I am doing my practicum at High bridge park recreation center. The recreation center is a place that provides services for adults over 21 who have intellectual and other developmental disabilities. The staff work together to help individuals overcome the challenges they face every day to live an independent and meaningful life in the community. The organization I am working with is AHRC, which is a family governed organization that works with people with intellectual and other developmental…

Accessible Design Codes are Adequate American’s with Disabilities Act of 1990 was put into place to allow users of a space to adequately maneuver a space. There are numerous laws and codes put into place to allow most individuals to enter and maneuver a space. While some individuals might have to go out of their way or move to another area of the interior to utilize a space, it is not often enough to redesign and implement laws that are not necessary. Universal design is too expensive, not…

After embarking upon a “handicap” adventure, it is clear that Lycoming College is in fact handicap acceptable, with a few exceptions. Being able to take a walking tour of the campus opened my eyes to the harsh realities that disabled humans face every day. It is the simple tasks that one takes for granted such as, using the bathroom, water fountain, and stairs. Furthermore, being a handicapped student at Lycoming College is manageable, but would still be a struggle at times. Additionally, I was…

The Ideology and Purpose of the Propaganda Campaign The organization that I 've chosen to develop a campaign for is FODAC, also known as Friends of Disabled Adults and Children. This is an organization that focuses on the disabled community by providing equipment and services to help redefine access to mobility. Whether the individual has a permanent or temporary disability FODAC is still there to help assist them. They provide many things for the disabled such as wheelchairs, ramps, and…

subtle to a person not living with a disability yet could prove essential to another person living with a disability. The ADA recommends in Standard 208 and 502 1.10 that accessible spaces should be identified with the International Symbol of Accessibility sign located at least 60 inches from the ground. The sign at Avent’s park is located 56 inches from the ground which could create a barrier for an individual living with a disability. There is an accessible sign for the parking spot and…

better explore Georgetown’s campus before my soon approaching graduation; rather it was to inspect Dahlgren’s facilities, and to attempt to determine how much accessibility they provide for the disabled. In determining what constitutes acceptable accessibility, I mainly consulted with three primary sources on the matter of liturgical accessibility. The first of which is an article from Faith and Form magazine by Robert Habiger, a well-respected church architect, who discusses the value of…

“To ensure the success of the colonization,” began the General, “only those individuals deemed essential as outlined in the New Earth Initiative press release from February 4th, 2116 will be granted a seat on the first series of launches to New Earth.” The broadcast continued for a while longer as the General called out the names of the approximately 800 scientists, local politicians, business…

Morrison effectively connotes Denver as the snow, doing all the work to cover the house. In other words, she takes action on her own to help the entire household. While Sethe became too distracted in her love affairs with Paul D, Denver took initiative to comfort Beloved when nobody could do so. While Denver becomes more independent and mother-like to Beloved due to her altruistic actions, her actions of taking responsibility ultimately prove her ownership for her freed self because…

The legal drinking age for military serving on active duty can vary from around the world. The minimum drinking age in the United States military is twenty-one and in other countries the minimum drinking age is eighteen. Germany has maybe the most relaxed laws for military personnel, which they only have to be eighteen to drink and can drink a maximum of two beers during the duty day. Young men and women can join the United States military at eighteen, have the right to vote, are tried as an…

Law enforcement also has the duty to stop illegal behavior. There have been several instances in across the U.S. where the police fail to punish minors for drinking under the age. When the police show up at a party where teens are getting drunk they have been known to respond to the situation by taking the alcohol and making their parents pick them up. Nothing goes on the person who provides the alcohol or the minor’s record; both groups are simply given a warning. The drinking law is a commonly…
