Specialized School

The Bronx High School of Science is a public school in the New York City school system. It is a specialized school whose students are selected on the basis of a competitive exam. Our planetarium projector was installed out his spring, so many of these suggested activities are still in development stage.In the high school setting, the planetarium has a dual role as a teaching tool and as a motivational tool. The planetarium is used in the Astronomy and Astrophysics course, an advanced elective. This use permits a detailed study of the sky, which is otherwise difficult in New York City. Students who are familiar with thinking in two dimensions often have trouble making the transition to the three dimensions required in astronomy. The planetarium is an invaluable tool to develop students’ spatial orientation. Further, the planetarium generates tremendous enthusiasm.

Qualitative Phenomenological

Purpose The purpose of this study was to explore the ways in which adolescent students who stutter perceive their school experiences. Method This study used a qualitative, phenomenological research design. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 7 adolescent students who stutter (3 in middle school and 4 in high school). Participants were interviewed about their school experiences, including the effects of stuttering on academics, learning, teacher relationships, peer relationships, speech therapy experiences, and self-image. Data analysis consisted of transcribing interviews and analyzing them for emerging themes. Results Findings revealed that participants described a variety of experiences around the school setting. Participants reported less favorable middle school experiences. Middle school participants reflected more on teasing, bullying, and feelings of embarrassment, whereas high school participants revealed that teachers, staff, and peers were receptive and accepting of them and their stuttering. All participants reported that their speech therapy helped with classroom participation. Conclusions As a result of the participants' varied experiences, it is important to listen to and incorporate the voices of students who stutter into school, classroom, and therapy decision-making practices.

Abstract People using speech generating devices face many challenges, one of which is the lack of role models. They seldom have the opportunity to meet and interact with other proficient SGD users. This article addresses key considerations for initiating an AAC mentoring position as a Communication Coach in a public school setting. Outcomes and considerations to facilitate the likelihood of success are discussed from both administrative and mentor perspectives.

Areas Of Interest

There is a growing demand for bilingual services in speech-language pathology and audiology. To meet this growing demand, and given their critical role in the recruitment of more bilingual professionals, higher education institutions need to know more about bilingual students' impression of Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD) as a major. The purpose of this qualitative study was to investigate bilingual and monolingual undergraduate students' perceptions of the CSD major. One hundred and twenty-two students from a large university located in a highly multicultural metropolitan area responded to four open-ended questions aimed at discovering students' major areas of interest (and disinterest) as well as their motivations for pursuing a degree in CSD. Consistent with similar reports conducted outside the United States, students from this culturally diverse environment indicated choosing the major for altruistic reasons. A large percentage of participants were motivated by a desire to work with children, but not in a school setting. Although 42% of the participants were bilingual, few indicated an interest in taking an additional course in bilingual studies. Implications of these findings as well as practical suggestions for the recruitment of bilingual students are discussed.
