If you are a parent or teacher working with individuals who struggle to process auditory and sensory information, you will find that this book offers new understanding of these problems, and most importantly, explains the intervention called Berard auditory integration training (AIT). This 10-hour training program reorganizes the dysfunctional auditory and sensory center so the brain no longer gets overloaded with confusing information.

Evaluation of learning and behavior difficulties should include how the individual hears. Are there di...

Life...Real & Imagined is a collection of fourteen short stories by acclaimed bassist Tony Markellis, one of whose favorite pastimes is the observation and appreciation of his fellow humans wherever his many travels may take him. An eternal student of anthropology, he is fascinated by people and their languages, their customs, their cuisines, their origins, and their aspirations. In the preface to the book he says, "We are all alike in so many ways, but that's not what makes life interesting, is it? It's the differences between us that make life worth living. These stories deal with people of many ages, races, nationalities, religions and walks of life, and are one man's attempt to understand them. Some of these tales are eyewitness accounts of actual events (if perhaps embellished a bit); and some of them are pure fiction. I'll leave it to you to decide which ones are which."
This powerful book explores how institutions of higher education can successfully serve breakaway studentsfirst-generation, low-income students who are trying to break away from the past in order to create a more secure future. The gap between low-SES and high-SES students persists as efforts to close it have not met with great success. In this provocative book, Gross offers a new approach to addressing inequities by focusing on students who have succeeded despite struggling with the impacts of poverty and trauma. Gross draws on her experience as a college president to outline practical steps that post-secondary institutions can take to create structures of support and opportunity that build reciprocal trust. Students must trust their institutions and professors, professors must trust their students, and eventually students must learn to trust themselves.

Emily Dickinsons words may be well known to students, but they may know very little of her quiet solitary life. This text positions her work within the political climate in which she lived, the culture and expectations for an educated young woman of the day, and discusses what it meant to be a poet during the American Civil War. Through critical analysis of her themes, language, and style and direct quotations from Dickinsons many correspondences, readers will learn how to think about and understand the works of Emily Dickinson.
For years, an unsuspecting United States did not know that its entire defense establishment, from security satellites to requisition orders, fed all that data into a Chinese supercomputer hidden deep within Beijing. When the invasion force struck and wiped out the entire U.S. Pacific fleet, a full conquest of America seemed certain. At first. But where there are computers, there are also programmers, and the fate of the world may lie in one pair of hands: those belonging to the elusive and secretive Ox, the only one who knows how the Chinese were able to pull off their daring cyberattack. Among the many choices facing U.S. President Elizabeth Rutledge is whether to trust Ox and how far; how best to cripple the Chinese; and whether the Union should even be saved. In "The Ox Factor" novelist Richard Duvall explores the unthinkable scenario: a powerful foreign invasion in direct conflict with the indomitable spirit only to be found in the average American. Not to be missed
