by the attorney of the nature and characteristics of the proceedings, a thorough review of the SLP's testimony, and extensive rehearsal are the key elements of a successful relationship and |
the necessary ingredients to maximize the potential for a positive outcome for the client," according to Lew Golinker, an attorney with the Assistive Technology Law Center in Ithaca, NY. SLPs |
need to know the procedures involved in the filing of charges and questioning of clients. When a client who does not use speech for expressive communication is questioned, new challenges |
emerge. Procedural rules create the need for new or different types of practices or procedures in AAC. The conversations between the SLP and the client, the programming of AAC device, |
and the rules for conversations during court proceedings must be understood in advance; if not, the case may be thrown out or introduce "reasonable doubt," possibly affecting the outcome of |
the case. In addition, procedural rules for legal proceedings demand that testimony during depositions and during a trial be the same. The person with a disability as well as SLPs |
need to understand the necessity for consistency and reliability of response every time the same question is asked and answered. Further, when communicating through alternative forms for expressive communication, it |
may be difficult to convey to a PWCCN—especially one with intellectual disability—the meaning of "testifying under oath." If the communication is through graphic symbols, what does the symbol for "oath" |
look like? (See page 7 for a photo that has been used to communicate this concept.) The person with a disability should understand what to expect and what is expected |
prior to testifying in court. The SLP should realize, and explain to the client, that testimony during a police investigation is different from testifying in court, especially during cross-examination. Often, |
contact with police in filing a complaint is brief, and courtroom procedures often occur long after the initial complaint. This time lapse may prove challenging for a witness who has |
difficulty with long-term memory, and the SLP may need to find ways to remind the client about past events without leading the person to the "correct" answer. Litigation consultation is |
a relatively new arena for SLPs. Legal advocacy for PWCCN is a complex process that is only beginning to be identified and understood by professionals in the field of AAC. |
While involvement in legal issues is an exciting extension of practice, SLPs should pursue additional education before entering into the legal arena (see sidebar for resources). During courtroom cross-examination, the |
written reports and professional credibility of the SLP are as much in question as the capacities of the person with a disability. With appropriate knowledge and skills, advocating for justice |
ASIA NEWS NETWORK WE KNOW ASIA BETTER Publication Date : 04-09-2012 With health and wellness gaining prominence in people’s wish lists, there is now a growing awareness of healthier choices. Here are more answers for your myriad of options. Pick |
a wellness plan that will suit you best. Please explain—what’s all the fuss over over nitrates and nitrites? Multiple choice: Which meal would you consider supportive of brain health? a) Scrambled eggs cooked in butter plus a generous topping of |
cheese and sour cream b) Green salad with lean chicken or turkey ham topped with low-fat Caesar salad dressing. A is the healthier meal. For one, eggs are nutritious and are considered brain food. Vegetables are very good for you; |
however, we do not know about the toppings. Perhaps the ham is laced with preservatives and additives, including aspartame and nitrite. By itself, nitrite isn’t so bad. But when it is eaten, it can transform into nitrosamine compounds, considered potent |
cancer-causing chemicals. This occurs when a chemical reaction happens between nitrate (added to food) and amines (found in protein that is present in the body). Added to processed foods, this chemical, also known as sodium nitrite or potassium nitrite, prevents |
the contamination of foods by controlling the toxin production of clostridium botulinum (which causes botulism). In the US, these chemicals are allowed to be used, setting the limit to one part nitrite to 120 parts per million. Nitrates for fertilisers |
are suspected to enter the food and water supply. And this is why proper farming is a big issue. Nitrite and nitrosamine are linked with increased cancer of the colon, lung, pancreas, liver, etc. How to neutralise nitrite poisoning? Take |
megadoses of vitamin C and E, beta-carotene and flavonoids. Visit your dentist How do I cure bad breath? Would you believe that billions of bacteria, fungi, viruses and parasites live in our mouths? It’s true. There are over 600 species |
of bacteria that claim our mouths as their home. An overgrowth of bacteria leads to tooth decay and gum disease. It could, one day, lead to tooth loss. If you are brushing, flossing and gargling regularly, then you shouldn’t have |
a real problem. But if you don’t, then it’s time to visit your dentist. Dental plaque, a sticky, grainy film that grows on teeth due to the mixture of bacteria with the sugars and starches from the food you eat, |
causes bad breath. Tartar is the hardened plaque build-up after so much dental neglect. Brush or floss twice daily, thrice if you can. Do not sleep without doing your cleansing ritual. Eradicate parasites from your tummy. Looking at yourself in |
the mirror and then smiling is a practice that can get you started on better dental health. Run your tongue over your teeth. If it feels grainy, then it’s time for your dental check-up and cleaning. Make it a habit |
to take two acidophilus (good bacteria) capsules daily. Consider digestive enzymes, one to three tablets daily or eat fresh, raw (uncooked) fruits and vegetables. Juice fresh veggies/fruits as your morning starter, tonic and cleanser. Chlorophyll tablets could be taken. Steep |
parsley leaves in hot water and sip as a tea. Rule out parasites. See your doctor. Alternation to steroids Are there any legal and natural supplements as an alternative to steroids? I am a professional athlete. Yes there are. Called |
branched chain amino acids (BCAA’s), these are compound of leucine, valine and isoleucine. Considered natural anabolic muscle-building supplements, they are a principal source of calories for the human muscle, especially effective during an intense workout. BCAAs can also reduce the |

Smoke signals, drum telegraphs, and the marathon runner are all examples of man’s effort to conquer the tyranny of distance. However, the first truly successful solution to the problem of rapidly transmitting language across space was the Frenchman Claude Chappe’s optical telegraph. Chappe's chain of stone towers, topp... |
poles and 14-ft. pivoting cross members, and spaced as far apart as the eye could see, was first demonstrated to the public in March of 1791 on the Champs Elysees. Chappe created a language of 9,999 words, each represented by a different position of the swinging arms. When operated by |
well-trained optical telegraphers, the system was extraordinarily quick. Messages could be transmitted up to 150 miles in two minutes. Eventually the French military saw the value of Chappe’s invention, and lines of his towers were built out from Paris to Dunkirk and Strasbourg. Within a decade, a network of optical |
telegraph lines crisscrossed the nation. When Napoleon seized power in 1799, he used the optical telegraph to dispatch the message, “Paris is quiet and the good citizens are content.” Renovated in 1998, the optical telegraph next to the Rohan Castle in Saverne functioned as part of the Strasbourg line from |

Taking a sample is just the beginning and preserving and processing specimens requires more than just the e-word. Having completed eight dives, at least sixteen shore excursions, one nightlighting session, |
six trips to the fish markets, several roadside purchases and a surprise swim up to a fishing boat, the scientists have well and truly justified that purchase of 90 litres |
of ethanol on Day 1. On each trip the preserving began in the field and continued back at our accommodation. The specimens will soon be shipped to the Museum where |
a thorough analysis can be performed, possibly including SEM photography and DNA sequencing. After that, identifications can be confirmed if necessary and scientific papers can be published. So how did |
the scientists start to process their samples here in Timor? I spoke with about half the team to find out (because talking to all of them would've made this post |
longer than a Dead Sea scroll). Lauren studies amphipods, an order of crustaceans, and was picking samples from dive sites (and one nightlighting session) with these small (usually less then |
10mm) creatures in mind. She uses the freshwater dip method which means placing her substrate samples in a bucket of tap water as it encourages saltwater animals to release from |
their holds. Lauren then elutriated (swirled) the bucket, causing the heavier sediment to fall to the bottom and the lighter amphipods to rise to the top. The swirling water was |
slowly tipped out into a sieve. What was filtered out was then placed in a tray and examined for animals, which were picked up with forceps or pipettes and placed |
into jars of ethanol. After that, the habitat samples that remained in the bucket were also placed in the tray and similarly examined for fauna. We had a team of |
five fish scientists (dubbed ‘the fishos’) on this trip who worked together to process their samples and make strange, bawdy jokes whenever possible. While they did collect samples at the |
fish markets, the vast majority of their specimens were taken on dives and kept in plastic bags of seawater (in eskies) until they returned to camp. Hijacking the dinner table |
for hours at a time, their processing often looked and sounded like question time at Parliament, but on closer examination was actually a highly organised and efficient affair. Their processing |
started with placing the fishes into trays and tubs of ice, dividing the day’s catch roughly by type. From there the team began to identify the fishes, with each member |
focussing on those species they specialise in: Barry covered the wrasses, for example, and Jeff the cardinal fishes. They would often check with each other, however, and consult the stack |
of reference books they brought with them. Once a fish was named it would go to Mark for photographing, sometimes having their fins pinned out if they had distinctive colours. |
Sally was the chief scribe during all of this, recording names, sizes and number of specimens, as well as writing small labels for Mark to photograph with the fishes. If |
a fish was identified as one that hadn't been previously collected on the trip, then it would go to Amanda who would extract a small piece of muscle tissue with |
a scalpel and place it into a vial of DMSO solution (which is conducive to DNA analysis). The rest of the fish would be placed in formalin. Penny came on |
this trip to collect crustaceans and fishes and was involved in the processing of invertebrate samples. Like Lauren, Penny did most of her sorting in a tray, but her samples |
remained in saltwater until they were picked out and placed in jars of ethanol. From experience she was able to remove large pieces of reef rock from the tray that |
were unlikely to contain animals (those that shake ‘clean’ in the water for example) and make use of chisels to break down the likely ones (those with cracks and crevices). |
Nerida and Greg frequently collected sediment from the ocean floor, elutriating at the back of the boat and transferring the filtered portion to plastic bags. Back at their makeshift lab |
they would examine this remainder in dishes under the microscope, looking for sea slugs and similar animals not much bigger than the grains of sediment they move between. The process |
involved multiple dishes and frequent changing and cleaning of the seawater to make it easier to observe these microscopic animals. At the end of the process they would have a |
collection of specimens and would decide then which ones to process further. These would be photographed while still alive and depending on their size, have either a subsample taken for |
DNA analysis (and placed in a vial of ethanol) or be placed whole in ethanol or formalin. Rosemary searched for tiny sea snails in mangrove and intertidal zones in Timor, |
collecting samples of mud, leaf matter and debris which she would ‘coarsely wash’ in the field using a very fine sieve. Keeping these samples cool in a bucket, she would |
return to the lab and use a spoon to scoop this ‘washed off’ matter into a petri dish. The contents of the dish were swirled around so that it would |
settle into one layer, making it easier to see crawling animals or shapes that she recognises. She placed her specimens in ethanol for photographing and DNA sequencing back at the |
Museum. Mandy surveyed the dive sites, markets and random fishing boats for cephalopods (octopuses, squid and cuttlefish). Back at the hotel, she would photograph each specimen and take two tissue |
samples: one muscle and one from the gills. These samples would be placed in separate vials of ethanol. Later, the ethanol will be poured off and the samples added to |
our frozen tissue collection at the Museum and made available for DNA analysis. The remainder of the specimens she acquired were fixed in formalin, with the beaks and radulas of |
the squid and the cuttlebones of the cuttlefish being detached beforehand (yes, squid have beaks). These will eventually be transferred to 70% ethanol, given a number in our database and |

up costumes allow a child to express themselves and have fun! There is nothing more precious than a child making their own cooking sounds or pretending to fix a "boo-boo" with their play doctor kit. Hands on activities like coloring books and crayons as well as paints will encourage creativity in your budding artist. |
Let’s Talk Art "The way a child thinks about her art is more important than the way you think about it," says Herbert. "Never impose limitations and never say, 'I'm not good at this.' It introduces fear. Never evaluate a preschooler's music, art, or dance. Make observations from fact. Say, |
'there is a red circle,' or 'see these three red lines.' Evaluating may inhibit creativity or discourage a child." The concept of children understanding art in their own way is not new. Charlotte Mason, a liberal-thinking educator in the late 1800s, wrote in her book Home Education, "We cannot measure |
the influence that one or another artist has upon the children's sense of beauty, upon his power of seeing, as in a picture, the common sights of life; he is enriched more than we know in having really looked at a single picture." Parents cannot travel inside their child's brain |
and ensure that all the educational efforts they make are learned, stored, and applied appropriately. They can be certain, though, that introducing art and music, which have struck emotional chords in humans worldwide for centuries, will enrich an education. The developing mind of a child will soak up whatever it |
