"Repercussões das políticas de inclusão na formação docente" trata de temas ainda pouco explorados no ensino superior, principalmente em relação à deficiência visual e aos avanços tecnológicos que esta necessidade específica requer. Organizado por professores com vasta experiência docente e por pesquisadores mineiros, dá visibilidade as pesquisas recentes que problematizam a temática da deficiência, sua segregação e exclusão em alguns momentos, sua integração e inclusão em outros, e ao desenvolvimento do tema em trabalhos de ensino, pesquisa e extensão. Esta publicação é destinada a estudantes, pesquisadores, professores, profissionais e interessados pelo tema.
Handwriting and Dysgrafia: Relation and Assessment presents (in eleven chapters no less) the interdisciplinary perspective and relation between handwriting and dysgraphia. Therefore, in organizing this e-book, the authors think about how it would be possible, through their experiences with the care of students with dysgraphia complaints in the Investigation Learning Disabilities Laboratory at the Speech and Hearing Sciences Department (São Paulo State University Júlio de Mesquita Filho UNESP Marília, São Paulo, Brazil), to assist educators as well as health and education professionals to broaden their knowledge of the clinical and educational characteristics of students with dysgraphia.
Currently in the United States, 20% of children ages 6 years or younger live in poverty. Poor children have fewer opportunities than their peers to resources that are important for child development. At the same time, the prevalence of developmental disabilities has increased to 1 in every 6 children. Early identification of developmental delays is critical, and more than half of all American parents do not know the warning signs. Occupational therapy professionals in early intervention and preschool practice can provide the necessary services to support children's health in early childhood. This Practice Guideline explains the occupational therapy process for young children--and their famil...

In its two major sections, wearable robotics systems are described from both engineering perspectives and their application in medicine and industry. Systems and applications at various levels of the development cycle are presented, including those that are still under active research and development, systems that are under preliminary or full clinical trials, and those in commercialized products. This book is a great resource for anyone working in this field, including researchers, industry professionals and those who want to use it as a teaching mechanism. - Provides a comprehensive overview of the entire field, with both engineering and medical perspectives - Helps readers quickly and efficiently design and develop wearable robotics for healthcare applications
A handsomely produced survey on Brazilian design polymath José Zanine Caldas One of the most important figures in Brazilian material culture, José Zanine Caldas (1919-2001) left behind a diverse legacy in architecture, design and art. His oeuvre includes maquettes built for architecture, industrial and handcrafted furniture, sculpture, landscaping and floriculture, low-income and elite housing designs, and research on the use and reuse of Brazilian woods. Much of Caldas' aesthetic was based on his dialogue with vernacular craft and its construction practices, which stemmed in part from his lack of a traditional education. This book introduces his work and celebrates the centenary of his birth, tracing his trajectory with a primary focus on the rationale of his design and his worldview. It includes original photography of Zanine's work alongside an extensive survey of personal and institutional collections, much of which is being published here for the first time.
The most comprehensive exhibition catalog dedicated to the work of Brazilian artist Tarsila do Amaral (1886-1973), a pioneering figure in Latin American modernism. The focus of the exhibition is the popular, or the vernacular, a notion as complex in Brazil as it is contested, and which Tarsila explored in different ways throughout her career. The popular is associated with debates on national art or identity and the invention or construction of brasilidade, Brazilianness. In Tarsila, the popular is manifested in landscapes of the countryside or the suburbs, the farm or the favela, populated by people of indigenous or African descent, characters from Brazilian folklore, full of animals and pl...
"Aphasia is a debilitating disorder, resulting from brain damage, which causes a person to lose the ability to understand or express speech. While aphasia is sometimes permanent, some people can completely recover their language ability spontaneously or with treatment. This monograph consists of four chapters that provide details about the disorder and describe various treatment options. Chapter One reports non-invasive brain stimulation's contribution to the study of phonological, syntactic and semantic language processing, as well as the recent interest in connections between language and motor systems. Chapter Two describes linguistically focused intensive group therapy and discusses the specific needs of adolescents and young adults with acquired aphasia. Chapter Three presents a case report of a patient with post-traumatic aphasia. Chapter Four provides details about subcortical aphasia, which is a language disorder caused by injuries in subcortical areas, such as the basal ganglia, white matter tracts, and thalamus, but not by injuries in cortical language areas, such as Wernicke's and Broca's areas"--
This book will critically examine the "do's" & "don'ts" in adapting tests for cross-cultural assessment and research.
