Her mothers constant change in boyfriends forces Calliope to constantly move schools. When her mother decides its time to move, Calliope takes this as an opportunity to try and hide her Tourettes syndrome. It does not take long for her plan to fail, and the students immediately notice her Tourettes. Calliope's neighbor, a popular student at school sees past Calliopes Tourettes and notices she's a very good friend but does not want to ruin his image by becoming friends with her. ]]> 2021-04-22 17:14:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jg906851/r86ce3enpeveocfq/wish/1448416770 jg906851 https://padlet.com/jg906851/r86ce3enpeveocfq/wish/1448418026 This book reminds me of a student I went to school with all my life. This student also had Tourettes syndrome. Growing up i remember being in classes with her in elementary school. Being so young, I was unaware of just how rude it is to stare when she made noises. I never really thought anything of it because whenever I would hear her noises it just felt natural to look up at her to see what it was. After reading this book it really helped me see the struggles people with this syndrome go through and the constant attention they receive over something they have no control over. As we got older, whenever I had classes with her I never thought twice to look at her when she had an episode, I would just ignore it. I think it is important to always put yourself in the shoes of others when thinking about a syndrome like this and to think about how you would feel if you were constantly getting looked at for something you cannot control. From now on, I make sure to never draw attention to something like that whenever I am in public. ]]> 2021-04-22 17:14:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jg906851/r86ce3enpeveocfq/wish/1448418026 jg906851 https://padlet.com/jg906851/r86ce3enpeveocfq/wish/1448421312 Here is an article all about Tourettes Syndrome to better educate yourself: ]]> 2021-04-22 17:14:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jg906851/r86ce3enpeveocfq/wish/1448421312 jg906851 https://padlet.com/jg906851/r86ce3enpeveocfq/wish/1448513219 All throughout this class we have learned about those who may learn a little different than us or need some extra help. We have learned about different ways we as future teachers can make all different learners feel welcome in our classroom. After reading this story, it reminded me about all the things we talk about in class with how we can make accommodations for those who need it to feel more comfortable in the classroom. In Calliope's instance, I think peer tutoring would be a great way for her to one on one get to build a relationship with a classmate and be able to not worry about having an episode an making noises infrount of a big group. Being with just other partner and maybe a partner who is used to the noises and would not have a reaction would be a nice way for Calliope to actually engage in an activity with her peer without drawing any attention to her. ]]> 2021-04-22 17:31:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jg906851/r86ce3enpeveocfq/wish/1448513219 jg906851 https://padlet.com/jg906851/r86ce3enpeveocfq/wish/1448531597 2021-04-22 17:35:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jg906851/r86ce3enpeveocfq/wish/1448531597 jg906851 https://padlet.com/jg906851/r86ce3enpeveocfq/wish/1448543977 More books about children with disabilities: ]]> 2021-04-22 17:37:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jg906851/r86ce3enpeveocfq/wish/1448543977
