The best poets, to be sure, have something to say, they are artist and philosophers. Langston Hughes; Let America be America Again O, let America be America again--The land that never has been yet-- And yet must be--the land where every man is free. The land that's mine--the poor man's, Indian's, Negro's, ME Now Lateef has been added to Langston Hughes' list of "the land where every man is free." He proclaims it all over this book.

Lateef, you are not forgotten. -- John Peterson, Publisher, Poetic Matrix Press
Book Synopsis Supporting Individuals Who Use Augmentative and Alternative Communication by : Eric J. Sanders
Download or read book Supporting Individuals Who Use Augmentative and Alternative Communication written by Eric J. Sanders and published by Plural Publishing. This book was released on 2022-12-02 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Individuals with complex communication needs who use Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) frequently encounter barriers that limit their ability to achieve their full potential in communication and in life. These barriers include access barriers (limitations in the current capabilities of the AAC user or the communication systems that they use) as well as opportunity barriers (e.g., policy, practice, knowledge/skill, and attitude barriers that extend beyond the AAC user). It is essential to consider both access and opportunity barriers when designing systems and supports for individuals who use AAC. However, often the emphasis of research and practice is on addressing issues related to access barriers with far less attention to opportunity barriers. Supporting Individuals Who Use Augmentative and Alternative Communication: Breaking Down Opportunity Barriers is the first book to focus specifically on practical strategies for breaking down opportunity barriers experienced by individuals who use AAC. The text is divided into four sections, with each section devoted to a frequently encountered opportunity barrier (knowledge/skill, practice, attitude, and policy). Within each section, readers will (a) develop a deeper understanding of the impact of the barrier through the eyes of individuals who use AAC or their families, (b) acquire knowledge based on current research and recommended practices related to addressing the barrier, and (c) learn how professionals have successfully addressed the barrier via case examples from the field. The final chapter provides readers with information (as well as tools and examples) about how to go “beyond the book” and actively address the unique opportunity barriers they encounter. Key Features * Includes in-depth interviews with individuals who use AAC and their families * Identifies evidence-based and promising practices for addressing opportunity barriers * Provides tips, tools, and resources for addressing opportunity barriers * Illustrates successful strategies for addressing opportunity barriers through case examples and step-by-step guidelines for implementation * Includes contributions from professionals in the field who have successfully addressed opportunity barriers in home, school, workplace, and community settings Who Should Read This Book This book is designed to support those who find themselves frustrated by the opportunity barriers experienced by individuals who use AAC and are searching for ways to break down those barriers, including people who rely on AAC, speech-language pathologists, special education teachers, occupational therapists, physical therapists, family members, university students, faculty in higher education, and other professionals in school, healthcare, and community settings.

Book Synopsis Amtrak Starbucks Jazz on the Streets of Richmond by : John Peterson
Download or read book Amtrak Starbucks Jazz on the Streets of Richmond written by John Peterson and published by Kvasir Books. This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. California Interest. "What he has assembled here is a set of poems written in the aftermath of a divorce. I like this book so much that I am almost grateful for the divorce, because without it, I doubt we would have such a window into this gentle soul. Here there is pain, and joy, and something that straddles them, what John at times refers to as 'beauty.' The poetry is disarmingly mature. He's not trying to impress the grownups because he knows he is one of them, and is in fact contending with being among the elderly--quite a shock to those of us who remember dressing in bandanas, discovering the legends of rock music, and marching against war. We were there celebrating youth, and now we are old. Oh well. But as John points out, sublime moments, the kind we think of as 'beautiful' are lost in coarse environments, which is it seems, where John concludes. With several poetic statements about the resurgence of war culture, like our own, John calls us back to our younger halves, the ones that marched oh, say, 50 years ago. Many things of beauty came out of this vortex, in part, perhaps, we were able to be vigilant in opposing it--but not vigilant enough."--Peter Friesen, from the Introduction

Book Synopsis Prenatal Testing and Disability Rights by : Erik Parens
Download or read book Prenatal Testing and Disability Rights written by Erik Parens and published by Georgetown University Press. This book was released on 2000-09-28 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As prenatal tests proliferate, the medical and broader communities perceive that such testing is a logical extension of good prenatal care—it helps parents have healthy babies. But prenatal tests have been criticized by the disability rights community, which contends that advances in science should be directed at improving their lives, not preventing them. Used primarily to decide to abort a fetus that would have been born with mental or physical impairments, prenatal tests arguably reinforce discrimination against and misconceptions about people with disabilities. In these essays, people on both sides of the issue engage in an honest and occasionally painful debate about prenatal testing and selective abortion. The contributors include both people who live with and people who theorize about disabilities, scholars from the social sciences and humanities, medical geneticists, genetic counselors, physicians, and lawyers. Although the essayists don't arrive at a consensus over the disability community's objections to prenatal testing and its consequences, they do offer recommendations for ameliorating some of the problems associated with the practice.

Book Synopsis American Eugenics by : Nancy Ordover
Download or read book American Eugenics written by Nancy Ordover and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traces the history of eugenics ideology in the United States and its ongoing presence in contemporary life. The Nazis may have given eugenics its negative connotations, but the practice--and the "science" that supports it--is still disturbingly alive in America in anti-immigration initiatives, the quest for a "gay gene, " and theories of collective intelligence. Tracing the historical roots and persistence of eugenics in the United States, Nancy Ordover explores the political and cultural climate that has endowed these campaigns with mass appeal and scientific legitimacy. American Eugenics demonstrates how biological theories of race, gender, and sexuality are crucially linked through a concern with regulating the "unfit." These links emerge in Ordover's examination of three separate but ultimately related American eugenics campaigns: early twentieth-century anti-immigration crusades; medical models and interventions imposed on (and sometimes embraced by) lesbians, gays, transgendered people, and bisexuals; and the compulsory sterilization of poor women and women of color. Throughout, her work reveals how constructed notions of race, gender, sexuality, and nation are put to ideological uses and how "faith in science" can undermine progressive social movements, drawing liberals and conservatives alike into eugenics-based discourse and policies.
Book Synopsis Exploring the Poetic Matrix by : John (Poet) Peterson
Download or read book Exploring the Poetic Matrix written by John (Poet) Peterson and published by . This book was released on 2022-02-19 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Religions and all of us discover/rediscover what is a fundamental part of what it means to be human. Sometimes we write it, sometimes we sing it or dance it or paint it. Consciousness, healing, and meditation are found not just in religions but all of us discover/rediscover what is inherently a fundamental part of what it means to be human. Sometimes we write it out, sometimes we sing it or dance it or paint it. Mostly we experience it in the many diverse ways we as humans of all races, genders, education, cultures, individuals and groups have of manifesting it and we pass it along to family and community and to the larger social experience in our lives. Some of us choose poetry as a means of understanding and expression.
Book Synopsis Reasonable People by : Ralph James Savarese
Download or read book Reasonable People written by Ralph James Savarese and published by Other Press, LLC. This book was released on 2021-04-20 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Watch an interview with DJ on CNN Listen to Ralph Savarese's interview on NPR's "The Diane Rehm Show" Visit the book's website: www.reasonable-people.com "Why would someone adopt a badly abused, nonspeaking, six-year-old from foster care?" So the author was asked at the outset of his adoption-as-a-first-resort adventure. Part love story, part political manifesto about "living with conviction in a cynical time," the memoir traces the development of DJ, a boy written off as profoundly retarded and now, six years later, earning all "A's" at a regular school. Neither a typical saga of autism nor simply a challenge to expert opinion, Reasonable People illuminates the belated emergence of a self in language. And it does so using DJ's own words, expressed through the once discredited but now resurgent technique of facilitated communication. In this emotional page-turner, DJ reconnects with the sister from whom he was separated, begins to type independently, and explores his experience of disability, poverty, abandonment, and sexual abuse. "Try to remember my life," he says on his talking computer, and remember he does in the most extraordinarily perceptive and lyrical way. Asking difficult questions about the nature of family, the demise of social obligation, and the meaning of neurological difference, Savarese argues for a reasonable commitment to human possibility and caring.
