How Music for Children With Cerebral Palsy?

2012-02-12T00:35:00.000-08:00

The Benefits of Music for Children with Cerebral Palsy

Music evokes an emotional response from everyone.

For the child with cerebral palsy music does this and much more. It acts as a vital aid to communication and language development. It builds physical, sensory and cognitive skills. It addresses social, psychological and behavioral. All this occurs in a stimulating, non-threatening and fun environment that encourages the child to extract as much benefit as possible without the pressure of formal academic learning.

Children with cerebral palsy (CP) tend to have a good sense of hearing, as the auditory function is usually unaffected by the condition. This is particularly true in those who are visually impaired, as their quality of life is so much more dependent on what they hear. For children with limited vision and restricted movement, music is particularly important as it provide an accessible and enjoyable way to develop and learn.

Singing is a valuable tool for aiding the development of speech and language. Speech and singing are accessed through different parts of the brain, so children with cerebral palsy who finds literacy skills difficult, will respond much more positively to a sung approach. Encouraging children to listen to singing and join in themselves, however limited their ability, will significantly enhance the development of their oral motor skills, articulation and breath control.

Repetitive songs will improve the children's vocalisation and pronunciation as repetitive, rhythmic music aids the internal absorption of the patterns and sounds of speech. Because of the enjoyable and stimulating nature of musical activities, increased language learning takes place subconsciously and without anxiety. For example, the recurring word patterns found in familiar songs such as Old MacDonald, or This Old Man, will help to improve the child's vocalisation and pronunciation in a fun way, as well as working the cognitive and memory skills. Any familiar song adapted to use the children's names, will further add to the pleasure of learning.

For speaking children, the rhythmic nature of many songs aids the intelligibility of pronunciation and the pacing of words. Children with limited vocal skills enjoy anticipating and supplying the final word of a line of song lyric, for example, 'Hickory Dickory Dock'. Plenty of time should be allowed for the responses so that the subsequent praise and feeling of achievement heightens the enjoyment of the activity as well as increasing their self-confidence.

For non-speaking children, music provides an ideal opportunity to develop the use of a Picture Exchange system or other communication aid. Children can participate by choosing from a small selection; the picture of the next animal for Old MacDonald, for example, or a picture that represents a request for the next song to be sung, or perhaps the favoured percussion instrument to play. Simple Makaton or other signing should be encouraged whenever appropriate as familiar rhymes are sung, enabling non-speakers to participate and feel an important part of the activity. Stop-start games can be used to encourage children to signal in their own way for more and to enjoy the feeling of anticipation. Signing also strengthens the understanding of speaking children.

Enhanced language learning takes place when movement is used to reinforce music. A familiar example of this is the song, 'Here we go round the Mulberry Bush'. Everyday actions such as handwashing, teeth-cleaning, going to bed, cuddling a teddy and so on, can be mimed in conjunction with actions aimed more specifically at individual children, such as the use of a switch. Encouraging and aiding children to move within their capabilities, whilst listening to the repetitive words of the song, reinforces the connection between the action and the words, so increasing their awareness and acceptance of common activities.

Information can be absorbed in small chunks through music. The days of the week, perhaps, or the child's home telephone number, children's names and names of family members, etc. are more likely to be retained if taught by means of a fun and stimulating song. Words can easily be adapted to fit the tunes of familiar songs or alternatively can be chanted very simply on one or two notes accompanied by the steady beat of a drum.

Enrolling a Teenager With Aspergers Syndrome at a Therapeutic School

2012-02-02T00:33:00.000-08:00

Aspergers syndrome is a disability that affects how a person relates to other people. People who have Aspergers may talk a lot about their hobbies but have problems in getting messages across other people or giving them a chance to talk. They may also have problems in understanding other people's feelings or their body gestures. Overall, it can be said that people with Aspergers have impaired communication with other people.

Aspergers is also demonstrated when people like their habits to be stringently observed and organized. They like everything to be at the right schedule and can be seriously frustrated when it is done in the "wrong" manner. The results of Aspergers vary and can range from formalized behavior to aggressive and anti-social behavior.

Secondary school can be highly upsetting for students with Aspergers syndrome given the secondary school's routine. Transferring classrooms and meeting new classmates and teachers can be extremely stressful for someone who likes everything to be "in place" or unchanging. A person who has Aspergers can also extend a lot of effort when speaking with others. While other students have better interpersonal relationship as they get older, people with Aspergers may find it tricky to maintain friendships.

A thesis by Petra Dewrang, a psychologist, investigates individuals with Aspergers from children between 14 and 18 years old. The thesis, which was based on interviews, self-evaluations and tests, found out that people afflicted with Aspergers were as comfortable as the comparison group. Although both Aspergers and comparison group established good relationships with their family, the former seems to have a difficult time building relationships outside the family sphere. With this, a therapeutic school can help people afflicted with Aspergers syndrome to gain more interpersonal skills, which permit them to relate with other people.

Hence, specialty schools such as an Aspergers school can help students get used to the school environment without much trauma. These schools have individualized programs that serve the needs of a person who struggles with a specific difficulty. For example, people with Aspergers can work with groups, such as clubs, that permit them to polish their hobbies. Although they are fascinated about a specific subject and have a difficult time keeping up with other subjects, personalized programs can help these adolescents concentrate on subjects where they are performing poorly.

Touch Typing Tutor for Children With Special Needs

2012-01-27T00:31:00.000-08:00

Learning to touch type can be a life changing skills for children with special needs. By learning this priceless skill these kids can improve other skills such as reading and spelling not to mention the vocabulary enhancement. The best way to teach special needs children to type is with a touch typing tutor.

There are many touch typing tutors out there aimed designed for kids with some sort of learning disability. The most popular type of learning disability these tutors are used for is Dyslexia. For years teachers across the land have used specially designed typing tutors to teach dyslexic children how to type.

But these programs have proven to be useful with other types of Special Needs including Dyspraxia / Development Co-ordination Disorder (DCD), Autistic Spectrum Disorder, Aspergers, Semantic Pragmatic & other language disorders and Visual Impairment.

A typing program aimed for special needs children must add educational value and teach keyboard skills at the same. So such programs must include:

A focus on additional literacy benefits whilst teaching touch typing

    * Grammar and punctuation lessons
    * Written and Spoken instructions
    * A simple and uncluttered presentation style
    * Games (A bit of fun is always welcomed)
    * Rewards (to keep children motivated)
    * Short Lessons

Benefits for Dyslexic Children

Learning type can bring many benefits for children with dyslexia including reading, comprehension, focus and spelling not to mention the reduction in handwriting, often a challenging area for many dyslexics.

Benefits for Visually Impaired

For the majority of visually impaired children learning keyboard skills is the only way to use a computer, despite the great strides made in voice recognition software's the keyboard still the most practical way for someone with sight problems to control a computer.

Benefits for Children with ASD

ASD is the acronym for Autistic Spectrum Disorder. Autistic children have difficulties with producing written work and evidencing progress. Reason why the chosen typing tutor must have well structured lessons with a clear beginning and a clear ending as well as a reward system which is immediate.

Benefits for Semantic Pragmatic Children

Semantic Pragmatic Disorder or SPD causes complex communication problems that can be overcomed with touch typing because it will improve the process of written communication by greatly reducing the need for a linear thought process.

Advocate for Your Child With Asperger Syndrome

2012-01-15T00:29:00.000-08:00

If your child was recently diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome, you will need to educate yourself about AS in order to understand how it affects him/her so that you can provide relevant information about his/her needs to the school in writing. You want to give the teacher as much information about your child as possible, in terms of how AS affects him/her, but at the same time keep the document as short as possible. That way the teacher is more likely to read ALL of it.

Here are a few points to consider including in your document:

Highlight the safety needs, both for your child and others. This will be the best way to get support for your child in the classroom (if that's what you want). Think in terms of anxiety related behaviours and meltdowns that may lead to destructive behaviour or aggressive behaviour towards others, and the potential for your son or daughter to be the target of bullies.

Point out that although your son or daughter may look normal and advanced in many ways, he/she has poor communication skills because it is difficult for him/her to read facial expressions and make eye contact (if this is the case). Also he/she may take expressions literally and miss implied meanings. He/she may also have obsessive and limited interests and/or repetitive routines and physical clumsiness. Provide real examples that relate to your child. Remind the school that your child's ability to function well in group activities or social situations should not be over-estimated. As a result, he/she will need support and programming in all of these areas. Make suggestions as to what you would like to see in the IEP (Individual Education Plan).

The teacher's attitude will be the prime example to a class on how to treat a child with Asperger Syndrome. If a teacher is intolerant and impatient with an AS student's odd behaviours, it sends a signal to the other students that it's okay to tease the AS student, both in and out of class. Also, it is important to point out that punishment is not the appropriate method for addressing the inappropriate behaviours of an AS student since the behaviours are one of the diagnostic signs and a result of having Asperger Syndrome.

You may want to consider disclosing the fact that your child has AS to the class. In my experience, other children are more likely to be tolerant of a student who acts and speaks in an odd way, if they know the reason.

If you decide to do this, here's a good tip. Write "Asperger Syndrome" on the board and stress the correct pronunciation to the class. This makes it less likely that the 'class clown' (every class has one) will hear the name as "Ass Burger" and make fun of your child using that term.

Your school may have anti-bullying policies in place which are not helping on a practical level. If your child is left unsupervised, he/she may become a victim of bullying but he/she may not have the skills to tell an adult. If you know or suspect that bullying is an issue, and the school or school board is unable or unwilling to deal with it appropriately, home schooling may be an option worth considering, even if only temporarily, since bullying will undoubtedly affect your child's emotional well-being.

5 Secrets Of Learning That No One Ever Told You

2012-01-04T00:27:00.000-08:00

Everyone knows that we have two brain hemispheres - the left and the right. Logic and Gestalt.

The left hand hemisphere or the logic hemisphere handles our ability to see the bits and pieces that make up information - our ability to see the trees in the forest. It controls our ability to sequence information and put it in an orderly pattern. It helps us to see logical progressions and to recognise patterns such as number facts (multiplication tables) and rhymes.

The right hand hemisphere or Gestalt hemisphere handles our emotions, our ability to see the big picture - the reason why. It helps us to make sense of the bits and pieces in a meaningful and emotionally relevant way. The Gestalt hemisphere handles intuition and it is what allows us to make intuitive leaps - those flashes of brilliance when seemingly unconnected information comes together into something amazing. It governs our ability to relate to others with compassion and empathy. It is our creative side, our artistic and musically inclined self. Without it, the bits and pieces supplied by the logical hemisphere are meaningless pieces of information.

To learn effectively we need access to both hemispheres of the brain. In children with high stress levels (aka a learning difficulty,) one of the hemispheres is not functioning as it should. It is suppressed by the dominant hemisphere and its gifts are locked away. These children (and adults) are at a disadvantage - they are operating with only half of what they need to learn effectively. Hence some are dreamers - they can see the big picture but have no way of knowing how to accomplish their dream. Sometimes they are called lazy. Others are so bogged down in the details they get lost in what is called analysis paralysis - they can see the bits and pieces but can't quite grasp how to put them all together into a cohesive whole.

Regaining the use of the whole brain - what I call brain integration - is the first step we take when working with a new student.

Secret Number 2 - The Ability To Move Forward

For so many students (and their parents!) feeling stuck, clumsy, confused and lost is a daily experience. It isn't necessarily a physical feeling - although it can be. Mostly it is a mental feeling, one of being stuck in mud, it is a struggle and hard work.

Of thinking you have the answer and then beginning to doubt yourself. Of being unsure that you heard the instructions properly, so you need to check, double check, triple check before you feel confident to move forward with the activity.

Our ability to move forward determines how we approach different situations. If we feel stuck, our self-esteem and self-confidence are eroded over time and our insecurity increases. As it increases we become fearful of making mistakes, of "getting it wrong", of being laughed at.

On the other hand, if we can move forward without fear - we can sometimes have what I term bull at a gate syndrome. We can rush in where angels fear to tread. Sometimes we can lack the caution which allows us to assess the situation fully. We can have what situations like the one that faced Po in Kung-fu Panda 2. We can see our objective - Gongman City Palace, but not see the wolves prowling the streets, we leap into action without seeing the dangers that lie before us. As Mantis said: "What are you doing? The streets are crawling with wolves!"

A balance between the two extremes - feeling stuck and fearlessly moving forward - are needed for our children to learn. They need to be able to make a decision and see it through. In order to do this, our children need the foundation of Secret Number 1!

Secret Number 3 - Ability To Communicate

What is communication? For many people it is our ability to read and write, to speak clearly and succinctly. However, it is so much more than that. Communication is more non-verbal than verbal. It is the way we hold our self, the tone, the pitch, the delivery speed. It is our body stance, our facial expressions, the way we use or hold our hands. These visual cues are what bring meaning and depth to our communications.

Beyond this, communication encompasses our style of presenting information. Are we logical communicators? If so, we start at the beginning and plod through every detail of what has happened, useful for writing reports, but boring in a conversation!

If we are an emotional communicator, we bring in the full range of expressive language options. We rant, we rave, we may be incoherent at times (especially when excited or angry). We tell the story from an emotional point of view - telling what stood out at the time, not necessarily in a logical progression. So we have difficulty sequencing events as we jump around following the emotional trail. This event reminds me of that one (which may have happened a long time ago) which reminds me of something that I thought I heard yesterday and so on.

When it comes to learning, if we are limited in our communication - meaning our communication is controlled by the hemisphere which is suppressed under stress - we may know the answer but have difficulty expressing it. We have difficulty getting our ideas from our head onto the paper. Sometimes we can talk our way through it, but often we feel tongue-tied. We grow frustrated with our inability to express what is inside of us.

This can go on until we literally explode. The child who is limited in their ability to communicate can feel as though they are living inside a pressure cooker. Once they hit critical levels, steam has to be let out - often in the form of tears, tantrums, escapism, or total shut down where they withdraw inside of themselves completely.

For those around them, this situation is just as frustrating. After all, when they are relaxed and integrated these children show us glimpses of what they are capable of. And these tantalising glimpses leave us frustrated that they aren't performing at their best, especially when we don't understand why.

You may know the degree you are looking for, but it is not an easy task to narrow down the list to the best online degree program that meets your requirements. Below are the five considerations that you can use to compare the online universities before you select the best one among them.

1. Compare The Accreditation

It is your responsibility to make sure the online degree you earn is worth the value. Don't fall into the trap of diploma mill and earn a fake degree. Therefore, accreditation is the most important factor to consider when comparing online universities. Besides avoiding the scams, the consideration of accreditation is important to make sure you have a smooth start in your future career. For example, if you pursue an online degree program from a regional accredited university, you have an easier time finding jobs, using the degree to further your study or transferring your credits to other schools. Besides the regional accreditation, degrees from online universities that are accredited by DETC (Distance Education and Training Council) are widely accepted by employers.

2. Compare The Admission Requirements

Each school has the admission requirements for online students. It will be a waste of time if you are trying to apply for the online degree program that you are not qualified for. You should compare the admission requirements of online universities for the course you are interested in pursuing. Make sure you can meet the requirements before you submit your application.

3. Compare The Residency Requirements

When comparing the online degree programs offered by different online universities, it is important to compare the residency requirements and make sure you select the one that fits your lifestyle. The education programs may be offered entirely through the internet or require you to attend some hours of physical classroom sessions or face-to-face discussions at a brick-and-mortar university. If there is residency requirements, you may want to consider the online degree programs with physical facilities near your home or workplace.

4. Compare Online Class Schedules

Flexibility is a feature and the advantage of online education. Many online education programs allow students to learn based on their pace of study. But, it may not apply for some programs as they need the online students to meet strict deadlines for every subject they sign up in a semester. Depending on the time you can allocate on online study, you should compare the class schedule for the courses offered by online universities. If you are a working individual and your job requires you to travel frequently from one place to another, you may want to consider the online degree program that gives the maximum flexibility so that you can plan your own schedule to fit your times.

5. Compare The Examination Requirements

Almost all online degree programs require students to complete the examination in order to earn the degree. Each online university will have its examination requirements. Many of the universities have specific examination centers for their online students to sit for the exams. You will need to compare the examination requirements from each online university to make sure you can meet the requirements. There are also online examinations allowed in some degree programs, you can choose this type of examination if it is your preferred method.

How Time Management Tips For the Working Student?

2011-12-17T23:49:00.000-08:00

The working student has become a staple in today's society. Full-time students who also have full-time jobs are part of a growing trend. The percentage of these hard workers is likely to increase in coming years. Many people who already have good jobs still feel they should have a degree, and so decide to enroll into online schools or alternative certification programs. There are also people who choose to continue their education by seeking a master's or doctorate degree in their field, but are not financially able to take time off work while they go back to school. The most difficult thing about working full-time as well as going to school full-time is working out a way to balance your very limited time. Even if your job is only part-time or you're enrolled in online classes, knowing how to manage your time between the two different worlds can be overwhelming.

If you think you need to work on your time management skills, look no further than your smartphone. There are several apps that can help you get organized and manage your time wisely. For example, ActionComplete is a free to-do list app that lets you prioritize projects, group tasks by actions, and set reminders. This app would be great for helping you decide which task is most pressing to complete. Another great app is Evernote, which is built specifically for note-taking and archiving. Among its best functions is image capture and recording voice notes. Evernote comes in 2 versions, free and paid, so it's up to you to decide which version will be more functional for your purpose.

All work/school and no play makes anyone a dull person, so finding a way to schedule some down time for you can also be a great challenge. While school and work are equally important, you must also remember to take care of yourself, or you won't be well enough to go to work or school. Making an agreement with yourself to set aside at least a few hours a week for "me" time can make a world of difference when you are totally swamped with work and education. It's especially important to make time to see old friends, as their energy and encouragement can give you the drive to keep pushing for your goals.
