Presentation Summary by Geovani Hoyos

 Presentation Summary by Geovani Hoyos

I found these presentations to be very informative. It is interesting to learn about different conditions and disabilities. I think these are topics that should be taught in middle school and high school. I will try to summarize what I learned from the presentations.

Deaf/Hard of Hearing and Speech Impairment

My group went first, and our group presentation was on the topics of deaf/hard of hearing and speech impairment. We talked about how the ear is divided into three parts: the outer ear, middle ear, and inner ear and three types of hearing losses: conductive, sensorineural, and a mix between the two.

Next, we presented on language and speech impairments. It makes it hard for children and adults to communicate with others. The most common type of speech impairment is stuttering. We learned about the mechanisms of speech which are respiratory, phonatory, resonatory, and articulation. We also learned about American and other countries perspectives on sign language. America's language in sign language is foreign from other countries; it is known as American Sign Language, also known as ASL. Other countries have their own sign language.

Traumatic Brain Injury and Autism Spectrum

An awful cerebrum injury, known as TBI, is a physical issue that influences how the brain functions. Anybody can go through TBI, however a few groups are at more serious danger of getting a TBI or having worse results after the injury. In the United States, TBI is a critical reason for death and handicap. Every year 1.5 million Americans sustain a TBI. Mild cerebrum injury brings about migraine, unsteadiness, ringing in the ears, and surprisingly obscured vision. Moderate injury can likewise have a more extreme and perpetual cerebral pain, regurgitating, and failure to talk accurately. severe cerebrum injury incorporates the entirety of the above mentioned and can likewise contain spasms, seizures, and loss of consciousness for quite a while. The most well-known reason for traumatic brain injury are falls, and it happens for the most part to kids and the older. The second most regular is hitting the head with something; this can happen deliberately or unexpectedly, contingent upon the circumstance. The third most common reason for TBI is auto collisions.

Autism is a range of conditions that challenge social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication. there are different forms of autism and are influenced by their environment and or genetics. There are six leading associations that aid with vital information and assistance (national and local) Autism Society of Florida, National Autism Association, Autism Society of America, Autism Research Institute, Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative, and Autistic Self Advocacy Network.

Intellectual Disability and Psychological Disorders

            Dyscalculia, which is a particular learning disability that influences an individual's capacity to get numbers and learn math. Dysgraphia, which is a particular learning incapacity that influences an individual's penmanship capacity and fine motor abilities. Dyslexia, which is a particular learning inability that influences perusing and related language-based processing abilities. Schizophrenia, in which individuals decipher reality unusually with visualizations, fantasies and confused reasoning. The mental trips can influence every one of the feelings of a schizophrenic individual influencing his/her ordinary life as numerous schizophrenic people cannot differ the hallucinations from the truth.

            Overall, this discussion seemed to have peaked everyone’s interest and has taught us not only technical content, but a greater understanding and respect for people afflicted with these conditions. I’m glad to have been a part of this presentation both in producing my own with my group and listening to the other groups.

Reflection Chapters 3, 9 and 10 by Arlys Morente

 SPC1017-225-2990                                                   My reflection on Chapters 3, 9 and 10    Arlys Morente  By watching and listing to the presentations of my classmates I've was able to retain lot of important information I didn't know before. I had section 3-2 and 3-2b which were race and ethnicity. In my research I got to know more about race and the different cultures. Like race is usually associated with biology and linked with the physical characteristics of each person. Such as their hair texture  or skin color yet people of similar complexions or hair textures can be defined as different races.  And I also gathered information about ethnicity like that its a broader term than race. The term is mostly used to categorize different groups of people. ...

Reflection on Chapters 3,9 and 10

  Reflection on Chapters 3,9, and 10 By: Amanda Caballero Through watching all the presentations, I've learned a lot of information to apply to my real everyday life. These chapters go inadept on topics like Intercultural Communication, Communicating in Groups and Group Leadership and Problem Solving. Intercultural Communication is something we deal with all the time. So many people have to communicate with other people from different cultural backgrounds for there jobs or in there communities. How do people develop intercultural communication skills? To develop that skill, you can start by learning about the culture by reading articles or books or listening to podcasts. There is some potential barriers that stop people from trying to learn the skill. Some barriers are Anxiety, Stereotyping, Assumptions and Language. Many people also find much difficulties in communicating in groups. There are so many different types of groups like Families, Friend groups, Virtu...

disabilities reflection by Francisco Alcantara

with the presentations on disabilities, just like the first presentations that we did, I have learned a lot of new stuff. learning about the disabilities, their history, the different agencies that help people with disabilities and watching those wonderful interviews has been a great experience. For me, the most interesting disabilities, and the ones that I mostly learn about were: the deafness, which has an interesting background as deaf people in the past used to be persecuted by religious people because they couldn’t hear the word of god. With the time, deaf people were slowly being introduced to the society, special schools for deaf people were created, the sign language was improved, organizations and events for deaf people were created and devices to improve the hearing were invented. The speech impairment, which is mostly found in children and is the most common childhood disability. It has different types and depending on the type of speech impairment, it can affect the tone ...
