Intellectual Disabilities
Introduction
Intellectual disability in lay man terms would be the disability to perform intelligent functioning of the human brain. The performance of everyday social and practical skills requires intellectual functioning and adaptive behaviour which are in-built abilities in most normal human beings. The ones who possess intellectual disability are often limited by their intellectual functioning and adaptive behaviour skills. This disability is generally spotted in individuals before they reach the age of 18 (Intellectual Disability (n.d.)).
Now we read more into the two parts of intellectual disability: intellectual functioning and adaptive behaviour.
· Intellectual functioning: In lay man terms, intellectual functioning is more commonly known as intelligence which largely helps in learning, reasoning, problem solving, mental capacity, etc. This is also known as IQ or the intelligence quotient and generally a score of 70 or 75 indicates a limitation in intellectual functioning. Basically, intellectual functioning part helps an individual to learn something, reason, make decisions and solve problems.
· Adaptive behaviour – These skills are required to deal with day-to-day life and the activities that we engage in every day. This involves communicating with other individuals, analysing the behaviour of others and respond accordingly. The limitations of adaptive behaviour can also be screened by standardized tests which comprises three basic skill types:
· Conceptual skills – this involves language, education, money, time and number concepts along with self direction
· Social skills – this involves interpersonal skills, social responsibility, self-esteem, gullibility, social problem solving, the ability to follow rules and to avoid being victimized
· Practical skills – this involves the daily activities, occupational skills, healthcare, travel, routines, usage of money and telephone usage
Hence in order to determine the intellectual disability of an individual, the above mentioned characteristics need to be kept in mind (Definition of Intellectual Disability, ( n.d.)).
Symptoms and causes of intellectual disability
There are various symptoms of intellectual disability that could go unnoticed for years till it becomes very evident. Sometimes it is noticeable during infancy and sometimes may remain dormant until the child reaches school going age and then the degree of disability starts to deteriorate and then show major symptoms. “The symptoms are as follows:
· Rolling over, sitting up, crawling or walking late
· Talking late or having trouble with talking
· Slow to master things like potty training, dressing, and feeding himself or herself
· Difficulty remembering things
· Inability to connect actions with consequences
· Behaviour problems such as explosive tantrums
· Difficulty with proble.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Task to do
Cultural aspects of dementia
Dementia is the main cause of dependency in older people and in many
country there is lack of staff to care for people with dementia.
This gap is covered by foreigner and migrants, people with other
cultures than patients: age, education level, income level, place of birth,
length of residency in a country, individual experience, and identification
with community groups.
To provide effective care, the caregivers must to have cultural
competence , the capacity to function effectively within the context of the
cultural beliefs, behaviors, and needs of patients and their communities.
Steps for improving Cultural Competence:
Understand
dementia.
• Dementia may be perceived differently in different cultures: as a
normal part of ageing, mental illness, something metaphysical linked
to supernatural or spiritual beliefs or as an irreversible disease of the
brain.
Overcome
the stigma of
dementia
• People with dementia are often isolated,or hidden, because of stigma
or the possibility of negative reactions from neighbours and relatives.
Know the
host culture
and
community.
• Learn the demographic, socioeconomic, and health status
characteristics in the country and communities where serve or want
to work.
Improve
cultural and
linguistic
skills
• Enhance your capacity to provide culturally and linguistically
appropriate services.
