I am enjoying reading the comments posted by peers. Having varying experiences with young people associated with emotional and behavioral disorders, I have found the phenomena of spiritual intervention to be transformational in the positive development and beneficial change for those disturbed. Having a spiritual relationship with the LORD through Yeshua (Jesus Christ) the Messiah has allowed me to access the undivided attention of many disturbed people, including those gribbed with autism (i.e. regular eye contact and communicative response). I continue to pray and faithfully ask the LORD to intercede and minister spiritually and have found His peace will often reside in an environment and upon the countenance of the person with a disorder, restoring them to a place of functionality. Thank you for reading this. Your comments are welcome. Sincerely, Mrs. Diane McDonald Hello !

Sadly, some of the worst cases of dyspedagogia can be found in teacher education institutions. Some professors are more wedded to consistency with a philosophical stance than with preparing teachers to use practices that promote better outcomes for children. Well, I suppose a better way to say that would be that they are more wedded to consistency with a philosophical stance that doesn't put children's outcomes at the top of the priority list, or one that contends that we can't really measure children's outcomes, or something....arrrgh. Thanks for writing. You’re right on the $$ there, mcewen. Sadly, some of the worst cases of dyspedagogia can be found in teacher education institutions.
