Being the Other One by Kate Strohm Pdf

When there's a disabled child in the family, how are normally developing siblings affected? According to Kate Strohm, a counselor and health educator, siblings of the disabled face particular emotional challenges that are often overlooked. Able siblings commonly struggle with feelings of isolation, grief, anger, and anxiety—and these and other emotional issues can have lifelong effects. Being the Other One is based on the author's own experience (as a sibling of a sister with cerebral palsy) and on extensive interviews she conducted with siblings of all ages. In clear and compassionate terms, Strohm explores the often secret feelings of siblings and offers valuable strategies for coping with the challenges they face. Being the Other One reveals the difficulties faced by siblings at all stages of life, from early childhood through adulthood, when siblings must often assume responsibility for the care of their disabled brothers and sisters. Though the book looks honestly at the many challenges that siblings face, it is full of encouragement and practical strategies. Strohm emphasizes that when siblings are able to clearly identify and openly express their feelings and concerns—and when parents and health professionals offer the needed support—siblings can thrive. This book includes writing exercises for personal exploration and a substantial resources section listing helpful books, organizations, and websites.

Presenting the first big matching book for special needs children by AutiSpark. This workbook especially caters to kids with autism. It will help autistic kids to practice and master the basic skill of matching. Many autistic children often find it difficult to learn at the same pace as other kids. They have to be taught basic concepts in a step by step way. Basic skills like matching and sorting become a challenge for them. Kids with special needs require learning materials which are designed especially for them. AutiSpark was started to fill this gap and help kids with special needs learn better and faster.Repetitive practice will help kids with autism learn important concepts quickly. The learning materials have been created under the guidance of special educators and expert special needs parents. We hope that this autism workbook will help your child master matching. This workbook is divided into 6 sections:1) Match Same Pictures:The child learns to match identical pictures in the worksheets. The number of pictures in each page increases slowly so that the child can match a bigger collection of pictures.2) Match Similar PicturesAfter matching identical pictures, a child must master matching of non-identical pictures. This is matching the similar types of items that look different. Eg. a soccer ball with a basketball.3) Match Related PicturesThis skill builds concepts to help a child learn advanced categorizing and matching. Here, a child has to match associated or related pictures like a spider with its web or a pencil with a sharpner.4) Match Uppercase LettersKids can practice recognition of uppercase letters with matching of same letters. These worksheets teach both the concept of matching same pictures and practicing ABCs.5) Match Lowercase LettersHere, kids can practice matching of lowercase letters. After uppercase, the transition to lowercase letters will help kids master both matching and the alphabet.6) Match the NumbersMatching of numbers 1 to 10 will help a child perfect their matching skills along with recognition of numbers.
