In higher education systems, equal importance must be given to
differently abled students. However, not all educational
institutions have infrastructure and facilities to admit these
students even though accessibility and support for these students
is growing. There are many schemes, facilities, services, and
financial assistance available to these students along with new
assistive technologies that are making teaching and learning
processes more effective. While using new technologies in education
systems such as e-learning and blended learning, these students
need special attention as well as some advanced training and
additional features in the technology itself that better help them
become familiar with it. Understanding the demands and requirements
of differently abled students is the best way to provide them with
quality education. Assistive Technologies for Differently Abled
Students explores how to implement effective assistive technologies
and other related services for providing differently abled students
an education that is high quality and equal to their peers,
enabling them to go on and excel in their field and obtain
employment. Topics that are highlighted within this book include an
overview for the different types of diverse assistive technologies
for all types of students including students with visual
impairments, learning disabilities, physical challenges, and more.
This book is ideal for school administrators, researchers of higher
educational institutes, non-governmental organizations, assistive
technology experts, IT professionals, social workers, inservice and
preservice teachers, teacher educators, practitioners, researchers,
academicians, and students looking for information on the types of
assistive technologies being employed in education for all types of
differently abled students.
This beautifully illustrated and sensitively written storybook and
professional guide set has been created to help preschool children
understand about domestic abuse and coercive control. Luna Little
Legs: Luna loves playing with her friends at kitten club, but at
home things are different. One terrible night, Luna overhears a
domestic abuse incident and, when her own name is mentioned, she
wonders if it might be her fault. With a comforting rhyming
structure and age-appropriate tone, three alternative endings allow
the story to be personalised to the experiences of the individual
child. Helping Young Children Understand About Domestic Abuse and
Coercive Control: This supporting guidebook presents professionals
with comprehensive information regarding domestic abuse and
coercive control and its impact on young children. With
page-by-page notes to support the reading of the story and
practical activities to help broach the topic in a non-threatening
way, it puts the adult in a position to have important and informed
interactions with young children. Broaching a challenging topic in
a sensitive way, this is an essential tool for early years
practitioners, as well as professionals working with children and
families who are experiencing, or have experienced, domestic abuse
and coercive control.
Young people with behavioural, emotional and social difficulties
(BESD - sometimes called 'SEBD' or 'EBD') need effective and
consistent support, yet providing this can be highly stressful and
demanding for the practitioners involved. Complete with practical
intervention strategies based on research, theory and practice,
this comprehensive handbook provides practitioners with the
information and tools they need to deal with BESD in a way that is
of benefit to them as well as to the children they work with. The
book begins by expanding the reader's general understanding of BESD
in children. The authors examine the underlying causes, explore
what can be learned from past experience, and discuss
research-based theory. They then offer a range of interventions and
therapies for use in and out of school, and encourage practitioners
to develop skills such as engaging with parents, identifying
special educational needs and setting constructive boundaries.
Finally, the needs of practitioners themselves are addressed. The
authors advise on how to collaborate productively with other
professions and stress the importance of supporting colleagues and
developing the personal resilience needed to cope in difficult
circumstances. Wide-ranging, accessible and current, this guide
will be an invaluable resource for the professional development of
teachers and other practitioners working with young people with
BESD/SEBD in educational settings.
The BASICS College Curriculum presents a hands-on approach to
learning essential independence and life skills for students with
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The third book helps young adults
to translate their strengths and interests into possible careers
and develop job-hunting skills that will set them on the road to
success. Students are shown how to identify their unique skill set,
write an effective resume, build a network of contacts, prepare for
interviews, and secure that internship position. Other possible
life paths are also explored including continuing in education and
studying abroad. Ideal as a textbook for ASD college programs and
suitable for young adults to use for their own self-study, each
chapter has a lesson-based progressive structure, providing
valuable information and advice for the student, useful diagrams,
practical exercises and workbook components that can be filled in
at home or in class. Self-assessment tools ensure the skills from
each chapter can be reviewed and adjusted as necessary. The book
can be used on its own or in conjunction with the other BASICS
curriculum books to further develop essential life skills.
