ABA and TEACCH Autism is a developmental disorder with no cure, but there are interventional treatments available for autistic children that family can use. Two of the most widely known comprehensive intervention models is “Applied Behaviour Analysis” (ABA) and “Treatment and Education of Autistic and related Communication-handicapped Children” (TEACCH). These two interventions are broadly requested and implemented in schools, educators, service providers, and parents (Callahan, et.al. 2009).…

Relating to electromagnetic radiation having wavelengths shorter than those of visible light but longer than those of x-rays. Ultraviolet radiation is emitted by the sun and some of its absorbed by the sun and some of it is absorbed by the o-zone in the atmosphere. Too much exposure to ultraviolet light can be can lead to sun burn,…

ignore this unless you're very bored, plz. i stand behind nothing I've ever said unless it actively hurts you, in which case i take full responsibility and will try not to say it without understanding why it does. one of the main problems with things is how hard some of them are. sidewalks should be more absorbent. one time i saw a lady scrubbing red liquid off the sidewalk in front of an acupuncture place, and i kind of thought that they'd pulled all the needles out of someone who got up and…

Though it may be the simplest question in the world for others, being asked where I’m from is an inquiry I’ve always found hard to answer. At least if I was asked where I was born, I could say Kathmandu, Nepal. Having grown up as an American citizen in Asia, I have never been able to answer the dreaded “where are you from?” Though many people equate a life overseas to wealth, my parents moved to Asia under idealistic obligation, not business opportunity. We lived on the stipend of a…

AS might have both positive and side effects…

fees. I would also like to see before and after school programs opened to all children with special needs not just the ones that need minimal help. A way to meet children’s needs in a special needs program would be to have teachers trained on Autism Spectrum Disorder. They would need to have low teacher to student ratios in the classroom and work closely with these kids on social development. But what about middle school and high school students with special needs? Most daycares stop providing…

Congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis (CIPA) is a hereditary gene that has less than 100 known cases that occurred in the United States (Yasuhiro 2008). It comes about from a mutation in the NTRK1 gene, a gene which affects the surface nerve cells that transmit pain, temperature and touch (Congenital 2011). This means that the nerves can no longer transmit signals and the person afflicted with this disease can can no longer feel anything, such as pain, temperature, and touch. Most…
