Assessing Behaviors Regarded As Problematic for People With Developmental Disabilities
People with developmental disabilities sometimes behave in ways that others, or they themselves, regard as problematic This original book is about what practitioners can do to make sense of those behaviors so that individuals can be more effectively supported. The author offers practical strategies for gathering and analyzing information about behaviors, in partnership with the individual concerned, in order to gain a useful understanding of why a particular behavior occurs. The inclusion of case histories, with corresponding behavior plans, clearly demonstrates the real-life application of assessment methods. With its strong emphasis on the importance of establishing equitable, respectful relationships between professionals and people with learning disabilities, this is a book that professionals involved in the lives of people with developmental disabilities will find invaluable..

Dictionary of Americanisms: A Glossary of Words and Phrases, Usually Regarded as Peculiar to the United States
A rediscovered classic of American slang–now with a Foreword by bestselling language maven Richard Lederer, author of Anguished English and The Miracle of Language From abisselfa to yourn, John Russell Bartlett’s groundbreaking Dictionary of Americanisms celebrated the language of a budding nation, whose rebellious declaration of independence was most evident in its own evolving colloquialisms. Originally published in 1848, the Dictionary of Americanisms was the first lexicon to portray the entire tapestry of uniquely American expressions in one volume, from the New England coast to the Far West and everything in between. The result is a window into everyday life and culture in a rapidly growing United States, with entries representing every region, linguistic heritage, and field of interest: - New England: funkify, plaguy sight, kedge
- The South: marooning, catawamptiously chawed up
- New York: clockmutch, rullichies, soap-lock
- The West: scrouger, prairie bitters, I dad!
- Spanish: sangaree, chaparral, vamos
- Native American languages: netop, sagamore, supawn
- Politics: slang-whanging, Dough-Faces, to row up Salt river
- Business: wild cat bank, corner, Peter Funk
Filled with amusing anecdotes, editorial asides, and some surprisingly modern slang, this facsimile of the book’s first edition is a great rediscovery for a new generation of readers and a fascinating snapshot of life in the early decades of the United States of America. .
