance rather than the medically recommended laser surgery for wet macular degeneration, considered the worst type of maculopathy. Whether you are looking for guidance and direction for self-healing, or additional tools as a physician or natural healer, to prevent vision loss and even help improve the chance of restoring sight to the blind, this is the book you need. It is a comprehensive overview of nature's many healing angels that have already proven helpful in healing macular disease.

Cataract Solutions: Prevention & Reversal Via Accelerated Self-Healing is a comprehensive guide to the science and art of healing cataracts naturally, using nutrition, herbs, homeopathy and light therapy. This book has been useful to support successful self-healing, as well as being a useful reference guide for caregivers, healers and holistic physicians. Dr. Swartwout shares three decades of accumulated knowledge, having helped hundreds of people avoid the most common surgery in Medicare. The best news is that when you improve your eye health naturally, not only is vision restored, but years and quality are added to your life. Modern surgery is wonderful, but it does not remove the underlying causes of cataract, which continue to affect the whole body. That is why the average life expectancy after cataract surgery is a mere 5 years. This is not generally thought about or talked about because the focus of our modern medical industry is on heroic intervention, with precious little time spent educating patients about health maintenance and primary disease prevention.

"Carrie Dearborn's no-holds-barred approach to talking about disability wrestles us to the ground from her wheelchair. Surprising, disarming, painful, funny - you'll go through every emotion and reach new understanding as you let go of pre-conceived notions about how to deal with disability, whether you are temporarily abled or not." - Meizhu Lui, Co-Author, The Color of Wealth "Interspersed between the author's accounts of surviving a life-threatening stroke, readers will find useful practical advice for coping with adult onset disability and, more importantly, life outside of the hospital. This book offers sound, practical advice grounded in years of experience from a woman with a terrific sense of humor. The writing is deep enough to be engaging but written in sections brief enough to allow the reader to digest and reflect upon the important concepts presented. While the author claims to have written this book for people who are recovering from similar injuries to her own, their families, and loved ones, I believe it is equally beneficial for health care professionals. Carrie provides important recommendations about interacting with people who are emerging from comas that will help health care professionals understand what is and what is not helpful to their patients. In turn, learning how to provide more sensitive care will reward care providers with that wonderful feeling associated with knowing they have made valuable contributions to someone's health and healing." - Susan Hallenborg Ventura, Director of Clinical Education & Associate Clinical Professor at Northeastern University Topics covered include: Fresh Out of a Coma For Friends and Family Possibilities: Aim High, Start Slow Post-Coma Nightmares and Fresh Losses A Rainbow for the Blues: Why I Like Wheelchairs God's Windows Explained: Dealing with Feelings of Gloom and Doom OK, Feel Good Time: Heroes and Sheroes to Inspire Us Calling All Vegetables: Surpassing Low Expectations Life Threatening Disease Issues A Burden?: Getting Out of the Guilt and Burden Trap How to Almost Die: and Why You Should Stay Alive How to Have Fun in the Hospital Miscellaneous Things Hospital Food: Avoidance Tips How it (Usually) Works: Who's Who in the Hospital Patient's Bill of Rights - My Version What to Anticipate: Small Joys Brain Damage: Journal of my first post-coma year Disability 101: Where to go for Housing, Work and Benefits A Little Street Action Before you go: From Bedsores to Bumpy Roads Survival Tactics You're out Getting Around and other Post-Hospital Challenges State House Nursing Home: Taking Political Action or Making Trouble in My Adopted Home Town Wheelchair Flying: My Favorite Sport The Questions: Q&A with the Author Bibliography Resources

The struggle to survive in today's noisy classrooms is real. The child's poor performance often leads authorities to apply undue pressure on him, frequently concluding that he is lazy or of low intelligence, which is certainly not the case. The child's brain is a complex storage and retrieval organ, which mandates that information be properly received, stored, and organized in order to be retrieved for proper use. The child who processes information normally in the classroom is constantly assigning meaning to what is being said in the classroom. The brain is capable of performing these functions in millisecond as long as there is a built-in attention filtering device that assists him in processing relevant information and filtering out or eliminating that which is not. The child who has processing difficulties is not equipped with the excellent filtering capabilities of the normal processing child. His primary difficulty is that of learning through a defective auditory (hearing) channel. Unlike the normal listener, he cannot make maximum use of what he hears for academic purposes even though his hearing is normal. Something seems to intercept the information between what he hears with the normal ear and its decoding by the brain. He allows in both relevant and irrelevant information all at once. Because of poor storage and retrieval capabilities as well, this results in inadequate receptive expressive and integrative functioning on the part of the child. You may often hear him say to the teacher, "I forget." "What did you say?" "Would you repeat that?" "I don't understand" The Listening Child explains in layman's terms what teaches and what parents need to know out this child's difficulty.

Learning to Listen/Listening to Learn is the first comprehensive work to address the systematic development of skills in listening for and interpreting auditory information for students who are blind or visually impaired. Listening skills are a crucial but often-overlooked area of instruction for children who are visually impaired and may have multiple disabilities, essential to literacy, independent travel, and sensory and cognitive development. Chock full of practical strategies, this volume examines the development of and instruction in learning skills at different ages, from infancy through high school. It also addresses listening skills in orientation and mobility and the needs of children with multiple disabilities, hearing impairment, and learning disabilities, as well as English language learners. Appendixes provide a Listening Skills Continuum chart and a checklist to use in assessment.

Tinnitus is described as the ?perception of noise in the ears or head without there being an outside source.? Tinnitus causes a great deal of anxiety and stress to the sufferer. It can affect people of any age and can take several different forms. The causes of Tinnitus are not widely known and may think that there is no way of managing the condition. This books seeks to explain to the lay person what the condition is, its causes and how it manifests itslelf and how it can be managed. The book also seeks to reassure sufferers that if they seek help they will find there are successful ways in which their Tinnitus may be managed.

Our dream is to create a devotional book that could be used as a tool for those with developmental challenges as well as extraordinary abilities. Our hope is that this book will be of encouragement to draw people closer to God and each other. It is designed in such a way that it can benefit all age groups.

Karen Putz grew up hard of hearing and became deaf as a teen. When her own kids began losing their hearing one by one, she figured she had all the answers. She quickly learned it was a whole other ball game to be a parent of deaf and hard of hearing kids. Karen shares the twists and turns of her journey and the wisdom she's learned along the way.

This inspiring collection of real life stories captures the struggles and successes of nine remarkable deaf adults and parents of deaf children. Each story offers a candid insight into the world of deafness - the highs and lows. Five parents describe their experiences in dealing with the diagnosis and embracing the challenges of raising a deaf child in a hearing world. Five deaf adults describe their own journey with hearing loss and paint an honest picture of the struggles and barriers they have encountered being deaf in a hearing world. Each story illustrates that deaf people can BE, DO and HAVE anything they want in this world and that nothing is impossible. All provide specific strategies they have used to tackle barriers related to early intervention services, education, or issues within the family and community, employment and adulthood. An invaluable resource for families of deaf and hard of hearing children and professionals working in the deafness field.

Seeing Ezra is the soulful, beautifully written memoir of a mother's fierce love for her autistic son, and a poignant examination of what it means to be normal. When Kerry Cohen's son Ezra turns one, a babysitter suggests he may be different, setting her family on a path in which autism dominates their world. As he becomes a toddler and they navigate the often rigid and prescriptive world of therapy, Cohen is unsettled by the evaluations they undergo: At home, Ezra is playfully expressive, sharing profound, touching moments of connection and intimacy with his mother and other family members, but in therapy he is pathologized, prodded to behave in ways that undermine his unique expression of autism. It soon becomes clear that more is at stake than just Ezra's well-being; Cohen and her marriage are suffering as well. Ezra's differentness, and the strain of pursuing varied therapies, takes a toll on the family--Cohen's husband grows depressed and she pursues an affair--all as she tries to help others recognize and embrace Ezra's uniqueness rather than force him to behave outside his comfort level. It isn't until they abandon the expected, prescriptive notions about love, marriage, and individuality that they are able to come back together as two parents who fiercely love their little boy. Powerful and eye-opening, Seeing Ezra is an inspirational chronicle of a mother's struggle to protect her son from a system that seeks to compartmentalize and fix him, and of her journey toward accepting and valuing him for who he is--just as he is.

On the outside, John Parrish is a highly successful doctor, having risen to the top of his field as department head at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital. Inside, however, he was so tortured by the memories of his tour of duty as a marine battlefield doctor in Vietnam that he was unable to live a normal life. In "Autopsy of War," the author delivers an unflinching narrative chronicling his four-decade battle with the unseen enemy in his own mind as he struggled with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Parrish examines his Southern Baptist childhood and the profound influence of his father, a fire and brimstone preacher turned Navy chaplain, while offering a candid assessment of the "God and Country" ethos that leads young men to rush wide-eyed into war. He describes the unimaginable carnage and acts of cruelty he witnessed in Vietnam, experiences that shattered his world view leaving him to retreat from his family upon his return stateside. Living virtually homeless at times, he visited veteran shelters and relived the horrors of war in a series of harrowing flashbacks as he dealt with suicidal thoughts. The author writes honestly and probingly of his episodes of infidelity and battles with sex addiction. Readers follow his steady journey toward recovery and his professional contributions in the field of medicine and technology, as well as a joint program with the Boston Red Sox and Massachusetts General Hospital to aid returning veterans. Perhaps most poignantly, Parrish speaks of his quest to discover the identity of one particular solider in Vietnam he could not save--and whose memory has haunted him ever since.

"Autopsy of War" is a soul searching memoir that is both an intensely personal narrative and a universally relevant trip through the world of war and recovery.
