TIP: Bring copies of your child’s report cards, standardized test results, and medical records, as well as a log of your communications with the school and other professionals to the meeting. Following the assessment, you will discuss the results with the evaluation team and together you will decide whether your child needs special-education services to address how ADHD impacts her ability to learn. Team members will review your child’s academic records, conduct a behavioral assessment, and observe her in the classroom. As part of the process, they’ll want to meet with you to learn more about how your child functions in school. Meet With the Evaluation TeamĪ school-sponsored evaluation is conducted by a multidisciplinary team - including special-education teachers, the school psychologist, and other professionals. TIP: Send your letter by certified mail or hand-deliver it and keep a dated proof of receipt for your records. (In some circumstances, the school may have to pay for the outside assessment.) Should the school decline your request, or if you’re dissatisfied with the evaluation’s findings, arrange for a private ADHD evaluation.

Follow these eight steps to take the hassle out of requesting and establishing an IEP or 504 Plan for ADHD. If her difficulty with homework is disrupting her life, that is also a factor in determining whether her disability is substantially limiting major life activities.The process of securing academic accommodations for your child with attention deficit disorder ( ADHD or ADD) can be confusing - and intimidating. You should also carefully document all the ways that her disability is affecting her, including those you describe in your question, as homework is also a school-related activity. ![]() In other words, the decision about whether she has a disability must be based on how she would perform without these measures, rather than with the extra support. Under recent amendments to the ADA, the institution is not permitted to deny eligibility based on the person’s performance if their performance is dependent on the provision or use of mitigating measures, such as some of the accommodations you described. ![]() In addition, it appears that both you and the school are providing her with various formal or informal accommodations. While learning is the most obvious school related life function, working, thinking, and concentrating are also specifically identified as life functions under the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504.Īs a result, your child should be assessed based on how her ADHD is impacting her functioning at school in a variety of ways, including but not limited to grades. ![]() First, it is inappropriate for a school to use passing grades as the primary or sole measure of whether a student’s disability is substantially limiting life functions at school. Your question concerns whether your child with ADHD should remain eligible for a Section 504 plan. ![]()

![]() This certainly provides strong evidence that a Ron's Grill was the source of the outbreak, and further investigation confirmed that one of the food handlers at Ron's had recently had a subclinical case of hepatitis A. The other three restaurants that had been suspects had odds ratios that were close to 1.0. This suggests that patrons of Ron's Grill had 75 times the risk of being a case compared to those who did not eat at Ron's. In contrast, consider the findings for Ron's Grill:įor Ron's Grill the odds ratio would be computed as follows: In this case the 95% confidence interval is 0.37 to 3.35, and p= 0.85. This certainly provides no compelling evidence to suggest an association with Papa Gino's, but, as we did with the risk ratio, we could compute a 95% confidence interval for the odds ratio, and we could also compute a p value. The odds ratio can be interpreted the same way as a risk ratio. These odds are quite similar, and the odds ratio is close to 1.0. Given these hypothetical results, the odds that someone who ate a Papa Gino's was a case were 10/19, while the odds that someone not exposed to Papa Gino's became a case were 9/19. ![]() An odds ratio can be computed for each of the possible sources. However, one can calculate the odds of disease in exposed and non-exposed subjects, and these can be expressed as an odds ratio, which is a good approximation of a risk ratio in a situation like this, i.e., when the outcome is rare. ![]() When using a case-control strategy for sampling, it is not possible to calculate the incidence ( attack rate ) in exposed and non-exposed subjects, because the denominators of the exposure groups are unknown. Investigators then ascertained the prior exposures of subjects in each group, focusing on food establishments and other possibly relevant exposures they had had during the past two months. In this case, the "controls" were non-diseased people who were matched to the cases with respect to age, gender, and neighborhood of residence. The investigators identified as many cases as possible (19 agreed to answer the questionnaire), and they selected a sample of 38 non-diseased people as a comparison group (the controls). In a situation like this a case-control design is a much more efficient option. Moreover, the disease was rare, so that even if they interviewed a sample of patrons at each of the restaurants, it is most likely that few, if any would have had recent hepatitis, even from the responsible restaurant. Hypothesis-generating interviews resulted in five food establishments that were candidate sources. The epidemic curve suggested a point source epidemic, and the spot map showed the cases to be spread across the entire South Shore of Massachusetts, although the pattern suggested a focus near Marshfield. Within a short period of time 20 cases of hepatitis A were identified in the Marshfield area. "The increase in the number of reported cases … during February in a confined geographic area was an indication of a possible outbreak of hepatitis A infection."Marshfield had 1 case in 2002 and 0 cases in 2003.".In addition, a case of hepatitis A in a Plymouth resident, employed in Marshfield, was reported."

This is Half-Life sharper, more challenging but also more intuitive, more likely to force you to fight better but less likely to get you hopelessly lost in a series of trash compactors. The enemy AI is also much sharper, and along with a more detailed rendition of the under-siege Black Mesa research facility, creates a setting that feels much more dire than the original.Īll told, Crowbar Collective has made a game that captures the original Half-Life from the perspective of fans who deeply care for the series but have had the hindsight and thoughtfulness to realize its failures. Some puzzles are now physics-based, and small objects-throwable flares, fling-able turrets-add life to the game's world. ![]() Introducing the Source engine's physics system into the game is one of the most significant additions. Running on the newest available version of the Source engine, which Valve has improbably supported for as long as Black Mesa has been in development, this game makes a number of tweaks, some large and some small, to the original Half-Life formula, alongside rebuilding and in many cases fundamentally altering every location you visit. Instead, it feels like what an official remake of Half-Life might have looked like if Valve hadn't let the license lie fallow for so long after Half-Life 2: Episode Two. A skeptic might assume the worst of a fan project of this longevity-that it's a messy, over-scoped, amateur production. Built with obvious attention to detail, it's polished, engaging, and surprisingly beautiful. For all the time it took to make, Black Mesa is a striking creation.

Five years after the game was released, with Valve's permission, as an Early Access title on Steam, and just a few weeks before the release of Half-Life: Alyx, Valve's attempt at bringing some shine back to the franchise's name ( in virtual reality!), the full 1.0 build of Black Mesa is complete. In 2006, the group, which started as a 13-person team that eventually became known as the the Crowbar Collective, got down to work rebuilding one of the most beloved games in the history of the medium. The Black Mesa project began around 2005 as a collaboration between a couple of modding groups with the same idea. Not a simple port, like Valve had done with its poorly received Half-Life: Source, but a remake, one that leveraged the strengths of the Source engine to make that original game new again. Another of those projects was Black Mesa, an attempt to rebuild the original Half-Life in its entirety for the Source engine. The Half-Life 2 fan community rapidly became a hub for a vast, robust scene of modders, folks who produced incredible games like Dear Esther and The Stanley Parable-both of which would eventually get ported to different game engines and released as stand-alone titles, and both of which had a huge impact on the future of gaming. ![]() Putting the project back in hibernation for the time being.It was that last one-the modabilty of the Source engine-that players truly embraced.

Here we should also note that Pacific Ring of Fire, where subduction is taking place at numerous trenches that border the continental shores, has 450 volcanoes, more than 75% of all the volcanoes on Earth. The most visible example is Andes Mountains off the west coast of the U.S. Continental volcanic arcs are chains of volcanoes found on the margin of the continent above a subduction zone at ocean-continent boundaries. At ocean-continent boundaries, the resulting body of volcanoes is called a continental volcanic arc. Thus Volcanoes are common on Ocean-Continent Boundary also. When the oceanic plate is subducted under the continental plate, it leads to the generation of new magma, which upwells and forms volcanoes on the non-subducting plate, or the continental plate. When an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate, the oceanic plate is always pulled under and subducted because it is denser than the continental plate. Ocean-Continental Convergent BoundaryĬonvergence of an oceanic plate with a continental plate is similar to ocean-ocean convergence and often results in the volcanic. All of them have developed parallel to the direction of subduction. Examples of such arcs are Japan, the Philippines, the Tonga Islands, the Aleutian Islands, and the West Indies Islands etc. Thus, Island volcanic arcs are a chain of islands and mountains that form on the overriding or non-subducting oceanic plate. An island volcanic arc may include islands that develop in the sea from the build-up of volcanic rocks. Island Volcanic ArcĪt ocean-ocean convergent boundaries, the resulting body of many volcanoes is called an island volcanic arc. Areas of ocean-ocean convergence are characterized by ocean trenches, seafloor volcanoes, and volcanic islands. Therefore it easily rises and erupts on the seafloor, ultimately building a volcano or a volcanic island in the sea. Please note that when one oceanic plate is subducted under the other, the resulting new magma is less dense than the surrounding rock. Such boundary would be called an Ocean-ocean convergent plate boundary. It descends into the asthenosphere, or upper mantle, where it will lead to the generation of new magma. When two oceanic plates meet and collide against each other, the denser of the two plates is pulled under the other and is subducted. There are following types of Convergent Boundaries: Ocean-Ocean Convergent Plate Boundary The convergent plate boundaries are also responsible for nearly 75% of Earth’s volcanoes. Comparison: Divergent and Convergent Plate Boundaries.Transform Plate Boundaries: where plates slide past one another.Divergent Plate boundaries: where plates move away from each other.Convergent Plate Boundaries: where plates move toward each other.There are three types of plate boundaries: Plate interiors have much fewer earthquakes. The plate boundaries can be identified because they are zones along which maximum earthquakes occur. While the continents do indeed appear to drift, they do so only because they are part of larger plates that float and move horizontally on the upper mantle asthenosphere. The above discussed Lithospheric Plates are composed of lithosphere, about 100 km thick, that “float” on the plastic asthenosphere. The recent studies show that they may be different parts of two different plates. The Austral-Indian plate is mostly oceanic lithosphere but contains two cores of continental lithosphere– Australia and peninsular India.The continent of Antarctica forms a central core of continental lithosphere completely surrounded by oceanic lithosphere. This means that the other plates are moving away from the pole. The Antarctic plate is almost completely enclosed by a spreading plate boundary.The great Pacific plate occupies much of the Pacific Ocean basin and consists almost entirely of oceanic lithosphere.It is a mix of continental and oceanic lithosphere. African Plate is also known as the Nubia Plate.Most part of the Eurasian plate is continental lithosphere, but it is fringed on the west and north by a belt of oceanic lithosphere.American plate includes most of the continental lithosphere of North and South America.Some important notable observations about these plates are as follows: The below graphics shows these Lithospheric Plates.
