Abstract

"Dear Kit and Scully, your mission is to learn about autism. On this quest you will need to investigate the human brain and learn about diversity."

What do you know about autism? Whether you know a little or a lot, you are invited to explore your understanding of the autism spectrum and discover something new by joining detectives Scully and Kit on their investigation. As Scully and Kit interview six ordinary children, follow the clues and see if you can guess which of them are autistic.

Abstract

The social world is a big, complicated place that requires us to constantly figure out hidden rules in situations to help us make sense of how we are all interpreting and responding to each other?s actions and reactions. This book teaches students how to recognize and develop social skills. Every one of us is a Social Detective. We are good Social Detectives when we use our eyes, ears, and brains to figure out what others are planning to do next or are presently doing and what they mean by their words and deeds. This extensively expanded and revised 2nd edition provides all-new illustrations that reflect a broader range of inclusion and diversity in characters, a structured approach to observation, and new and updated lessons which include practice for readers as they learn to become social detectives?a skill set that can then be used everywhere they go, whether it?s at home, school, or within the community. Interventionists will find specific teaching tips and an expanded glossary of Social Thinking Vocabulary and concepts to guide young readers in exploring tools to help them make smart guesses to ultimately figure out the social emotional chain reaction. Enjoy watching your students and own children blossom day-by-day into successful Social Detectives!

Abstract

La douleur peut s'immiscer dans notre vie de diverses façons et bouleverser notre quotidien. Lorsqu'elle devient chronique, elle peut nous faire souffrir autant physiquement que moralement. Le but de cet ouvrage est de remonter jusqu'aux racines de la douleur, sous toutes ses formes, pour mieux la comprendre et ainsi mieux la traiter et la soulager.

Puisant dans sa vaste expérience auprès de milliers de patients, le Dr Brouillard y livre des explications éclairantes sur les causes physiques et psychologiques de la douleur. Surtout, il présente un éventail d'avenues possibles pour s'en libérer, des plus récentes percées médicales aux approches complémentaires, sans oublier les solutions naturelles, applicables à la maison.

À l'aide de techniques souvent simples et en favorisant une meilleure connaissance de nous-mêmes, il nous fournit tous les outils nécessaires pour reprendre en mains notre santé et enfin vivre plus librement.

Abstract

In One Without the Other: Stories of Unity Through Diversity and Inclusion, Shelley Moore explores the changing landscape of inclusive education. Presented through real stories from her own classroom experience, this passionate and creative educator tackles such things as inclusion as a philosophy and practice, the difference between integration and inclusion, and how inclusion can work with a variety of students and abilities. Explorations of differentiation, the role of special education teachers and others, and universal design for learning all illustrate the evolving discussion on special education and teaching to all learners. This book will be of interest to all educators, from special ed teachers, educational assistants and resource teachers, to classroom teachers, administrators, and superintendents.

Abstract

" Tu es tout pour moi ", " je n'ai besoin de personne ", " nous ne faisons qu'un ", " être ensemble est insupportable mais nous quitter est impossible ".. . Angoisse d'abandon, mécanismes d'isolement ou désir de fusion à l'autre, sont divers visages d'un même phénomène : la dépendance affective. Comment la reconnaître ? D'où vient-elle ? Peut-on s'en libérer ? À travers des témoignages riches et éclairants, ce livre met au jour les origines familiales et généalogiques des dépendances affectives : accaparement de l'enfant par le parent, emprise, désamour, violences et abus, traumatismes transmis de génération en génération... Surtout, il nous invite à mobiliser les ressources dont nous disposons pour accéder à la liberté d'être soi. Le choix d'une vie non plus subie mais incarnée, même s'il est difficile, nous appartient.

Developmental Disability

Abstract

Bonjour ! Je m?appelle Camille. J?ai 9 ans. Je collectionne les figurines, j?adore les chevaux et le théâtre et je suis? très maladroite. En fait, j?ai un handicap qui s?appelle la dyspraxie. Sais-tu ce que c?est ? En fait, la dyspraxie (ou trouble d?acquisition de la coordination) est un trouble neurologique qui affecte la capacité à planifier, à organiser et à automatiser les gestes moteurs pour réaliser une action. En d?autres termes, c?est une difficulté à effectuer les bons mouvements. Destiné aux enfants d?âge scolaire et à leurs parents, cet album documentaire présente, un peu à la manière d?un scrapbook réalisé par un enfant, l?histoire de Camille, qui est dyspraxique. Simple et concret, cet ouvrage de vulgarisation explique aux enfants, dans leurs mots, ce qu?est la dyspraxie. Camille y aborde les difficultés et les questionnements liés à son intégration scolaire, à sa vie de famille et aux divers défis psychosociaux qu?entraîne sa condition. Plusieurs trucs concrets et conseils avisés agrémentent cet ouvrage illustré par les enfants de l?École Saint-Jean-Baptiste à Jonquière.
