Summary

This work offers a summary of the book “GET IN THE GAME: 8 Elements of Perseverance That Make the Difference” by Cal Ripken Jr. and Donald Phillips.Cal Ripken Jr. played for twenty one seasons as a major league baseball player for the Baltimore Orioles. He earned a reputation as an “Iron Man” by playing 2,632 consecutive games – the equivalent of not missing a day’s work in seventeen years. During that time, he amassed more than three thousand hits and four hundred home runs – one of only eight players in the history of baseball to do so. He has also made a successful transition from baseball to business by becoming the president and CEO of the Ripken Baseball Group which runs minor league teams and amateur baseball training camps. In Get in the Game, Cal Ripken Jr. describes eight principles – each with its own chapter – that helped him to excel throughout his career: 1. The Right Values  2. A Strong Will to Succeed  3. Love What You Do  4. Preparation  5. Anticipation  6. Trusting Relationships  7. Life Management  and 8. The Courage of Your Convictions. Whatever game you’re in, Get in the Game is well worth reading. This illuminating book will inspire you to persevere.

    How can applied behavior analysis improve social and learning skills? 
    It is a systematic manipulation of behavioral concepts to change behavior at any moment during a child's day. 
    Many ABA methods require teaching, which is driven in a highly structured manner by parents, while others use the innate desires of the learner to obey his or her initiations. In the sense of current operations, certain methods teach skills. Both abilities are broken down into small steps or parts, and many regular chances are given for learners to acquire and exercise skills in a variety of settings with ample positive reinforcement. 
    Cognitive behavioral training is used to teach children with ASD to control and regulate their own actions by modifying their attitudes, self-understanding, and values, based on the assumption that improvements are most likely to occur whenever a person becomes actively involved in their own behavior. 
    Neurofeedback includes tracking brain activity while a person engages with computer programs created specifically to facilitate focus or other skills. Sleep therapies educate parents and children in strategies for dealing with challenging sleep patterns typical in children with ASD and for developing schedules for sleep. 
    Throughout comparison to the ABA, ABA-based, and EIBI strategies mentioned previously, all such therapeutic techniques are used. In this audiobook, you'll learn:What is autism and how it can be handled with applied behavioral analysis (ABA)How behavioral analysis can be used with autismHow to link operant behaviors with ABAHow to analyze behavioral change and pay attention to even the slightest changesHow to use procedures basic reinforcement to increase a behavior

    Join Michael LaMonica, author of French Revolutions For Beginners, as he takes you on a journey through the ins and outs of an amendment that means so much more than just freedom of speech. First Amendment For Beginners will explore some of the biggest cases ever to come before the Supreme Court and answer questions such as whether it really is okay to shout “fire” in a crowded theater, wear a T-shirt that reads “F**K THE DRAFT!” (without the asterisks) into a courthouse, burn the flag, burn your draft card, join the Communist party, sell nudie magazines, ban Ku Klux Klan marches, and publish confidential government secrets in a newspaper, to name just a few. The religion clauses are included too, with pertinent questions such as whether the First Amendment protects your right to use psychoactive drugs in religious rituals, marry multiple partners, or engage in animal sacrifice. The book also wades into the political maelstrom to examine recent controversies such as whether money really equals speech and if corporations have constitutionally protected rights to speech and religion.Whether you’re a court watcher, political junkie, history buff, civil libertarian, news enthusiast, or just curious about the most important amendment in the Constitution, this book is for you!

    Understand the process and the meaning of the development of drawing in children aged one-and-a-half to six.
    
    This new way of observing the drawings—with curiosity, enthusiasm, and excitement from experiencing the moment and acceptance—grants children the validation of being loved and understood, and increases their desire for creation, self-expression, and communication.
    
    In a language suitable for everyone, the book exposes the reader to the secret of the fixed order of the development of children's drawing, of all its stages and meanings. Understanding the stages of the motor and emotional development of children's drawings and unraveling the encounter as well as the connection between them generates a new interest in observing your children's drawings and also provides you with the tools to understand their emotional world.
    
    This book is an essential tool for every therapist, educator, or parent who wants to raise a child with the ability to communicate confidently and openly with the world.
    
    Even though this is considered a "child-like" process, this unique observation also contributes to understanding the emotional world of the adult as it is reflected in mature drawings and even, occasionally, opens a window to the experience of observing the art of drawing in general.
