Easy Access: National Parks MSC V-02

For the 44 million people with disabilities, this video demonstrates how to enjoy the beauty of America's national parks. Wendy Roth uses a wheelchair. Michael Tompane is nondisabled. Michael converted a van for camping and a wheelchair lift was added for Wendy. Off they went - travelling thousands of miles in 12 months to explore and video nine "easy access" national parks. From the unsurpassed panoramas of Yosemite to the glaciers of Olympic to the craggy shoreline of Acadia, Wendy and Michael personally evaluated the trails, viewpoints, sites, campgrounds, nature walks, and tours.

Educating the Infant and Toddler ED 07

Research associated with the Head Start project has focused attention on learning in the first years of life. It seems clear that if a child of three years of age is advanced in respect to language and intellectual skills, he is very likely to be well prepared for formal education when he turns five or six. Equally important is the fact that a child who is nine months or more behind in language and intelligence at three years of age rarely achieves above average or even average levels of later educational success. Such powerful findings have led to numerous attempts to help parents become more effective teachers, starting with the very first days of their children's lives. These efforts are called education for parenthood. A wonderfully successful education for parenthood program has just been completed in the state of Missouri. That program and the recent research discoveries upon which it was based are the focal points of this book.
