Undervisning for fysisk handicappede elever

Flere fantastiske forbindelser - relationer og konstruktioner i læringsmiljøer er en antologi med bidrag fra en række markante pædagogiske personligheder fra USA, Canada, England, Sverige og Danmark, der giver forskellige perspektiver på relationel teori og praksis i læringsmiljøer.Antologien er en selvstændig opfølger til antologien Fantastiske forbindelser - i undervisning og læringssamvær, hvor andre markante navne gjorde bogen til en pædagogisk bestseller.Flere fantastiske forbindelser har en om muligt endnu mere bemærkelsesværdig række af forskere, teoretikere og praksisudviklere som bidragydere, der kan udvide de fantastiske forbindelser og relationelle forståelser og udvikle eminente, samskabende og vitaliserende læringsmiljøer i skoler såvel som i daginstitutioner. Antologien lægger særlig vægt på ideen om, at vi samskaber vores forståelser af både os selv og verden. Alt, hvad vi tilegner os, lærer vi i relation til nogen eller noget.Forfatterne repræsenterer en bred vifte af fascinerende og respektfulde måder at udvikle god praksis. Antologien udgør en samlet helhed, men de enkelte bidrag kan læses hver for sig, hvis man ønsker at dykke dybere ned i emner som værdsættende undersøgelser, samskabelse, compassion, co-teaching, demokrati og professionelle relationer.Ledere, lærere, pædagoger, psykologer, konsulenter, lærer- og pædagogstuderende, studerende på pædagogiske diplommoduler og alle andre, der måtte have interesse i relationer og samskabelse af læringsmiljøer, kan finde inspiration til at udvikle pædagogisk forståelse og god praksis i egne kontekster.

APD er en hyppigt overset lyttevanskelighed, der påvirker barnets og den unges læring, udvikling og trivsel. Denne bog giver viden om, hvordan APD kommer til udtryk, hvad der forårsager problemerne, og hvad man som forælder, pædagog, lærer eller anden professionel kan gøre for at støtte barnet og den unge med dårlige lyttefærdigheder.APD skyldes ikke nedsat hørelse, men at hjernen ikke formår at skelne lydene, zoome ind på relevant lyd, sortere lyde og skabe mening. Børn med APD har derfor ofte svært ved at forstå det talte sprog og kan have besvær med fx læse-stave-tilegnelsen.Når hjernen ikke lytter giver en teoretisk gennemgang af hørelsen og hjernens processering af lyd samt den viden, der findes om APD’ens karakter. Bogen indeholder casebeskrivelser, en praksisdel, der giver forslag til forbedringer af de fysiske rammer i læringsmiljøet, pædagogisk understøttende tiltag, viden om behandlingsmuligheder samt screeningsark, der kan anvendes til at vurdere om et barn har en indikation for APD.

"Livet med et udviklingshæmmet barn" beskriver de særlige vilkår og udfordringer, man har i en familie med et handicappet barn. Bogen dykker ned i de forskellige dele af barnets opvækst fra fødsel over ungdomsliv og til tidlig voksenalder. Hver alder har sine egne udfordringer, hvor der kan være brug for at høre andres erfaringer eller blive udfordret på egen tænkning. Bogen er derfor krydret med citater og udsagn fra forældre, der selv har børn med udviklingshæmning. Deres bidrag gør bogen nuanceret og levende. Bogen giver kortt sagt svar på nogle af de uendeligt mange spørgsmål, der melder sig, og som man ikke kan gå ét sted hen og få svar på. Nogle af disse spørgsmål er eksistentielle og personlige – andre af mere lavpraktisk art. Bogens kapitler veksler fra letforståelig formidling af faglige emner som kromosomer og syndromer, regler og rettigheder og beskrivelse af barnets funktionsniveau til nære emner som tilknytning, sorg, opdragelse, handicapidentitet og familiedynamik. Bogen indeholder desuden praktiske informationer om merudgifter, tabt arbejdsfortjeneste, hjælpemidler, relevante foreninger mv. Bogen kan også bruges som opslagsværk, hvis der er en bestemt problemstilling i livet med det udviklingshæmmede barn, der kræver særlig opmærksomhed. Bogen henvender sig især til forældre, bedsteforældre og andre pårørende til børn med udviklingshæmning samt til professionelle, der arbejder med området i kommunalt eller specialpædagogisk regi.

Torsdag d. 31.08.23 gik Finansminister Nicolai Wammen på talerstolen til et pressemøde med den nye finanslov i hånden. Efter at have udtalt, at Danmark havde en bundsolid økonomi, sagde han, at vi samtidig måtte spare ude i kommunerne. Da han blev spurgt ind til, hvordan det kunne hænge sammen, svarede han, at når en skole nu måtte lukke, var det blandt andet pga. stigende inflation, og fordi der var nogle “meget store udgifter” forbundet med det såkaldt specialiserede socialområde. Dette områdes primære opgave er at tage sig af udsatte borgere og mennesker med handicap. Sådanne udtalelser er ikke nye, men denne gang udløste Wammens kommentar imidlertid en kampagne på internettet under hashtagget #Undskyldvierher. Her sagde en række mennesker med handicap og deres pårørende ironisk undskyld for at koste samfundet penge. Samtidig var kampagnen et tydeligt opråb om, at mange i forvejen kæmper med at få den hjælp, støtte og omsorg, de har brug for. Dette digt består af de første 100 opslag under en søgning på “#undskyldvierher” på Facebook pr. dd. 20.09.2023. Søgningen tæller pt. over 1000 opslag, hvoraf mange er adresseret direkte til Finansministeren. Bag hver af disse sætninger gemmer der sig således utallige lignende sætninger. Denne udgave er sat med skrifttypen Open Dyslexic, der er designet til at være lettere at læse for personer med læsevanskeligheder.

Marley the Mustang is inspired by the true story of a wild horse no one wanted to adopt.

This book addresses the tensions of existing theories and practices of inclusive education from an international perspective. Adopting Disability Critical Race Theory in Education (DisCrit) and Critical Disability Studies (CDS), the authors expose how race neutral knowledge characterizes inclusive education and exhorts readers to consider how intersectional perspectives provide more complex and nuanced understandings about ways in which racism and ableism simultaneously circulate as intersecting oppressions in schools and societies and across geographical borders. The authors begin by engaging in a critical analysis of the genesis of inclusive education before exploring how existing policies and practices of inclusive education in the global North evade the collusive nature of oppressions faced by minoritized students with disabilities and are uncritically transferred into the global South. Ultimately, the book encourages readers to reconceptualize inclusive education and move towards developing and sustaining transformative notions of global justice.

This book describes the disability rights movement that started in the USA and its influence on the disability rights movement in Lebanon, which has led to the endorsement of the Lebanese Disability Act 220/2000. The book introduces the reader to the Lebanese Disability Act 220/ 2000, its definition of disability, and its relation to the medical and social models of disabilities and then articulate the Act articles. Then, it defines the inclusive design paradigm that acknowledges the needs of all people at each stage of their life cycle and presents the difference between inclusive design and accessibility and disability notions. Moreover, the book reviews the different international accessible design standards (American and French) that are adopted in Lebanon with the absence of a nationalized Lebanese design standard and its effect on eliminating barriers and enhancing accessibility at university buildings. Besides, the book presents students' experiences and their satisfaction with the university built environments. 6 university buildings case studies at the American University of Beirut are assessed and analysed to check whether they adopt the inclusive design approach and then propose inclusive design solutions for both heritage and modern university buildings. What makes the book unique is its combination of empirical and theoretical application of inclusive design. The last section, reflects the author¿s inclusive design teaching pedagogy. In this section, the author shares samples of students¿ class design project and provides recommendations and guidelines for teaching inclusive design so it becomes mainstream.

This book explores the intersection of gender and disability in the context of tourism. In part, the book foregrounds feminist theorising of intersectionality by examining how gender can overlap with other social identities to contribute to more systemic oppression, domination, discrimination, and marginalisation of certain categories of people. Our point of departure is that disability does not operate in isolation as it is constituted and experienced within an already gendered social and tourism environment. With substantial research on the intersection of gender and tourism on the one hand, and the intersection of disability and tourism on the other hand, the interconnectedness of gender and disability and the implications this has on tourism policy and practice remains understudied. Thus, the book provides a critical lens that helps unpack underlying assumptions about gender and disability while questioning the dominant ideas about gender and disability reproduced through tourism policies and institutional practices in an African context.This book will be of interest to scholars and researchers in Gender Studies, Disability Studies, and Tourism Studies, particularly those with a research interest in Africa.

The Definition of Physical WeaknessIn our society, physical weakness is often seen as a limitation, something to be overcome or hidden. We are bombarded with images of strength and vitality, equating physical prowess with success and happiness. But what if we were to redefine physical weakness? What if we were to embrace it, rather than fight against it?Physical weakness, in its simplest definition, refers to a lack of physical strength or stamina. It can manifest in various forms, from chronic illnesses and disabilities to temporary setbacks due to injury or illness. However, physical weakness is not a character flaw or a sign of inferiority. It is merely a part of the human experience, something that affects all of us at some point in our lives.To truly understand physical weakness, we must first recognize that it is not synonymous with failure. Weakness does not define us; it is merely a part of who we are. It is a reminder of our vulnerability and our need for support and compassion from others. It is through embracing our weaknesses that we can find strength and resilience.By acknowledging and accepting our physical weaknesses, we can learn to adapt and find new ways to navigate the challenges that come our way. It is in these moments of vulnerability that we discover our true strength, our ability to persevere despite the odds. We learn to lean on others for support, to ask for help when we need it, and to cultivate a sense of humility and gratitude for the abilities we do possess.Embracing physical weakness also allows us to challenge societal norms and redefine what it means to be strong. Strength is not solely defined by physical prowess; it encompasses emotional, mental, and spiritual fortitude as well. By embracing our weaknesses, we expand our understanding of strength and open ourselves up to a life of triumph, regardless of our physical limitations.In this book, "Redefining Limitations: Embracing Physical Weakness for a Life of Triumph," we will explore the concept of physical weakness in depth. Through personal stories, expert interviews, and practical advice, we will delve into the ways in which physical weakness can be reframed as an opportunity for growth and self-discovery. We will challenge societal norms and inspire readers to embrace their weaknesses, finding strength and triumph in the face of adversity.This book is for everyone - those who have experienced physical weakness firsthand, those who support and care for individuals with physical limitations, and anyone seeking to expand their understanding of what it means to be strong. Let us embark on this journey together, as we redefine limitations and embrace physical weakness for a life of triumph.

This book addresses issues of access that COVID-19 brought forth in higher education, with a primary focus on Asian countries. In looking to address SDG4 to promote ¿inclusive and equitable quality education for all¿, the volume explores the challenges relating to educational exclusion by considering how specially-abled students have been impacted by the digital divide in the context of the pandemic. It puts a spotlight on the approaches, experiences, and case analyses from various geographies in the region to study transitions in inclusivity. Universities and institutes of higher education have had to reconsider their digital offerings and services all the more since the onset of the pandemic, but have, in many instances, failed to fully account for how Internet access can be limited, unavailable, or unaffordable for many students. As a result, specially-abled learners ¿ students without sufficient technological resources, such as those living in remote areas where there are little or no Internet facilities ¿ have been, however unintentionally, neglected. While universities implemented their own practices, processes and policies to reach, and teach, disadvantaged learners, they had to further adapt these strategies, re-aligning them to meet the unprecedented circumstances, and concomitant needs, of specially-abled learners ¿ and there is still much more to do. This book consolidates regional perspectives on how to work towards goals of inclusivity, and bridge the digital divide, looking into, and beyond, the conditions of the pandemic. Relevant to scholars and policymakers, this book is of interest to those focused on digitisation and the transition to the ¿new normal¿ in higher education.

Dieses Buch setzt sich mit alltäglicher Lebenssituation als Gegenstand pädagogischer Sprachdiagnostik auseinander und ist im Diskurs über Diagnostik und Förderung sprachlich-kommunikativer Kompetenzen zu verorten. Es wurde untersucht, welche Faktoren zur Konstruktion der alltäglichen Lebenssituation beitragen. Außerdem wurde ein Analyseverfahren für die pädagogische Sprachdiagnostik entwickelt, erprobt und evaluiert. Die Ergebnisse zeigen auf, dass Faktoren wie eigenaktives Handeln des Subjekts oder zwischenmenschliche Beziehungen zur Konstruktion alltäglicher Lebenssituation beitragen. Außerdem weisen die Befunde darauf hin, dass mit Anwendung eines in einer Alltagssituation durchgeführten problemzentrierten Interviews Informationen zur alltäglichen Lebenssituation eines sprachbeeinträchtigten Kindes erfasst werden können. Diese Informationen werden anhand des entwickelten Auswertungsleitfadens handlungstheoretisch analysiert. Daraus lassen sich Bedingungen der alltäglichen Lebenssituation rekonstruieren, um pädagogische Sprachfördersituationen zu gestalten, die auf die Erweiterung der sprachlichen Handlungsfähigkeit in der alltäglichen Lebenssituation gerichtet sind.Dies ist ein Open-Access-Buch.

This volume focuses on the diverse ways in which mothers working within academia seek to find others with similar experiences to build virtual communities. Although the faculty and student populations of universities have diversified, mothers in academia are disproportionately overrepresented in precarious faculty and staff positions and continue to experience myriad institutional and interpersonal barriers, such as gender wage gaps that are exacerbated by stop-the-clock tenure policies, inadequate parental leave policies, expensive or scarce local childcare options, and social biases. The book gives space to the many ways women create and challenge their own versions of motherhood through a digital ¿village,¿ examining how academic mothers use virtual communities to seek and enact different kinds of support.
