This guide is written for those living with any diagnosis that impacts their functional movements and/or learning abilities.This guide is designed for caregivers, aides, instructors, parents, and/or guardians to better understand what fitness means to this population, why it is important, and what activities can be done to improve cognitive and functional movement; whether a person is ambulatory or not or uses walking-assistant devices, there are multiple challenges available for every person.Physical and cognitive exercise routines are provided at the end of the book to empower. These are simply guides for multi-directional, transitional challenges, as well as muscle-, stamina- and balance-building exercises. It is imperative that all participants be given clearance for such activities by their attending physicians. The entire premise behind this program is to empower, never break down.That said, not only were the exercises presented here used throughout a multi- year study with occupational therapy students but also were "Kid tested Kid approved " by our amazing participants. Ultimately, what will fully empower and benefit its users comes when caregivers, instructors, aides, parents/guardians, and coaches also participate. A wellness program for those living with disability or impairment works best when everyone buys in. Good luck, have fun, and believe that positive change is possible.Welcome to the greatest program on earth

Over the past century, various men and women have forged psychology into a dynamic science, leaving behind a rich legacy of innovative research and theoretical perspectives. The volumes in the Portraits of Pioneers in Psychology series chronicle the lives of these giants in the field and outline their influences on psychology today. The first volume in this series concentrated on figures from the earliest days of psychology. This new volume also covers figures from this important era, but includes biographies of more recent psychologists as well. These portraits reintroduce readers to such well-known luminaries as Dorothea Dix, John Dewey, and Robert Yerkes, and introduces others whose influence may be better known than their names. Readers may be surprised to learn of the methodological sophistication of Dorothea Dix, or of the contributions of a little-known Hungarian emigre, Paul Schiller. The aim of this book is to promote psychology's appreciation of these sometimes neglected giants in the field. Through the examination of these individuals, the readers will come to understand specific schools, fields, and perspectives in psychology, and will gain an appreciation of how psychology has evolved, in both methodology and focus, over the years. There are 21 chapters in this edited volume, which is intended for undergraduates and graduates in psychology and for scholars in the history of psychology.

The Panda-emic Story is a children's picture book for ages 5 to 105. It is a story of how hope, courage, and care can truly save the world. 
Written during a pandemic, the animal characters in this book represent people from all nations. Stories of great empathy and heroism as well as selfish and destructive behaviors were seen around the world -- all inspiration for this story of a lone panda who has the great misfortune of getting sick, and then being blamed, as the zoo shuts down and many other animals get sick. As for the zookeepers, many will ask, 'How could they just leave the animals alone?' 
It was a special group of endangered birds, the caregivers, who ultimately save the zoo and restore order once again -- and to those fine birds we are eternally grateful. May they soar high once again!
