Sinopse

Technology for Learning Disabilities explores how assistive technology can transform education for students with learning disabilities. The book emphasizes selecting and integrating technology to help students overcome challenges and achieve academic success. It addresses the diverse landscape of learning disabilities like dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, and ADHD, highlighting how tools like text-to-speech can mitigate the impact of these disabilities. This approach is vital because traditional methods often fall short for these students.

 
The book uniquely balances theory with practical strategies, providing concrete resources for educators and parents. Chapters progress from understanding learning disabilities to evaluating specific technologies, such as graphic organizers and note-taking apps, and then to best practices for classroom integration. By synthesizing research, case studies, and expert opinions, it offers an evidence-based perspective.

 
Ultimately, this textbook provides a comprehensive overview applicable in various educational settings, promoting independence and enhanced learning.

Woman Who Brings the Rain - A...

Eluned Gramich

Winner of the 2015 New Welsh Writing Awards: WWF Cymru Prize for Writing on Nature and the Environment
Shortlisted for the 2016 Wales Book of the Year: The Open University in Wales Creative Non-Fiction Award
'Eluned Gramich has written the perfect essay - a minutely detailed yet nuanced evocation of place and personalities that is full of ecologically precise imagery and is as attentive to the Japanese language as it is to Hokkaidan landscape.' – Mark Cocker
As precise and nuanced as Japanese calligraphy, this memoir of the author's stay on the remote Hokkaido island in the far north of Japan, has at its heart the mountain, Yotei-san, the region's iconic equivalent to Mount Fuji. As much about learning a language (with connotations of 'reading' a wild landscape) as it is about nature, this dignified and nuanced work evokes what is cultured and cultivated, and yet also honours the wild; the untranslatable. With its themes of seasonal transformation, the peripheral, folklore, loneliness and learning to belong, this work takes a personal philosophical stance in relation to the centre and the periphery.
'"Eluned Gramich" is a name to hear time and again in the future. [This writing] is as good as we the jurors have ever read... short but perfectly formed... absolutely perfect.' – Justin Albert
'Quite beautiful. [The author encounters a culture that is completely alien] and she does it with a poet's eye... precisely and vitally. She reads this unfamiliarity with all her imaginative nerve-endings open: the effect is quite remarkable...' – Tony Brown
'Most rewarding is the philosophical approach... [Gramich's] embracing of... cultural multiplicity, fluidity and adaptability... suits perfectly the changing boundaries of our modern world.' – Wales Arts Review
