Specific language impairment

there are many stages of vision at which perception can become impaired. Cortical (or cerebral) visual impairment (CVI) refers to any impairment or loss of vision brought about by damage to the brain or the central nervous system, rather than physical problems with the eye itself (ocular impairment); therefore, children and other individuals with CVI do not appear to have any cause for visual impairment when examined physically (Palmer, 2003). Historically, CVI has also been referred to…

(304), and vanishing community (309), and a growing multihandicapped community (310). Within this book, four major topics were presented. These being: that Deaf culture meets the criteria to be defined as a definite culture; that ASL is a legitimate language; that the Deaf have a major impact on art and literature; and that the Deaf culture is vastly…

Population Assignment 1. The population I selected is children who are deaf. 2. a. It can be very difficult to distinguish the origin of a child’s hearing loss. One reason is if there were difficulties during the pregnancy or birthing process. For instance, if the mother contracted a severe illness like German measles it could influence the baby’s hearing. If the mother consumes a certain kind of medicine, such as ototoxic drugs, it can transfer into the womb and negatively affect the baby’s…

Students will complete a seminar ticket prior to entering the classroom for the seminar. The seminar ticket consists of 3 questions that students need to answer based on the text and I will be checking off the tickets as students are arriving into the class. This ticket lets me know that the students read the text prior to entering the classroom and has some recollection of the question they have about the text and their own opinions and values on the text itself. The ticket also lets me know as…

Before the modern forms of media were invented, misrepresentations of disabled people existed in countless amounts of works of literature. Although the ableism in television and film is incredibly prevalent today- it is built off of the hundreds of years of creative work that depicts people with physical, mental, and cognitive disabilities as an object used to produce certain emotions from audience. It is a common practice to tell a person offended by this ableism to not read, watch, or listen…

Many colleges and universities do not know what to do with a hearing impaired students because they are not aware of their needs. When a student with a hearing impairment comes to their school, it seems to be a new concept to them, the administration must learn what that student’s needs. When students have a cochlear that connects to their brain, a hearing aid that is an ear piece Students start to wonder what is in there, ear and will ask them about it. Some students ask reasonable questions;…

Imagine growing up having a disability, but people don’t know the whole story behind it. There was this girl, and she became deaf as a baby. She was carried in her mom’s stomach while she had chicken pox. The mother then gave her child Pneumothorax in both lungs, when she was eight years old. The baby had to go through a severe process in the hospital for fifty nine days straight. The process included having chest tubes in the lungs, and medicine to paralyze her body, so she could not breathe…

On September 6, 2016 I attended the Leaders in Family Education (LIFE) professional student organization meeting. The meeting was located in Matthews Hall 311, there we were told about the main goals of LIFE, how to join, and how we would benefit from participating in this organization. We also enjoyed a presentation on hearing loss vs. deafness lead by representatives from the Speech and Hearing Sciences program at UNT. I found out about this opportunity through my classes and thought that it…

They did not make a good argument regarding other ways music can harm health. The journals did not mention any other specific ways that music can harm health other than hearing impairment, which makes the argument weaker. They provided evidence and a case study that supported their chosen side of the argument. The main problem with the journal research of Fleming is the research that proved people’s…

Deaf Culture. Deafness. ASL. Deaf People. All those thing catch my attention. People think that ASL is not a language and that deaf people don 't have a culture. Many people see Deaf people as “special ed or dummies” when they don’t know anything about them or their world. I have learned a lot about deafness and the culture it has. Deafness is always intriguing to me, it always catches my attention. I don 't know what it is about deafness and ASL but I love it. I 've always wanted to learn ASL…
