“My child was fine last week, last month – and now I have lost her. This is not my child; what has happened? What do I do? (Sudden & Severe Onset)” For every parent with a child that has an illness, this seems to be a recurring story. Many parents and specialists are desperate for an explanation that makes sense as to why this a child may be fine one day and a completely different child the next, and unfortunately do not find answers. Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated…

Rap Mile Of many films made about well-known Hip-Hop culture, film 8 mile by Curtis Hanson is showing Eminem and his autobiographical story as one of the most successful. It’s one of the best hip-hop movies and a great example how did artistic talent meets with commercial achievement. It had received an Academy Award for one of the best songs “Lose Yourself” and Eminem was the first who made that happen. The major elements of the film 8 mile are roles of MC and Race as well as their place in…

I found a number of areas in the book where I was furious at the situation and how it was handled. One such occasion was when Brad and his college friends from his dorm went to Steak & Shake (p. 92-96). This is where Brad was having his tics and after being humiliated, he was eventually thrown out of the restaurant because of a disability. It was good to see that paper wrote a story about the incident and I hope the people who read it were educated to help the next person who is faced…

ADHD can be treated, like many things, with prescription drugs. It is a very controversial subject whether children with ADHD should be placed on medication or not. Some people believe that the drugs are helpful in cases with ADHD. Others believe that the drug is pointless and that children should not be dependent upon medication. The most common medication from children with ADHD is Adderall. This drug helps inhibit the hyperactivity and allow the students to focus. Whether one believes the…

In Adam Gopnik's article, “Get Smart,” he effectively evaluates true smartness of the machines of modern technology. Gopnik raises some good points to support the fact that machines are currently not as witty as human. For me, the most interesting point of the article is when Gopnik notes and then goes on to explain that the machines only have good memory but they cannot react to situations for which they are not prepared. Gopnik explains that the only reason a computer system named Watson won…

trauma-informed care (TIC) can be universally applied to other practice models, such as the family preservation model. Using a strengths-based perspective is a valuable TIC principle that would be very effective in family preservation. By highlighting a family’s strengths you can use these attributes to address challenges. Noticing strengths can also help build engagement and rapport with clients to help aid in the intervention process. Being person-centered is another TIC principle that could…

him. Neil Hilborn is a moving speaker, and I highly recommend watching his performance of “OCD” on button poetry. Hilborn uses his own case of OCD to his advantage in his writing, especially with this poem because most of the tics he uses within OCD are in fact actual tics caused by his Tourettes. Neil uses repetition to his advantage in order to give the listener a sense of what it is like to live as someone with the mental illness OCD. The repeating…

The first physical education class I got to observe was taught by Heather Karnes at James W. Parker Middle School. The class ran from 10:52 a.m. to 11:37 a.m. The students were in 6th grade. There was actually two classes combined into one class. Ms. Karnes had to change her plans for the class. The class was actually supposed to run the mile for the physical fitness tests, but the weather was no cooperating. She had to come up with something quickly that could be done inside the gym, since…

must make the other player have only two pieces or they aren't able to move anymore. “Shakespeare refers to Nine Men's Morris in A Midsummer Night's Dream, when he wrote ‘The Nine Men's Morris is fill'd up with mud’ (Act 2, Scene 2).” (GamesCrafters) Tic Tac is often…
