If you cannot come, be sure to call ahead and let the school secretary knowshe can get a message to the teacher. Have DSG write a letter of introduction to Mrs. Robbins so she will know who you are. In addition, she requests that you dress appropriately (not too casually) and that you bring your Ole Miss ID so that you can wear it pinned to your shirt or dress. This may sound overly cautious, but she needs to ensure the safety of her students. Don't be put off by these requests; she really wants your help.

Start-to-Finish White Paper, Don Johnston Special Needs The editors adapt the text to meet the needs of older struggling readers. Kletzien s poor readers were not an identified learning disabled population http://donjohnston.co.uk/catalog/stfwhitepaper.htm
Extractions: Start-to-Finish® Library Pupils who are still struggling with reading when they reach the upper elementary, middle, and high school grades find it very difficult, if not impossible, to catch up. As the years go by, their inability to read becomes more and more humiliating. There are few effective age-appropriate resources available to older struggling readers that permit them to practice the skills they need to become proficient readers. Research has shown that reading a lot helps pupils acquire the essential language, cognitive skills and background knowledge that will promote academic success (Cunningham and Stanovich 1998). Avid, fluent readers "acquire new language and vocabulary, new conceptual knowledge, new comprehension challenges and new modes of thought to which they would not otherwise be exposed" (Adams and Bruck, 1995). Practice makes their word recognition skills automatic, freeing them to concentrate on higher-level ideas in their reading. Greater fluency leads to better skills, more pleasure, more information, and hence, more reading. Struggling readers can be compared to musicians or athletes in training (Samuels, 2002) in their need for practice. Poor readers tend to read less than better readers, with the gap increasing as the pupils move through the grades (Stanovich, 1986). There is enormous variation in the amount of independent reading that pupils do outside of school, with pupils at the 98

Extractions: do-able Technology comes to the aid of those with disabilities in state-of-the-art center. by Maridith Geuder T he youngest client so far has been one month old. The oldest has been 97. They may have relatively simple needs, such as a way to hold an over-sized cup steady. Their needs may be more complicated, requiring highly technical electronic systems that allow someone with a severe spinal cord injury to regulate his environment. They may require visual or audio augmentation devices that allow them to communicate effectively, or special mobility devices that allow freedom of movement. The T.K. Martin Center for Technology and Disability at Mississippi State is serving the needs of disabled citizens around the state. Now 20 months old, the 22,000-square-foot center adjoining the Longest Student Health Center is a one-of-a-kind facility on a college campus. With primary funding from the Mississippi Department of Rehabilitation Services, the center works to remove the barriers experienced by those who have physical or cognitive impairments. Its primary tool, as the name suggests, is the technology that enhances and expands lives. "The current status of technology and the ability of new technology allow us to do things for people with disabilities that weren't possible before," said Harry F. (Bud) Rizer, director of the center.

UMC - Healthcare In Mississippi - Children's Hospital Thousands of mississippi children and their families must deal with this reality and placed new emphasis on the special needs of hospitalized children. http://www.umc.edu/healthcare/children.html
Extractions: En Espanol UMC Home Health Care Donate now! It Happens Every Day Children are struck down by illness and injury. It may begin with a simple cough or an accident. And often it strikes with sudden, unrelenting violence. Thousands of Mississippi children and their families must deal with this reality each year. At the Blair E. Batson Hospital for Children, staff members work hard to overcome these obstacles. They cannot do it alone. It takes support from the community to keep the hospital on the cutting edge of contemporary health care. With the community's help, 1997 was a banner year for Mississippi's children. It was then the doors to the Blair E. Batson Hospital for Children opened to begin offering state-of -the-art health care in a state-of-the-art facility. While the original Children's Hospital opened in 1968 and more than 40 pediatric specialists were on staff providing care only available at UMC, the environment and facilities were not ready for 21st century medicine. To meet that need, the new $17 million five-floor Batson Hospital was built atop the Mississippi Children's Cancer Clinic. It has prioritized children's care and placed new emphasis on the special needs of hospitalized children. Included in the 130- bed facility are areas for physical therapy, infant care, treatment rooms, bone marrow transplantation, a pediatric pharmacy, the state's only pediatric intensive care unit as well as patient classrooms and activity rooms. Why a Children's Hospital?
