Learning From The History Of Language Oppression: Educators As Agents Of Language Justice, Sandra Rodriguez-Arroyo, Ferial Pearson

Journal of Curriculum, Teaching, Learning and Leadership in Education

There is a long history in this country of language oppression that has led to policies currently in place that affect the way educators are asked to teach. Therefore, educators must understand national and local language policy to know how it affects their students and how they can perform their duties as educators. Even though the U.S. does not have an official language, states have enacted language policies through court decisions and legislation. These policies have led to students being denied access to English as a Second Language (ESL) and bilingual education programs, resources, and accommodations, all of which lead …

Providing Students With Multimodal Feedback Experiences, Dan Martin

Journal of Curriculum, Teaching, Learning and Leadership in Education

In higher education, feedback is an effective but underappreciated teaching tool that expands students’ opportunities for learning. Students need more formative feedback that can lead to dialogic experiences, and they need more feedback experiences in different mediums and modes. Providing students with multimodal feedback that is formative may lead to more dialogic experiences for students and improve their learning. Multimodal feedback experiences benefit all students, including those from diverse and disabled communities. This paper examines some of the advantages and limitations of written, audio, and video feedback and argues that feedback that is primarily formative and delivered using multiple modes …

Speech and Hearing Sciences ETDs

Currently there is a gap in the literature in understanding the relationship between the newly categorized primary outcome measure of discourse and secondary outcomes related to psychosocial impact, such as participation, psychological impact, social well-being, or mood. In a large sample of persons with stroke-induced aphasia (N=115), this study analyzed discourse samples using main concept analysis to determine how discourse performance correlates with the secondary outcome measures ALA, CCRSA, GDS, and CIQ. As a secondary research question, the differences in these relationships dependent on severity was also explored. Results showed statistically significant positive correlations between main concepts (MCs) and ALA …

Kienböck's Disease In A Patient With Hemiparetic Stroke: A Casereport, Pao-Sheng Wu, Yen-Ting Cho

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Kienböck's disease of the wrist is a multifactorial, progressive osteonecrosis of the lunate bone. Patients with this disease often complain of dorsal wrist pain and other wrist dysfunctions. Image studies are usually required for definite diagnosis; however, careful history taking and physical examination are also necessary. Treatment varies according to the stage of the disease; although surgery is needed in most of the cases, rehabilitation after the surgery seems helpful as well. Kienböck's disease is rarely seen in our daily practice, and even though we do recognize the disease, diagnosing it correctly in patients with comorbidities such as stroke is …

Coinstantaneous Brachial Plexus Injuries In A 55-Year-Old Man With Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury: A Casereport And Literature Reviewarticle, Hong-Yi Lin, Jia-Yin Guo, Su-Ju Tsai

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

脊髓損傷合併臂神經叢損傷臨床上少見且不易診斷與處置。過去研究的報告發生率約為0.6％到1.8％。在脊髓損傷的病人處置時，通常優先處理危及生命的傷害，且臂神經叢損傷的臨床表現也可能歸因於脊髓損傷而被忽略。本文報告一名55歲因車禍意外導致第四節脊髓損傷的男性病人，根據病人的身體檢查、神經學檢查發現右上肢深肌腱反射無反應，以及明顯不對稱的右上肢與左上肢肌力，經過神經傳導檢查及肌電圖檢查，確定該名病人為脊髓損傷合併臂神經叢損傷。同時罹患脊髓損傷及臂神經叢損傷的病人數量可能被低估，治療計畫及復健也更為複雜，早期診斷與適當治療是此類病人上肢功能恢復的重要關鍵。除了詳細探查脊髓損傷病人的臨床症狀、身體檢查、神經學檢查之外，電學診斷對於合併臂神經叢損傷的確診最有效益。
