The pivot for parents and educators : ADHD/autism : how looking through a different lens at the neurodivergent mind can change our thoughts and feelings about a diagnosis / by Gallo, Kim,author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 125-136)."Raising children is no easy feat, but raising autistic children or children with ADHD brings even more challenges. Author Kim Gallo has experience in this regard as the parent of a neurodivergent young-adult daughter. With nearly two decades of experience as an American Speech and Hearing Certified Speech-Language Pathologist and former Board-Certified Associate Behavior Analyst, Kim understands the mixed emotions that receiving a diagnosis can bring...When a parent, teacher, and therapist come to these realizations, catering to those differences becomes a little easier. In this book, Kim passionately provides readers with an abundance of invaluable information about raising a neurodivergent child. She focuses on subjects like the eight senses--yes, eight--and how autistic children may experience them, as well as giving guidance on how to teach autistic children to identify social cues and handle being overwhelmed. The message that weaves its way through The Pivot is one of love, care, and non-judgmental appreciation of differences. In addition, Kim realizes there is a certain lack of understanding regarding neurodivergent minds and identifies the kinds of offensive language that should change to allow our kids to see themselves in a more positive light."--

Balance : a dizzying journey through the science of our most delicate sense / by Svec, Carol,author.(CARDINAL)353311;
"Some low-frequency sounds--such as noise from storms or truck engines--can make you feel dizzy and nauseated. An index finger's light touch can stop people from losing balance. You are more prone to trip when you think someone is watching you. A breakthrough in improving balance as we age might just come through the study of the Achilles tendon. A person gets "falling down drunk" due to a tiny structure in the inner ear that floats when it becomes soaked in alcohol. These and other surprising and useful nuggets of information can be found in this lively, 360-degree exploration of our body's most intricate, overlooked sense--balance. Readers follow award-winning science and health writer Carol Svec through various facilities as she talks with leading scientists doing state-of-the-art balance research. Svec translates their most fascinating findings for the layperson in a way that is highly entertaining and broadly accessible. She showcases the coolest gadgets used by researchers as she grills an egg in a virtual kitchen, has her senses fooled by a mannequin named Hans in a Tumbling Room, survives "the Vominator" without losing her lunch, and experiences drunken dizziness inside a police muster room. Along the way she cites case studies of people whose lives are affected by balance dysfunction; explains how balance research is being applied today to help those who are ill, elderly, disabled, or simply prone to motion sickness; and provides a glimpse at what ingenious, potentially life-changing advances may be coming down the road. Whether you have a balance disorder or care about someone who does, are an athlete or performer whose livelihood depends on balance, or just love accessible, page-turning popular science, you'll be enlightened and entertained by this appreciation of our complex super-sense"Hurling for science: motion sickness -- Loops and rocks in your head: the vestibular system -- The eyes are the windows to the ears: vision -- Do you know where your body is?: proprioception -- Self-orientation: the gravity of up -- Life-changer: persistent postural-perceptual dizziness -- Sound: infra and otherwise -- Altered states: pharmacology -- Of helicopters, 3-D, and queasy cam: cybersickness -- Beyond gravity: virtual reality -- Think not, do: psychology in kinesiology -- Building a better gait: mechanics in kinesiology -- With luck, we all get old: fall prevention -- Balance cycles around: coming full circle.Includes bibliographical references (pages 253-266) and index.
