Life at Home for People with a Dementia

Life at Home for People with a Dementia

Life at Home for People with a Dementia provides an evidence-based and readable account of improving life at home for people with a dementia and their families. There are estimated to be 47 million people with a dementia worldwide the majority of whom will live or want to live in their own home. Yet there is a major shortcoming in available knowledge on what life is like for people with a dementia living at home. Most research focuses on care in hospitals or care homes and takes a medical perspective. This book bridges this gap in knowledge by providing a comprehensive and critical overview of the best available evidence on enabling people with a dementia to live well at home from the viewpoint of those living with the condition and in the context of global policy drivers on ageing and health as well as technological advances. The book includes chapters on citizenships – that is the diversity of people living with a dementia – enabling life at home rethinking self-management the ethics and care of people with a dementia at home technological care and citizenship and sharing responsibilities. It concludes with a care manifesto in which we set out a vision for improving life at home for people with a dementia that covers the areas of professional practice education and care research. By covering a wide range of interrelated topics to advance understanding and practice as to how people with a dementia from diverse backgrounds can be supported to live well at home this book provides a synthesised critical and readable understanding of the complexities and risks involved.

Comprehensive Aphasia Test

Comprehensive Aphasia Test

The Comprehensive Aphasia Test (CAT) is a test for use with people who have acquired aphasia that can be completed over one or two assessment sessions. The test includes a user manual a cognitive screen and language battery and a scoring booklet which are all unchanged since the previous edition and - new to this release - a concise Aphasia Impact Questionnaire which replaces the Disability Questionnaire. The cognitive section assesses people's abilities across a range of task that can affect rehabilitation. Forming the main body of the test the language battery provides a profile of performance across all modalities of language production and comprehension. The Aphasia Impact Questionnaire is a pictorial Patient Reported Outcome Measure which produces both qualitative and quantitative information. It was co-produced with people with aphasia. It supports the person with aphasia to give a subjective rating of how language difficulties identified in the Language Battery affect their daily life enabling first steps towards goal setting. By capturing this information the CAT helps the therapist track changes over the course of recovery and provides a guide to likely outcomes on the basis of an early assessment. The first two sections of the CAT are supported by normative data on people both with and without aphasia and extensive data on reliability and clinical validity. The CAT allows users to: Identify underlying impairments Find where to focus assessments using PALPA and other batteries Ascertain the practical psychological and social impact of aphasia from the perceptive of the person with aphasia Create a profile of strengths and weaknesses to guide therapy. Structured around fully up-to-date models of language assessment from cognitive neuropsychology to patient reported outcome measures test is an indispensable resource for speech and language therapists and researchers. It provides as much information about people's language ability as possible in a relatively brief test designed to be completed in 90-120 minutes. Additional scoring booklets can be ordered in packs of 10 at https://www. routledge. com/Comprehensive-Aphasia-Test-Scoring-Book-pack-of-10/Swinburn-Porter-Howard/p/book/ 9781032128177

Design for Dementia Living Well at Home

Design for Dementia Living Well at Home

Design for Dementia is written by an interdisciplinary team of professionals and academics whose aim is to present lessons learnt from the Dementia Demonstration House at the Building Research Establishment’s Innovation Park. Known as Chris and Sally’s House the project represents a unique opportunity to show in practice what can be done to assist people living with dementia to continue to live at home and as part of the community with as much independence as possible. This book presents evidence based practical design guidance backed up by over 15 combined years of research by experienced professional designers. Beginning with an introduction which provides the background to the global dementia epidemic to allow readers to gain a better understanding of the issues they must consider the book then discusses how good design principles planning and construction standards can be used to effectively respond to the dementia crisis. The detailed findings from research using Chris and Sally’s House are presented and discussed along with practical examples and success stories ranging from simple design features to the more complex use of sensors and automated ventilation. The hope is that readers can apply the lessons learnt from Chris and Sally’s House to successfully integrate solutions into the design of new or refurbished housing for the elderly and also that the tools and insights shared will inform the wider context of good housing design as well as the spectrum of constraints and design standards which often apply. This book is important reading for architects designers engineers and project managers but also anyone with an interest in learning about practical solutions to aid those with dementia to live well at home. | Design for Dementia Living Well at Home

Diasporic Mobilities on Vacation Tourism of European-Moroccans at Home

Diasporic Mobilities on Vacation Tourism of European-Moroccans at Home

Diasporic Mobilities on Vacation is a nuanced exploration of the embodied and affective practices of Moroccans from Europe visiting Morocco for summer vacation. Rather than characterizing them as uncomfortably split between homelands this book focuses on how their touristic leisure practices create their own space of diasporic belonging. An expert on Moroccan diaspora communities and mobile lifestyles the book draws on multi-sited and mobile ethnographic research to take the reader along on the journey ‘home’ and experience the daily lives of diasporic visitors. Their practices activities and encounters on vacation offer insights into larger issues of class leisure consumption and transnational belonging in South-to-North migration contexts. Concretely the book shows how these holiday encounters simultaneously generate integration into Morocco for migrant descendants who can feel at ‘home’ in this homeland and differentiation from others in how they embody ‘Moroccaness’ as social and material actors. This book shows how seemingly frivolous practices of leisure have material consequences for individuals who belong across homelands. Positioned at the intersection of migration studies leisure and tourism mobilities and ethnomethodology and practice theory this book is a worthwhile read for scholars and students—indeed anyone questioning or experiencing problems of belonging in transnational and diasporic contexts. | Diasporic Mobilities on Vacation Tourism of European-Moroccans at Home

At Home in School (1988) Parent Participation in Primary Education

At Home in School (1988) Parent Participation in Primary Education

Originally published in 1988 this book discusses the gradual move from the separation of home and school to an increasing acceptance of the central role of parents as partners in their children's education. The book looks at the progress made towards real partnership with parents. An eminently practical account of the advantages of working with parents and the ways in which this can be achieved it will be of special value to student teachers and practicing teachers and to parents interested and involved in their children's education. The authors review national trends and developments since the issue was first seriously raised by the Plowden Report in 1967. Then focusing on one urban primary school (Redlands Primary School Reading) they describe the changes which have taken place over a seven-year period from the perspective of teachers parents and children. The book includes a personal account by Angela Redfern (formerly Deputy Head at Redlands) of what it has been like to be a teacher during this period of change and telling comments from both parents and children on all aspects of involvement in school. Partnership with parents emerges as a course of action which reaps benefits for all concerned and the authors stress that the developments taking place in schools like Redland are important for all schools irrespective of their social class or ethnic composition. | At Home in School (1988) Parent Participation in Primary Education

An At-Home Guide to Children’s Sensory and Behavioral Problems Qigong Sensory Treatment for Parents and Clinicians

An At-Home Guide to Children’s Sensory and Behavioral Problems gives a new perspective on sensory and behavior problems one that sees those behaviors as stemming from a child’s immature sensory nervous system and regulation difficulties. This book offers an effective at-home intervention the Qigong Sensory Treatment that enlists a parent's attuned touch to address often overlooked sensory issues that underlie ‘problem’ behaviors and works to organize those sensory experiences to foster connection and the capacity for self-regulation. It introduces the reader to a new and clinically useful model to understand sensory development the Early Childhood Self-regulatory Milestones which are critical to the emotional and behavioral health and regulation for all children. With clear step-by-step instructions diagrams and links to online instructional videos it teaches parents how to successfully implement the daily QST hands-on routine. Unique to the treatment model is how it guides and focuses parents to easily recognize interpret and respond to their child's shifting non-verbal body and behavioral responses and cues. An extensive workbook section navigates parents through a year-long process of learning and implementing QST at home. Weekly letters include those written by the authors parents who share their own personal experiences with the routine and by QST Master Trainers who offer their years of experience and helpful tips. The 52 letters are timed to anticipate and answer typical questions or stumbling blocks that parents commonly encounter at key points guiding them to success with their child’s sensory and behavior difficulties while making for happier and less-stressful times with their child. This guide will be indispensable to parents and clinicians looking to understand and more effectively work with their child’s developmental difficulties. | An At-Home Guide to Children’s Sensory and Behavioral Problems Qigong Sensory Treatment for Parents and Clinicians

Jane Eyre's Fairytale Legacy at Home and Abroad Constructions and Deconstructions of National Identity

Jane Eyre's Fairytale Legacy at Home and Abroad Constructions and Deconstructions of National Identity

Exploring the literary microcosm inspired by Brontë's debut novel Jane Eyre's Fairytale Legacy at Home and Abroad focuses on the nationalistic stakes of the mythic and fairytale paradigms that were incorporated into the heroic female bildungsroman tradition. Jane Eyre Abigail Heiniger argues is a heroic changeling indebted to the regional pre-Victorian fairy lore Charlotte Brontë heard and read in Haworth an influence that Brontë repudiates in her last novel Villette. While this heroic figure inspired a range of female writers on both sides of the Atlantic Heiniger suggests that the regional aspects of the changeling were especially attractive to North American writers such as Susan Warner and L. M. Montgomery who responded to Jane Eyre as part of the Cinderella tradition. Heiniger contrasts the reactions of these white women writers with that of Hannah Crafts whose Jane Eyre-influenced The Bondwoman's Narrative rejects the Cinderella model. Instead Heiniger shows Crafts creates a heroic female bildungsroman that critiques fairytale narratives from the viewpoint of the obscure oppressed workers who remain forever outside the tales of wonder produced for middle-class consumption. Heiniger concludes by demonstrating how Brontë's middle-class American readers projected the self-rise ethic onto Jane Eyre miring the novel in nineteenth-century narratives of American identity formation. | Jane Eyre's Fairytale Legacy at Home and Abroad Constructions and Deconstructions of National Identity

Mind the Gap Global Learning at Home and Abroad

Mind the Gap Global Learning at Home and Abroad

There is growing awareness that global learning is not confined to university credit-bearing off campus international programs and that institutions of higher learning have up until now conceived of global education too narrowly. Global learning through study abroad and off-campus domestic study fits into a larger context of students’ educational experiences. You can find global learning as part of other high-impact practices; domestic off-campus programs undergraduate research and service- or community-based learning all can be global learning opportunities. On-campus global learning can occur in the disciplines and in the core curriculum as well. Language and culture anthropology sociology and other departments multicultural centers and diversity and inclusivity offices to name a few also teach students to be global learners. Global learning pertains to the many staff and faculty educators who intentionally encourage students to engage with and successfully navigate difference. Thus there is a growing need for bridging across disciplinary and administrative silos silos that are culturally bound within academia. The gaps between these silos matter as students seek to integrate off- and on-campus learning. Higher education needs a new holistic assessment of global learning. This book investigates not just student learning but also faculty experiences program structures and pathways that impact global learning and expands the context of global learning to show its antecedents and impacts as a part of the larger higher education experience. Chapters look at recent developments such as short-term off-campus international study and certificate/medallion programs as well as blended learning environments and undergraduate research all in the context of multi-institutional comparisons. Global learning is also situated in a larger university context. A Series on Engaged Learning and Teaching Book.
