"If being a good ally to disabled people is your goal . . . Ladau's guide is a goldmine." -Book Riot

"Activist and writer Emily Ladau is a responsible guide and advocate for change, and her book is one that everyone could benefit from reading." -BookPage

"Emily Ladau provides a welcoming, easy-to-read guide to disability. I highly recommend this book to readers seeking to deepen their understanding of disability and ableism." -Haben Girma, human rights lawyer, speaker, and author of Haben: The Deafblind Woman Who Conquered Harvard Law

" Demystifying Disability is both comprehensive in its scope and easy to understand. I can't recommend this book enough." -Eric Garcia, author of We're Not Broken: Changing the Autism Conversation

" Demystifying Disability is a generous and approachable companion to the world of disability-especially for people who are (for the time being, at least) not disabled. I'll be using it as a reference book for years to come." -Ann Friedman, co-author of Big Friendship

"Emily Ladau has crafted an absolutely essential guide to understanding disability. In it, she dispels countless myths that surround the disabled experience, while providing practical tips for interacting with disabled people in healthier and more positive ways." -Shane Burcaw, author of Laughing at My Nightmare

" Demystifying Disability is a powerful reminder that disability is a vast spectrum with a wide range of voices and experiences.

I am grateful for this book and Emily's voice." -Grace Bonney, author of In the Company of Women

"From general disability knowledge, to disability rights, to ableism, to what to say and what not to say, this book will provide everyone with more understanding and empathy (not pity!) about what it really means to be disabled and what non-disabled people can do to be better allies, friends, parents, and partners with the disability community." -Amy Webb, author of the award-winning Charley and Emma picture book series

" Demystifying Disability is a great primer for anyone who wants to learn more about the largest minority in the world, and how to lead with accessibility at the forefront." -Victor Calise, commissioner of the New York City Mayor's Office for People with Disabilities

" Demystifying Disability is a game-changer in so many ways. This book is long overdue and is a must read for both new and experienced allies." -Chris Ulmer, founder of Special Books by Special Kids

"Emily Ladau is a once in a generation kind of writer and activist whose legacy can't even be quantified. The world needs her. The world needs this book." -Liz Plank, award-winning journalist and author of For the Love of Men

"This wonderfully accessible and intimate volume delivers a comprehensive review of the complicated topic of the disability experience. Everybody should read this book." -Emily Perl Kingsley, writer for Sesame Street

Description

Author(s): Rebecca A. Moyes

Rebecca Moyes, a teacher, author, renowned lecturer, and mother of a child with Asperger's Syndrome, helps walk any regular education or special education teacher through the process of setting up a sensory-friendly classroom in this easy to use book. This is currently the only book that discusses the importance of data-driven strategies, and then helps teachers implement them! Sensory integration disorder often presents as a behavioral problem; thus, although it's an internal state, it has to be addressed based on what observable behaviors are seen in the child.

Rebecca is able to take the data and work out how to make any student's, (and teacher's!), life easier.

ONE OF THE PROGRESSIVE'S BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR * ENTROPY'S BEST OF NONFICTION

"Disability rights activist Alice Wong brings tough conversations to the forefront of society with this anthology. It sheds light on the experience of life as an individual with disabilities, as told by none other than authors with these life experiences. It's an eye-opening collection that readers will revisit time and time again." -Chicago Tribune

"Shares perspectives that are too often missing from such decision-making about accessibility." "Implicitly (and sometimes explicitly) makes the case for acknowledging and accommodating society's overlooked population of disabled people." -The New York Times Book Review

"An exemplary collection. . . . This month's #RequiredReading." "A raw, emotional collection, an investment in the power of storytelling to foster vibrant connections, and an unapologetic rejection of 'internalized ableism'. . . . The 37 powerful stories in Disability Visibility reveal the depth of everyday courage and the extraordinary human capacity to find humor in the face of life's adversities." "Roughly 15 percent of people around the world have a disability, and yet their stories are often never told. Alice Wong's anthology, Disability Visibility, brings their narratives front and center with the goal of showcasing the wide range of modern disability experiences. . . . Ultra-impressive." -Shondaland, "10 Books Set to Become the New Feminist Classics""By its very nature, the disability community is incredibly intersectional and diverse, including people from all walks of life, backgrounds, and cultures. Disability Visibility reflects that diversity with its contributors, giving . . . a look at a wide range of experiences and types of disability."

"Alice Wong . . . has long been at the forefront of the disability justice movement." -Bitch Media, "17 Books Feminists Should Read in June"

"More resonant than ever. In this kaleidoscopic collection, Wong and her contributors provide not just a snapshot of what disability has meant in the past 20 years, but an urgent invitation to take that understanding forward. . . . A landmark resource for understanding disability." -Autostraddle

"Diverse and poignant. . . . I was deeply moved by more pieces than I could name." -Shir Kehila, Columbia Journal

"Every piece in Disability Visibility evokes . . . tenacity, some gut-wrenching and others inspiring. . . . The range of subjects is impressive: assistive technologies, carceral injustice, fashion, homophobia and heterosexism, medical care and medical abuse, organizing strategies, psychotherapy, racism, relationships, sex, and sexism." -The Progressive

"Celebrates and documents the lived experiences, power, and culture of the disabled community." -Morning Brew
"Wong's discerning selections, bolstered by the activism that shines through, will educate and inspire readers." -Kirkus Reviews "These essays are the heart, the bones, and the blood of Disability Rights." -Gaelynn Lea, musician and activist

"To Alice Wong, words like diversity and intersectionality aren't just buzzwords. They are marching orders. Everyone should take in the wisdom woven throughout this book." -W. Kamau Bell, host of United Shades of America

"A celebration and a source of deep education for many to bear witness (and feel seen by) the vastness of disabled stories, voices, and backgrounds." -Jennifer Baker, editor of Everyday People: The Color of Life

"As a Deaf Asian American, it wasn't until recent years that I started considering myself disabled. This is a very informed starting point for anyone who, like myself, would like to get a better understanding of disability as a massive and beautifully nuanced spectrum." -Christine Sun Kim, artist

It is hard to stay on top of all the social media information, but it is important to keep abreast of what is going on in special education. These are the people I follow to help me learn new strategies for kids as well as information on changes in government policy.

There are thought leaders who are changing the way we see education. I also follow other advocates to see what they are working and gain new ideas for helping my clients. I have also included many parents, some of whom are advocates and some focus on raising awareness of parenting special needs kids.

What Happened to You?, written by James Catchpole, illustrated by Karen George and read aloud to you by In Focus Education Group

Imagine you were asked the same question again and again throughout your life . . .
Imagine if it was a question that didn't bring about the happiest of memories . . .

This is the experience of one-legged Joe, a child who just wants to have fun in the playground . . .
Constantly seen first for his disability, Joe is fed up of only ever being asked about his leg. All he wants to do is play Pirates.

But as usual, one after the other, all the children ask him the same question they always ask, "What happened to you?"

Understandably Joe gets increasingly angry!

Until finally the penny drops and the children realize that it's a question Joe just doesn't want to answer . . . and that Joe is playing a rather good game . . . one that they can join in with if they can stop fixating on his missing leg . . .

Because children are children, after all.

Based on experiences the disabled author had as a young child, WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU? genuinely reflects a disabled child's perspective for both disabled & able-bodied readers.

Task

Louis wants to give \$15 to help kids who need school supplies. He also wants to buy a pair of shoes for \$39.

1. How much money will he have to save for both?

2. Louis gets \$5 a week for his allowance. He plans to save his allowance every week. How many weeks does it take him to reach this goal?

3. Louis remembers his sister's birthday is next month. He sets a goal of saving \$16 for her gift. How many weeks does he have to save his allowance to reach this goal? How many weeks does he have to save his allowance for all three of his goals?

IM Commentary

The purpose of this task is for students to relate addition and subtraction problems to money and to situations and goals related to saving money. This problem shows the work advanced second graders might use for adding 2-digit numbers. To see a task appropriate for students who are just beginning this work; see 2.NBT Saving Money 1. In second grade students should get to the point where they can add two-digit numbers fluently (see 2.NBT.B.5); the solution below is written reflects how students who have made that transition might approach it.

Second graders learn to skip-count by 5's, 10's, and 100's (see 2.NBT.2) and work with equal groups of 2's and 5's (see 2.OA.C) both to support their understanding of place-value and in preparation for formal work with multiplication in third grade. This task is an instructional task that brings many aspects of the mathematical work that second graders will be doing together with an opportunity to learn about financial literacy concepts.

Teachers can make the problem more personal by letting the student choose a toy he/she wants and the toy their sibling or friend may want and researching the costs. If students do this type of research, they will be engaging in MP 4, Model with mathematics. Students can also choose how much money they want to donate and for what cause. If the students in the class don't receive allowance, the child in the task can make money by helping a neighbor (perhaps walking a dog or bringing in the mail).

This task is part of a set collaboratively developed with Money as You Learn, an initiative of the President's Advisory Council on Financial Capability. Integrating essential financial literacy concepts into the teaching of the Common Core State Standards can strengthen teaching of the Common Core and expose students to knowledge and skills they need to become financially capable young adults. A mapping of essential personal finance concepts and skills against the Common Core State Standards as well as additional tasks and texts will be available athttp:// www.moneyasyoulearn.org.

The Standards for Mathematical Practice focus on the nature of the learning experiences by attending to the thinking processes and habits of mind that students need to develop in order to attain a deep and flexible understanding of mathematics. Certain tasks lend themselves to the demonstration of specific practices by students. The practices that are observable during exploration of a task depend on how instruction unfolds in the classroom. While it is possible that tasks may be connected to several practices, only one practice connection will be discussed in depth. Possible secondary practice connections may be discussed but not in the same degree of detail.

This particular task supports the demonstration of Mathematical Practice Standard 1, Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. Problem solving is based upon students engaging in a task in which a solution pathway is not known in advance. As second graders approach this problem, they may draw upon skip-counting and their work with equal groups of 5 to help them determine a solution method. They may also decide to use a number line or create a table to record the savings by week. Since there are multiple solution methods, this allows students to think about this problem from different perspectives and choose a pathway that makes sense to them. Students may also need to search for a similar problem they have solved previously to give them a starting point. These types of experiences support a productive disposition towards problem solving as they provide students with multiple entry points and opportunities to build on what they already know.

Solutions

Solution: Using an empty number line

1. Louis needs to save 15+39 dollars:

\begin{aligned} 15 + 39 &=& \\ 10 + 5 + 30 + 9 &=&\\ 10 + 30 + 5 + 9 &=&\\ 40 + 10 + 4 &=&\\ 54. \end{aligned}

So Louis needs to save \$54.

2. If we count up by fives, we can see how long it will take: So it will take Louis 11 weeks to save enough money for both.

3. If we look at the number line above, we can see it will take Louis 4 weeks to save enough for his sister's birthday present.

To save enough for all three, Louis needs to save 54+16 dollars:

\begin{aligned} 54 + 16&=&\\ 50 + 4 + 10 + 6 &= &\\ 60 + 10 &=&\\ 70. \end{aligned}

So Louis needs to save \$70 for all three things. If we continue to count by fives: we can see that it will take him 14 weeks all together. The reason it took one less week than if we had added up the number of weeks we found above is that the extra money earned in the 4th week above and beyond what he needed for his sister's present combined with the extra money saved in the 11th week equals one week's allowance.

Solution: Recording the savings in a table

1. Louis needs to save 15+39 dollars:

\begin{aligned} 15 + 39 &=& \\ 10 + 5 + 30 + 9 &=&\\ 10 + 30 + 5 + 9 &=&\\ 40 + 10 + 4 &=&\\ 54. \end{aligned}

So Louis needs to save \$54.

2. If we look in the table above, we can see it will take Louis 4 weeks to save enough for his sister's birthday present.
Louis needs to save 54+16 dollars:

\begin{aligned} 54 + 16&=&\\ 50 + 4 + 10 + 6 &= &\\ 60 + 10 &=&\\ 70. \end{aligned}

So Louis needs to save \$70 for all three things. If we extend the table above, we can see how long it will take: The reason it took one less week than if we had added up the number of weeks is that the extra money earned in the 4th week above and beyond what he needed for his sister's present combined with the extra money saved in the 11th week equals one week's allowance.

Summary

After learning about Harriet Tubman and the Underground Railroad, students will participate in the Underground railroad experiment on the National Geographic web site.

Enduring Understanding:
Global trade and cultural exchanges alter the lives of people around the world.
Essential Questions:

Why was slavery so important to the economics of early America?

What role did the cotton gin play in slavery?

Materials

Background for Teachers

Have an understanding with the Underground railroad. Read information about Harriet Tubman.

Student Prior Knowledge

An understanding of the Underground Railroad, a knowledge of Harriet Tubman. A pre-assessment paragraph of what the Underground Railroad means to them.

Intended Learning Outcomes

Students will have a clearer understanding of the Underground Railroad and the persons involved.

Instructional Procedures

Have the students write a paragraph about the Underground Railroad and what they know about it. This will be the pre-assessment.

The teacher will then read a short book about Harriet Tubman or share information from the web site (found in the teacher background) about Harriet Tubman.

The next step requires the students to be in pairs or small groups, depending on the number of computers available. Each group will participate in the Underground railroad experiment on the National Geographic site. There is an accompanying worksheet on the attachments page. The student will have to answer some questions and make some decisions as they go. This will take two class periods.

During the third class period, allow the groups to pick the scripts, scenarios or even to write their own presentation to preset to the class on the fifth day. Use the rest of days 3-5 for research and presentation.

Strategies for Diverse Learners

For the final project there are different scenarios to choose from; plays, performances,or an oral presentation.

Extensions

There is a wonderful website where the students can actually hear the voices of people who were slaves and who have traveled the Railroad.

Assessment Plan

The students will write a paragraph similar to the pre-assessment. Students should focus more on their feelings about what they have learned and experienced, than what they know.

Time Frame

1 class periods of 90 minutes each

Summary

Students use colored marshmallows (representing atoms) to construct compounds and arrange them into a balanced chemical equation.

Materials

student sheet (attached)

white and colored marshmallows

paper towel

Background for Teachers

Time needed:
About an hour, although checking students off takes time. You may want to reserve a 90 minute block and have another independent activity prepared for students to work on while waiting to be checked off, or after they are checked off. This will allow you latitude to do some re-teaching where necessary.

Student Prior Knowledge

Writing formulas and equations, balancing equations, conservation of matter, catalysts (generally), parts of equations.

Instructional Procedures

1. Pass out the "Reactions!" student page and explain the activity. Group students in pairs for this activity.

2. Students should first convert the word equation to a formula equation, and have another group check it for accuracy. When they are ready, come around with the marshmallows to quickly check them and distribute marshmallows. This more easily accomplished if the marshmallows are in bowls on a tray that can be carried around.

3. Point out that once students have constructed and balanced their marshmallow reaction, another group needs to check them off. Instructor check-off will be concurrent with a verbal quiz.

4. Point out that each person should quiz the other person in their pair, as neither person can be checked off by the instructor if any of the answers are wrong. The line to be checked off is typically long, and putting students back at the end of the line if they miss any in their check-off encourages them to make sure they are ready before they ask to be checked off, and also encourages them to be good about testing and helping each other.

5. As students wait to be checked off, or after they are checked off, they can work on the questions on the back of their student sheet.

6. Set up a solution of silver nitrate and add a copper wire. Allow it to sit during the period and observe occasionally. It may to started previous to the period starting.
