The project I have chosen to radically revise my second paper about Autism and Education. I plan on making an informative power point based on the researched information from my paper. In the power point, I will discuss the different options available to the parents of children with autism. The different options I will discuss include enrolling a child in a private school, the process of enrolling a child in public school, and enrolling a child in an alternative school. For each option, I will discuss the pros and cons, advantages and disadvantages of each choice. The objectives of my power point include informing parents of autism more about the disorder, outlining the step by step process of enrolling a child into a special education program in a public school, outlining the different laws associated with how the public school systems and special education, discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each option, and give references for more information on Autism and how to help out the cause. The goal of the power point overall is to inform parents of children with autism of their different options, and hopefully it will become an aid in their decision when it comes time to decide how they want to educate their child. I also plan on providing more information on Autism, so they will be able to learn more about the disorder and have some references to find more information about it.
As for the interface, I will be using Microsoft Powerpoint. In the program there is an option to ‘Publish as a Webpage”, which is how I am going to publish my work. I will be posting the link to the webpage I created with the power point to a blog I created so it will be accessible to a wide audience. By using a blog as well I give the audience a chance to provide feedback on my website, or a forum to post more information. Parents can post their opinions, choices, or provide advice for each other.
This document defines child sexual abuse and outlines its characteristics. Child sexual abuse occurs when a more powerful person uses a less powerful child for sexual gratification. There are two categories of abuse - non-touching such as exposure to pornography, and touching such as fondling or intercourse. Abusers often groom their victims gradually to gain their trust before abusing them. Victims may experience physical effects like STIs as well as behavioral effects including depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem. Children are vulnerable targets because they fear losing love, feeling shame, or being blamed if they report the abuse. Education is key to preventing abuse and empowering children to come forward.
Poverty in childhood can have long-lasting negative academic effects. Children living in poverty often experience food insecurity, inadequate housing, and other risk factors that impair development and lead to poorer educational outcomes. They may face delays in cognitive and language development due to less exposure to educational experiences and parental involvement. Their stress levels are also higher due to factors associated with living in poverty. However, interventions like Head Start and community support programs can help mitigate the effects of poverty and support children's learning and development. Teachers also need to consider the challenges of poverty and adapt their instruction to better engage students from low-income backgrounds.
This document defines and describes the components and types of hearing aids. It discusses the main parts of hearing aids including microphones, amplifiers, receivers, batteries, and ear molds.

The document also covers factors considered in fitting hearing aids like using binaural versus monaural fittings and which ear to fit based on audiometric results and patient needs.
Child abuse is when a parent or caregiver, whether through action or failing to act, causes injury, death, emotional harm or risk of serious harm to a child. There are many forms of child maltreatment, including neglect, physical abuse, sexual abuse, exploitation, and emotional abuse. Adults can experience a range of psychological, emotional and social problems related to childhood abuse.
Child abuse is any action by another person – adult or child – that causes significant harm to a child. It can be physical, sexual or emotional, but can just as often be about a lack of love, care and attention. An abused child will often experience more than one type of abuse, as well as other difficulties in their lives.

Hearing aid technology has advanced significantly over the past 200 years. Early hearing aids from the 1800s were simply ear trumpets or acoustic horns. The first electronic hearing aid was invented in 1900. Transistor technology arrived in the 1940s-1950s, allowing for smaller devices. Digital technology in the 1980s enabled programmability and multiple channels of amplification. Recent advances include wireless connectivity between devices, rechargeability, noise reduction algorithms, automatic features, and expanded bandwidth to better support speech recognition. However, fitting targets and understanding of the impaired auditory system have sometimes lagged behind technological capabilities.

A hearing aid consists of a microphone that picks up sounds and converts them to electrical signals, an amplifier that selectively amplifies those signals, and a receiver/speaker that changes the signals back to sounds and delivers them to the ear. It works by capturing sounds with the microphone, amplifying them with the amplifier, and sending the amplified sounds to the ear via the speaker. Earlier hearing aids were passive ear trumpons or horns that gathered and directed sound into the ear canal, while modern styles include behind-the-ear, in-the-ear, in-the-canal, and completely-in-the-canal devices. However, hearing aids can still have drawbacks like problems in background noise and discomfort from loud

In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.
