Additional details on medical, behavioral or other specific needs are included.
Class 8 Vis and Hearing
The document discusses challenges faced by two students, Donald and Evelyn, who have visual and hearing impairments. Donald, age 9, has limited vision in one eye from childhood illness and struggles in school with reading small text, math, sports, and fatigue. Evelyn, age 12, lost her hearing at age 8 but remains determined to pursue a career in music against advice. The document provides guidance on supporting students with visual and hearing impairments.
Astley re kelly study
Susan Astley responds to a study that concluded light prenatal alcohol exposure of 1-2 drinks per week does not increase risks of cognitive and behavioral deficits in children aged 0-3. She provides statistics from her clinic showing the percentage of children with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder diagnoses showing severe central nervous system impairment increases dramatically with age. Even children with full fetal alcohol syndrome can appear normal under age 3, but many experience severe dysfunction later. She argues the long-term effects of even light prenatal alcohol exposure on brain development in young children remain unclear.

Fasd assessment
This document provides an overview of assessing Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) and Complex Developmental Behavioural Conditions (CDBC) through Interior Health's Children's Assessment Network (IHCAN). IHCAN uses an interdisciplinary team approach to assess children ages 0-19 who have been referred due to concerns of prenatal alcohol exposure and impairments in multiple domains of functioning. The assessment involves evaluating the child across nine neurobehavioral domains to determine if they meet the criteria for a FASD diagnosis or other condition according to Canadian diagnostic guidelines.
From astley correspondence2
A study examined 160 children and ranked their central nervous system functioning on a scale of 1 to 3, with 1 being normal functioning. For children ranked 1, 70% had no diagnosis of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder, while that percentage decreased significantly as the CNS ranking increased, with all children ranked 15-19 receiving a diagnosis. The document questions how children with a CNS ranking of 1 could merit a diagnosis of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder.

Science
- Science establishes cause and effect through a process of testing and peer review, but is not perfect and can still reach incorrect conclusions with incomplete information.
- A patient in Beijing incorrectly chose antibiotics over traditional Chinese medicine to treat a likely viral infection, showing how skeptical scientific minds can still get it wrong.
- When evaluating programs, we should look for instructional techniques backed by established research that actually measures the intended effects and has been tested by independent research. Testimonials alone are not sufficient evidence of a program's effectiveness.
Neuroscience commentary final
This document discusses neuroscience and education. It explores how knowledge of brain development and functioning can inform educational practice. Some key points:
1. Brain development continues well into adolescence, particularly in the frontal and parietal lobes, suggesting secondary and tertiary education are important periods.
2. While early childhood involves significant brain changes, there is no evidence formal education needs to start as early as possible.
3. Adolescence involves ongoing synaptic pruning and myelination in brain regions involved in higher-order thinking, which may help explain some dips in cognitive performance during this period.
4. Improved collaboration between neuroscience, psychology and education could help address issues like dyslexia and AD
Course Outline
This course outline provides information for an educational studies course titled "Supporting Students with Special Needs: Meaningful Consultation and Collaboration". The course will take place from August 16-20, location Art 183, and is intended for teachers to better communicate with parents, caregivers, and other professionals to support students with special learning needs. Over the course of the week, participants will examine ways to meaningfully involve and consult with parents, learn about relevant policies and legal decisions, and practice skills for collaborating with other professionals through activities like role-playing. The course will be graded on a pass/fail basis based on attendance, participation, three reaction papers, and a final in-class activity involving role-playing a consultation scenario
CYSN Framework For Action
The document outlines British Columbia's strategy to improve services for children and youth with special needs. It establishes a vision of optimal development, health and well-being for these children and youth. The mission is to deliver accessible, high-quality services through an integrated approach. Three main goals are identified: improved access to the right services at the right time, effective services that are high-quality and evaluated well, and more coherent systems with improved integration and coordination across sectors. The framework is intended to guide collaborative work between health, education, and social services to create a continuum of quality support.
ASBC FEAT Hewko Interpretation
The BC Supreme Court ruled that school districts must hire aides with child-specific training for autistic students to meet their duty to accommodate. Specifically, the court found that the Abbotsford School District breached its duty to consult and accommodate a student with autism by failing to provide an aide capable of instructional control. The ruling sets out that school districts must meaningfully consult parents regarding placements and IEPs, accommodate students' home programs, and demonstrate they can ensure instructional control of the child. As there is a lack of training in ABA/IBI techniques, districts may need to hire from students' home therapy teams to fulfill these obligations. This ruling establishes an important precedent around the education rights of students with
Judge Koenigsberg Re Hewkov Bc 11 03 06 1
This case involves Darren Hewko, a 9-year-old boy with autism, and whether the Abbotsford School District and the Province of British Columbia fulfilled their statutory duties to provide him with an education. Darren received ABA therapy at home but struggled in kindergarten without similar support. While the school recommended placing him in a special education classroom for grade 1, his parents wanted his home therapist or a trained aide to accompany him. Unable to agree on Darren's placement and support, his parents removed him from public school and are now suing the district and province for discrimination and failing to meet their duties.
Getting to Yes, Chapter 1
The document is a reprint of the book "Getting to Yes" by Roger Fisher and William Ury. It discusses strategies for negotiating agreements between two parties. The book was originally published in 1981 and reprinted in 1991 by Penguin Books.
Supporting Meaningful Collaboration with Parents
The document discusses guidelines for meaningful consultation between schools and parents regarding students' education. It defines meaningful consultation as an ongoing, two-way dialogue that seeks input from parents prior to decision making and includes parents in planning. Key elements include mutual respect between all parties, participation as equal partners, and addressing disagreements through open discussion. The goal is for parents to feel heard and for their experiences and ideas to influence decisions.
Science Research
The document discusses the importance of using scientifically-based research in education. It explains that true understandings require seeking information from scientific evidence, not just logic or opinions. It then provides guidelines for teachers to evaluate educational research claims, including whether the research was peer-reviewed, the results were replicated, and a scientific consensus was reached. Finally, it notes that scientific investigation proceeds through stages, and teachers should use the appropriate type of data at each stage, such as case studies to generate hypotheses but not determine cause-and-effect relationships.
Gifted (Maurice)
Maurice is an 8-year-old gifted student who attends a regular third grade class. He dislikes school and finds the work too easy. Psychological testing showed his verbal abilities are extremely high, but he struggles with visual-motor skills. His teacher wants him to show better behavior and penmanship before moving to a gifted program, but Maurice finds this unfair.
Class 6 (Behaviour And Mh)
Gwen is a 6th grade student who has been experiencing depression and anxiety. Her marks and behavior have declined, and she has become isolated from her peers and lost interest in activities. She left a sleepover unexpectedly and kicked her dog upon returning home. It is assumed she has a diagnosis of clinical depression. Her IEP goals would focus on collaboration with healthcare professionals, adapting her academic demands, monitoring any medication side effects, encouraging exercise, and reducing anxiety triggers at school. Behavioral strategies aim to understand the function of behaviors rather than suppress them, and physical intervention is only used if someone's safety is at risk.
Class 5 (Fasd Ppt)
1. Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) refers to a group of conditions that can occur in individuals whose mothers drank alcohol during pregnancy. It is not caused by poverty, race, or a person's moral character.
2. FASD affects 2-5% of school-aged children in North America and Europe. It impacts people from all backgrounds.
3. People with FASD can experience growth problems, facial abnormalities, brain damage, and confirmed prenatal alcohol exposure. They may have issues with cognition, adaptation, executive function, memory, communication, attention, and achievement.
Class 4 (Adhd)
The document describes Bertie, a 5-year-old boy starting kindergarten who was diagnosed with ADHD. Bertie has difficulty paying attention, sits still for short periods, is hyperactive and impulsive. He was unable to manage in a regular preschool program due to his behavior. The document discusses ADHD diagnoses and treatments, including medication and behavioral adaptations that could help Bertie in kindergarten by addressing his inattentiveness, hyperactivity and impulsivity.
Class 3
Nancy is a 9-year old girl starting grade 4 who is struggling with reading and writing skills. She was assessed and found to have an above average intelligence and strong math skills, but reads at a kindergarten level. She has difficulty with spelling, writing sentences, and copying from the blackboard. It is determined that Nancy likely has dyslexia, one of the most commonly identified learning disabilities affecting phonological processing and reading. Her strengths in areas like art can be built upon with supports such as extra time, a quiet work space, and verbal instructions to help her succeed in school.
Class 2
The document discusses British Columbia's special education policy and the use of Individual Education Plans (IEPs). It explains that the goal of inclusion is for all students to have equal access to learning opportunities. IEPs must be created for students with special needs and outline adaptations or modifications to meet learning goals. The document outlines the IEP process and who is involved, as well as categories for special needs funding.
Joint Statement On Dyslexia
This document is a joint statement from several organizations regarding learning disabilities, dyslexia, and vision. It finds that while vision problems can interfere with learning, they are not the cause of primary dyslexia or learning disabilities. The statement also finds that eye exercises, behavioral vision therapy, or colored lenses have not been shown to improve educational performance for those with dyslexia or learning disabilities. Early identification and evidence-based educational interventions are recommended to help children with these conditions achieve the best outcomes.

Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

5th Power Grid Model Meet-up
It is with great pleasure that we extend to you an invitation to the 5th Power Grid Model Meet-up, scheduled for 6th June 2024. This event will adopt a hybrid format, allowing participants to join us either through an online Mircosoft Teams session or in person at TU/e located at Den Dolech 2, Eindhoven, Netherlands. The meet-up will be hosted by Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), a research university specializing in engineering science & technology.
Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.
