It is not unheard of for a child under five years old (Daily Mail, Friday, April 30, 2010) to be expelled from school at least five times... The child cannot control his behaviour, or should I rather say, his mother cannot control him, but has the cheek to blame everybody else, apart from herself. And of course, the child is always excused, because he suffers from....a litany of illnesses or other family misfortunes. Yes, this mother of three lost her husband and has lots on her plate bringing the other...

For the most part, the law is relatively standardized across state lines. However most attorneys are only licensed to practice law in one specific state. What this means, for example, is even though an attorney may practice in Bloomington, MN or Minneapolis, MN, that same attorney may be unable to provide legal services or advice to a person in Wisconsin, a mere 15 miles away. The exception to the rule is any licensed attorney is able to represent in the federal court system. This can be crucially important to those individuals that are at much higher risk to lose their individual rights, such as special needs individuals, developmentally disabled individuals, or those who have suffered a personal...

In that report, the CDC found that nearly one in five adults reported having a disability. The number of individuals with disabilities grew by 3.4 million between 1995-2005.

We are all familiar with the alarming rise of Type 2 Diabetes facing today's generation. But there is another health concern that is facing baby boomers that is not as heard about as much in the media ... and that is hearing loss. An estimated 28 million Americans suffer hearing loss. As baby boomers reach retirement age, that number is expected to nearly double by 2030. Currently, only one out of five persons who would benefit from wearing a hearing aid actually uses one. Constant exposure to loud noise, or exposure to sudden, loud noises such as explosions or fire crackers, is known to create what is called noise induced hearing loss, which can be a permanent condition. The hair cells, nerve...

money meets science and political correctness gets in the way, sometimes we lose sight of what we were aiming for. The evolution of Baby Sign Language is perfect example of this where an original and very useful program has evolved into something so different it doesn't even have the same function. I pose the question - why are all flocking in droves to spend money to teach our children the language of the deaf community and where did baby sign language go? Baby Sign Language research started over 30 years ago, almost simultaneously taking place in two camps, Joseph Garcia in one and Linda Acredolo and Susan Goodwyn in the other. Joseph Garcia, as sign language interpreter, had a wide network of...

Have you ever noticed that people who have let's say hearing disabilities seem to have their other senses more keen or can do something else better than others? One thing I have always found dealing with people of let's say a disability is that they are generally able to make up for it somewhere else. For instance if someone's eyesight is gone they have great space unused in their visual area which takes up let's say 55% of the brain's over all bandwidth, thus this extra capacity is now available for something else? Now then let's talk about Autism, which I do not believe Autism is a disability or even a disease really, as it seems that those with Autism have their brains wired just a little...
