My clinic client that I observe has his therapy session on Tuesdays at 10:15. He is around 3 years old and originally had the diagnosis of language delay. His diagnosis has changed from that to developmental articulation disorder and expressive language disorder. One thing that surprised me was that most of the activities during the therapy session are the client is just playing and then the clinician tries to get him to produce words and utterances. One specific experience that I remember was…

organizations, specific classes, sports teams, and even a group of fans for a musician. Within these discourse communities, each has their own specific basis of what good writing is and what form of communication is most often used. Each community has its own jargon and knowledge that is essential for the success of that specific community. Written text allows for the analysis of many discourse communities, including the accounting department of a Not-for-Profit organization, such as Conflict…

Booked Graduation The objects that helped me go through school are books. Books fill your mind with ideas. They teach you the alphabet, teach you colors and meanings. Those are just the beginner books. For more advanced characters, some books can teach the meaning of matter and atoms, and teach how to measure volume and area. But the books I am most interested in are biographies. Biographies teach us about the natural world, teach us what plants to not even touch and what plants are safe…

Numerous clients in my area of expertise have low health literacy skills. A specific example observed was when an unconscious patient that being transferred to the intensive care unit needed the spouse to make her medical decisions. While obtaining the patient’s medical history from the spouse, it was evident the spouse lacked any medical knowledge. Numerous health questions were directed at the spouse and the main response given by the spouse was, “I don’t know.” For example, when asking…

of masculinity. This issue, only intensified after Richie Incognito’s bullying of Martin, reveals the true nature of ‘manliness’ in sports. With this in mind, Fagan is right; the language of sports imposes what masculinity is and isn’t. The very jargon that is present in sports suggests to athletes that they must handle things “like a man”, that they must “grow up”.
