EBD historic foundations again

Published on 30 September 2011 in Musings, News and The press. 0 Comments Tags: , , .

Those who were reading at the end of the school year will remember a post about the first installment in a series of posts on articles in the Journal of Emotional and Behavioral Disorders on the history of EBD. The Donald D. Hammill Foundation and Sage Publishers made it possible for readers to download free copies of the articles in the series, and it’s about time for the second installment to be available. The articles are based on interviews conducted in association with the Janus Oral History Project and the Midwest Symposium for Leadership in Behavior Disorders.

Zabel, R. H., Kaff, M. S., & Teagarden, J. M. (2011). An oral history of first-generation leaders in education of children with emotional/behavioral disorders, part 2: Important events, developments, and people. Journal of Emotional and Behavioral Disorders, 19(3).

Gaining perspective

Published on 20 September 2011 in Advocacy, Autism, News and The press. 1 Comment Tags: , , , , .

Are you up to speed with the views of self-advocates in the Autism community? If not, you can get a good start—maybe even the beginning of a crash course—by reading a post by Zoe (over Shannon Des Roches Rosa’s name, which alert readers will recognize) over on Thinking Person’s Guide to Autism. In “The Self-Advocate/Parent Dialogues, Day One: Zoe,” Zoe represent concerns about having others speak for people with Autism. As one can infer from the title, it’s the first installment in a series of posts, so y’all can check back for more later. You might even want to watch it unfold, and check the comments as they accrete. Should be interesting.

For those who are unfamiliar with Mr. Reid’s research, he has an extensive record of work in behavior analysis, having published repeatedly in the Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis. He’s based at the Carolina Behavior Analysis and Support Center in Mogantown (NC, US) which, oddly, doesn’t seem to have a Web site.
