Drawing on a three-year post-critical ethnography, this volume counters deficit-based notions of disability to present a new social and dialogic theory of thinking and learning for students with significant support needs. Dismantling ideas around ableism/disableism, Social and Dialogic Thinking and Learning offers a uniquely theoretical and conceptual contribution to special education and capability research. Illustrating how students exhibit varied practical, social, and creative abilities, possess agency and perform identity, chapters present a challenge to the restrictive ways in which disability is constructed through prescriptive forms of teacher-student interaction and instruction. The text ultimately offers a powerful re-imagining of how educators and researchers can perceive, observe, and respond to students beyond current institutional and cultural norms. This text will benefit researchers, academics, and educators with an interest in inclusion and special educational needs, disability studies, and the theories of learning more broadly. Those specifically interested in educational psychology and the study of severe, profound, and multiple learning difficulties will also benefit from this book.

Lil Iverson is a lovely Christian mom who has been standing on the promises of God for her daughter for almost two years. She has just awakened from a visit to the Garden of Blessings. In these dreams she is actually able to see her daughter, Amy, and talk to her. Amy has been in a coma for nearly two years, and it has been such a comfort for Lil to be able to visit with her daughter in this way. In her most recent dream, Amy had been very happy that Lil was there, for it was a special time in the garden. Amy had said, Oh Mommy, its so good that you can be here to see the angels come and get the blessings from the children to take to the people who need them. Lil had watched as these beautiful beings that seemed to be filled with light came and received something from each of the children, and then the angels would just turn away and simply disappear. The thing that Lil loved was that the children seemed to be such an important part of what was happening. What a wonderful blessing for the children to be made a part of this glorious ceremony! Thank you, Lord, and thank you so much for allowing me to witness this.
The achievement gap is a persistent and perplexing challenge for educators. While school- and system-level reforms continue to be discussed in statehouses and district offices, individual teachers are challenged to do something now to help students who are falling short of standards, including students who are English language learners and receiving special education services. A companion to the ASCD best-seller Improving Student Learning One Teacher at a Time, this book identifies small, specific adjustments to planning, teaching, and assessment practices that will support more effective learning in every student, every day, and help close the achievement gap on a classroom-by-classroom basis. Here, you'll learn how to * Use readily available tools--curriculum documents, a plan book, and a grade book--to improve all students' access to, interaction with, and mastery of lesson content. * Design daily lessons that clarify learning goals and require students to use high-yield learning strategies, seek feedback, and reflect on their progress. * Promote the progress of English language learners through coordinated pursuit of content and language goals, and synchronize instruction to improve the performance of special education students in both co-teaching and resource environments. This book also features the voices of working educators who share how "minding the gap" has helped them engage academically at-risk students, ELLs, and special education students; improve students' test scores; and sustain these gains over time. If you are a classroom teacher or specialist committed to helping all your students become more successful learners and unwilling to wait for high-level solutions or even the results of another "data retreat," then this is just the resource you need.
Defiance in the Family follows the treatment of childhood and adolescent defiance through therapy, from intake to termination. The authors take a unique view of defiance as an expression of a child's worry for a family that is not working properly and as the child's means of protecting the inner self in the face of family turmoil.
“How on earth did you get up there?” And the speaker put his glass in his eye, and coolly surveyed the dainty figure perched on one of the branches of the huge elm, under which he was standing. “That is the last place I expected to find you.” “I suppose so,” she answered composedly; for Lady Gwendolyn was never flustered or ill at ease under the most trying circumstances. “The fact is, I have had an unpleasant adventure.” “Indeed; I am very sorry. But hadn’t you better let me help you down before we talk it over; unless you like your quarters so well that you are inclined to stay there, and, in that case, I will join you.” “Nonsense, Colonel Dacre!” but she laughed, too. “What would Mrs. Grundy say to such an extraordinary tête-à-tête?” “She would say that it had the merit of novelty; and, considering how tired one is of everything that has happened, and how bored at the thought of prospective repetitions, I consider that any one who strikes out a new line for himself, and refuses to lag along in the old groove, deserves to be canonized.” “Well, it is very nice when people will be a little original, certainly; but I am not sure that a woman dare get out of the old groove. Moreover, you men like pretty nonentities.” “The deuce we do!” exclaimed Colonel Dacre. “Who told you that?” “Nobody. One does not need telling things when one has eyes and ears. I have seen you dance as often as four times in one evening with Mrs. O’Hara.”
The love of animals can touch our lives. Often we learn life's most valuable lessons from our four-legged friends. But sometimes that love is met with ruthless abuse, neglect and mistreatment. In this collection of uplifting stories for all ages, you will meet some remarkable horses who have lived through unthinkable pain and suffering, but because of some special "angels" who weren't afraid to get involved, have triumphed over the pain they endured to be given a "Second Chance". You will feel their pain and then celebrate their joy as they journey from abuse to the safety of loving hands and hearts. Their stories are nothing less than miracles, and their spirits are inspiring.
Seventeen short stories and novelettes compose Whispers and Screams. While these stories are from the realms of horror, science fiction, and fantasy, they are also stories about people, about loneliness, insanity, love, politics, philosophy, food, power, about human feelings and behavior in these dynamic times. A large number of the protagonists are minorities or women. Many of the stories owe their heritage to the black-and-white horror movies of the late thirties and forties and the B-grade science fiction of the fifties. "Proteus Rex" is about a genetically engineered life-form that adapts the attributes of animals (a lion's strength, a bird's wings) or whatever his survival needs and infinite appetites dictate. Having consumed all the animal life in a small rural community, he begins to eat people. Much of the story is about the local authority's attempt to identify and apprehend this menace, a significant challenge as Proteus Rex is an extradimensional being that can change his size to as small as an amoeba to as large as a blue whale. "Proteus Rex" is populated by a deep cast of characters, only a few of whom manage not to get eaten. Imagine the actress Lucy Liu portraying Ian Fleming's most shrewd creation, James Bond, 007. Only she's working for TSA—the Teleportation Security Administration—three hundred years in the future. This is after World War VI, and the United States has been fractured into several independent nations. The two Koreas have united and is running the world. Executive Action Officer Sun Park's mission is to capture or neutralize the perpetrators that sent and detonated an atomic bomb in the TSA X-port Freight Hub in Buenos Aires. This is the premise of "The Price of a Dog," an action-driven novella, a political science fiction thriller. In the short story "Slaves of the Cat Goddess," Buster, the main character (and stooge of General Wanamaker), is charged to take the mysterious cat Bast to a secret research base. Bast's size and ferocity force a crash landing on an uncharted tropical island inhabited by cannibals. Knowing that it was Buster who was responsible for her mutation, Bast not only protects him in this hostile world, but she sees that he is elevated, serving as the ambassador between the goddess Bast and the humanity she would enslave.

A young black woman visits Africa on a quest for peace, meaning, and love in “a beautiful allegory at the heart of a realist novel . . . A strong book” (Chris Abani, author of The Secret History of Las Vegas). In 1986 Detroit, twenty-one-year-old Angie is still mourning the death of her brilliant, radical sister, Ella, when she impulsively decides to pack up and go to the place where Ella tragically died four years before: Nigeria. There, Angie retraces her sister’s steps, all the while navigating the chaotic landscape of a major African country on the brink of democracy and careening toward a coup d’état. At the center of her quest is a love affair that upends everything Angie thought she knew about herself. Against a backdrop of Nigeria’s infamous “go-slow”—traffic as wild and unpredictable as the country itself—Angie begins to unravel the mysteries of the past, and opens herself up to love and life after Ella.

Franklin D. Roosevelt famously called December 7, 1941, "a date which will live in infamy." History would prove him correct; the events of that day -- when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor -- ended the Great Depression, changed the course of FDR's presidency, and swept America into World War II. In Pearl Harbor, acclaimed historian Steven M. Gillon provides a vivid, minute-by-minute account of Roosevelt's skillful leadership in the wake of the most devastating military assault in American history. FDR proved both decisive and deceptive, inspiring the nation while keeping the real facts of the attack a secret from congressional leaders and the public. Pearl Harbor explores the anxious and emotional events surrounding the attack on Pearl Harbor, showing how the president and the American public responded in the pivotal twenty-four hours that followed, a period in which America burst from precarious peace into total war.

Well; I can sure say that my life did not turn out the way I expected. My life did not turn out how anyone would expect. I never thought that I would commit a crime and get arrested, but I did. I never thought that I would end up being a shemale sissy maid, but I did. I never thought that I would fall in love with and marry a lesbian, but I did. I never thought that I would live my life as a submissive to a dominate Lady, but I do. I never thought that I would become an attorney and save the innocent from going to prison, but I have. I never thought that I would be able to look at someone and ask a few questions and know what was wrong with them and save their life, but I have, several times. I never thought that I would infiltrate the Russian Mob and save the lives of 39 young ladies, but I did. I never thought that I would be in a position to help the FBI, Interpol and Lloyds of London solve kidnapping crimes, but I have. I never thought that I would become a psychologist, but I have. I never thought that I would marry a financial genus that would make me almost 50 million dollars in less than 4 years, but I did, I never thought that my life would be so diverse and exciting in many different ways, but it is. Just in the past 6 weeks alone; I have saved the life of Molly, my mother in law, I saved a family of 11 from needing to sell 10 of their kidneys just to survive, I calmed the minds and hearts of Mindy, Toni, Sabrina, and Cally concerning the newest member of our unusual family concerning the arrival of a real dominate ALPA male who Ally brought home and fell in love with, I was working with the FBI, Interpol, and Lloyds of London in solving the kidnapping of 8 men, I took on a criminal case involving Allys new Love; whereas he was arrested for caning a young lady in a BDSM relationship.

I guess this is a good place to end this book as once again; you are caught up with the most unusual life that Cally and I share with our unusual family. However, once again my life with Cally never seems to be dull anymore. In fact, my life with Cally has never been dull; it is just more exciting since we got married almost a year ago. Milly has been progressing very well as her sissy maid self under the direction of Miss T. As well; Molly seems to accept and even enjoy milly better now. Sabrina certainly enjoys sissy maid milly as she gets three days off each week now that she has milly to fill in for her. Sir certainly has brought a lot of excitement to the house and that excitement seems to still be growing as he seeks to dominate everyone in the house and not just us maids and Ally and Toni. Sir getting arrested certainly presents me with a big challenge as although I do not believe that he has actually committed a crime; I do believe that innocent people go to prison because people on juries do not believe that they should live their lives in any way unlike the way society demands of them. In other words, if they do not like what Sir did and the District Attorney says it was wrong, they just agree and give it no more thought. I disobeyed a direct order from Cally for the very first time. Cally let me know that that was unacceptable in a very painful and very humiliating way. I don’t think I will make that mistake again, at least I hope not. Cally and I went to the most unusual place in South America in cooperation with Lloyds of London, the FBI, and Interpol; in an effort to find out why men were disappearing from FemDom Nation; a community of Dominate women and male submissives. FemDom Nation is sort of like a hotel for vacationing Dominate women and Submissive males. People from all over the world come there to enjoy their life style for a few days to a few weeks. Submissive men can go their alone or with a dominate female. Dominate women are welcome with or without a submissive male. It was really a neat place and Cally and I had a very nice time. However our time was cut short as a result of Sir getting arrested, so we came home early and without meeting our objective in order to help out Sir and Ally. Cally and I need to go back again to complete our mission, but Cally decided to wait until after Thanksgiving.
