English | ISBN: 1933864451 | 2008 | 448 pages | PDF | 2 MB
As a result of advances in modern medicine and public health, adults with neurologic disabilities are living longer and often very productive lives. Because of this increased longevity, however, these patients often have secondary medical issues related to the aging process. For example, the management of hypertension, obesity, and diabetes are quite different in spinal cord injury, brain injury, and multiple sclerosis patients than in the standard treatments for typical patients.

Intergenerational Bonds The Contributions of Older Adults to Young Children’s Lives


Free Download Mary Renck Jalongo, "Intergenerational Bonds: The Contributions of Older Adults to Young Children’s Lives "
English | ISBN: 3030819647 | 2021 | 330 pages | PDF | 8 MB
This book studies the many different ways in which the lives of the first, third, and fourth generations intersect and the reciprocal benefits that can accrue from establishing positive intergenerational bonds. The unifying feature across the chapters is that the authors view these relationships as a powerful influence on Quality of Life (QoL). The book takes the stance that older adults figure prominently in the QoL of young children, with the latter group defined here as ranging in age from infancy up to and including eight years of age. It examines how bonds with older adults can affect young children’s functioning across developmental domains―physical, emotional, social, and cognitive. It addresses questions of importance to those who have a commitment to the very young such as: "What benefits can young children derive from positive bonds with older adults?", "How do young children understand the aging process and develop respect for the elderly?", "How can published research beused to guide both informal and formal interactions between the older generation and the newest one?" and, finally, "How can various stakeholders such as professionals, families, organizations, and communities collaborate to enrich and enlarge the kind and amount of support that older adults provide to the very young child?"

Sexuality in Literature for Children and Young Adults (Children’s Literature and Culture)


Free Download Paul Venzo, "Sexuality in Literature for Children and Young Adults (Children’s Literature and Culture)"
English | 2022 | ISBN: 0367674742, 0367674726 | PDF | pages: 195 | 18.0 mb
Expanding outward from previous scholarship on gender, queerness, and heteronormativity in children’s literature, this book offers fresh insights into representations of sex and sexuality in texts for young people. In this collection, new and established scholars examine how fiction and non-fiction writing, picture books, film and television and graphic novels position young people in relation to ideologies around sexuality, sexual identity, and embodiment. This book questions how such texts communicate a sense of what is possible, impossible, taboo, or encouraged in terms of being sexual and sexual being. Each chapter is motivated by a set of important questions: How are representations of sex and sexuality depicted in texts for young people? How do these representations affect and shape the kinds of sexualities offered as models to young readers? And to what extent is sexual diversity acknowledged and represented across different narrative and aesthetic modes? This work brings together a diverse range of conceptual and theoretical approaches that are framed by the idea of sexual becoming: the manner in which texts for young people invite their readers to assess and potentially adopt ways of thinking and being in terms of sex and sexuality.
