Help Please!!! I Need To Summarize This Paragraph And Don’t Know How. ?
I need to summarize this paragraph and don’t know how. Just started school after 17 years of break and don’t remember ever summarizing any article. Never had to do any in bilingual classes. Please help!!
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease that leads to the breakdown of the cartilage in joints. In people with osteoarthritis, exercise helps maintain good joint health, manage symptoms and prevent functional decline. But studies have shown that the benefits of a structured exercise program are short-lived. The beneficial effects usually fade soon after participation in the program ends. The occupational therapy program in this study was designed to educate osteoarthritis patients about joint protection, proper body mechanisms, activity pacing, and environmental barriers. The participants of the current study were divided into two groups. The first group participated in a structured exercise program and the occupational therapy program. The second group participated in the same exercise program, but received health education in place of the occupational therapy. Only the group that engaged in occupational therapy increased the intensity of
physical activity at the end of the study.
Does A Prestigious Premedical School Give You Leeway Into Med School If You Don’t Have The Grades?
I attend a small liberal arts college known for high acceptance rates into medical school however I am not doing exceptionally well, which is what is required for med school. It is extremely expensive and I am paying for my own education. I have the option of transferring to a school with a lot more career oriented options such as physical and occupational therapy and other health professions. From there I would like to pursue a career then apply to med school. Is it really worth it to stay at a school were my gpa is ok and has the potential of getting worse in comparison to somewhere cheaper where I know I can maintain a better one? Should i salvage my gpa while I can?
School Won’t Follow Iep On Tuesdays Because My Daughter Has Medical Appointments.?
Last May we signed an IEP for my daughter giving her 3.5 hours of special instruction per day to be delivered by a special-ed teacher or a parapro.
They had in their documents, and knew very well at the time that my daughter does not arrive at school until noon on Tuesdays because she has physical and occupational therapy. She has had this schedule for the past two school years. They also have documented that it is doctor ordered and must occur in the morning, early in the week (She is hypotonic).
We called another IEP last week to adjust her goals and the Director of Special Education of the county was sitting at the table when we arrived (ambush?) and proceeded to inform us that, by law, the school did not have to provide her service hours on Tuesdays because we “choose” to take her out of school. So she will not receive any services on Tuesday (even after she arrives!) and we have been told we are free to take her work home and teach it ourselves (which is what we did all last year).
I fail to see how we “choose” it when it is doctor ordered and related to one of her disabilities.
I asked him to cite the law for me which he hasn’t done yet.
How do I fight this??? I don’t want my child missing 20% of her education. Thanks for your help!
P.S. The school doesn’t provide her PT/OT because it is not educationally necessary. So we get it done privately. Again, it is doctor ordered.
Advice On Going Back To School?
I have a two month old son and would like to better myself by going further with my education. I made good grades in school but got into the partying scene and did not graduate. I did get my G.E.D. I am 21 now and am raising my son by myself with no father in his life so I would like to financially be capable of doing it alone. I am interested in physical or occupational therapy assistant and possibly down the road a physical or occupational therapist but need to now how to get started and make it happen. Maybe online courses with having a baby even though I know alot of it will be hands on training. Advice please?
Healthcare In The Army?
I want to do something health care related in the army. I am currently in school and majoring in Athletic Training. I know the army doesn’t have any branch for athletic trainer, the closest thing would be a physical therapies. My two options are Nursing or a Physician Assistant. I’m still up in the air on which one to choice. If anyone is or knows a lot about these two jobs (i.e the work and the experience, I know about the education) it would really help me out. Thanks!
Sports Physical Therapist?
I am very interested in medicine, but I do not think I could handle the rigorous training and studying to become an MD. Sports has always been a huge part of my life, and I have always been interested in therapy so I just put two and two together and figured out I might actually enjoy this work. I have done some research and found out I may need a lot of pre-requisites to get into exercise science. I live in NYC and I am currently attending a college that doesn’t have my major. I can transfer to two colleges in Brooklyn that offer it, but I know the college I’m attending now has a better learning environment so I was wondering if I could possibly take all the required courses here and then transfer to one of the colleges in Brooklyn and declare my major there. I don’t want to DPT I just want to specialize in sports so I have a higher advantage when it comes time for job placement than someone who just has a general education of PT.
Medical Graduate Programs With A Business Degree?
After 18 years in the auto industry and yet another bad layoff, I have concluded that I made a horrible career decision long ago. Once upon a time, I had a dream of pursuing a medical education in college (perhaps physical or occupational therapy), but somewhere down the line I went with my second choice and obtained a Business Admin degree. My question now is this: What can I reasonably look at as far as a career change and reschooling (possibly in a master’s program)? Can I even be accepted into say a physician assistant program with a business background, or am I stuck on this deadend path indefinitely?
Career/major Help?
Hi, I’m a freshman in college and I’m having a hard time picking a major/career path.. I know I’m at the begining of my education and everyone changes their minds alot, but I’d really like to try to sort things out now so I’m not wasting so much time and money (I don’t want loads of debt!!) I’m interested in a bunch of different things, especially languages. Fashion intrests me, but it seems too difficult, teaching sounds ok, but pays peanuts 
and a medical career like dermatology or physical therapy sounds neat, but I don’t want to go to school for an extremely long time… If anyone has any ideas or advice about what to do/how to do/where to go to get an idea on what major/career would be best, or what careers there are in languages, fashion, teaching, or medical careers that don’t involve a PhD, I’d greatly appreciate it! Thanks
What Is The Air Force Like For Women?
I know this is particularly irrelevant, & i would not like to be labeled as only interested in vanity affairs, however I am curious about the routine of a woman in air force service.
I understand basic training must be tough if not physically fit, for men & women.
& I’m sure I should be having conversation with a recruit officer, before I type all these questions online, it’s just I’d like to talk to ordinary people, people not making a living from buttering me up, and jazzing every single sector of service training till it’s been manipulated into something it obviously will not be.
Just a few questions, and please feel free to interject with concerns, or additional, more relevant information. I’m glad to hear it all.
For one, what is it like to do your hair?
Have you found that it is much more convenient to chop it all off, because I am certainly willing to do so. My hair is of moderate to longer length, is full of body, but not overdominatingly wavy.
I sort of just toss my hair into some sort of a neat bun almost every day, however, I am aware in the air force, it must be tight and kept, & almost example of pure perfection. Do you learn to pin you bun up so well?
What about facial waxing, is there ever time after Basic Training to do so?
Do you really take showers with all those women?
& how upon meeting with your recruit officer do you know what career you’d prefer to choose.
I’m nineteen with one year of college under my belt. I am absolutely passionate about education. Embarrassingly enough, perhaps not passionate enough. I fell below the standards of the state grant that I earned, which is a 3.0 , and now I’m stuck in a bind with $14,000 to pay back the government. I really stuck it to myself. I want nothing more than self motivation, but I only think joining the force will align guidelines for me to tap into myself personally & extract the attributes which I happen to be so fond of.
If I had no other alternative but to choose today, my field of choice, it would be psychology ( Scientifically speaking, not clinical work )
Or something medically involved such as physical therapy.
Also wouldn’t mind working day in an out to become an optimotrist, podiatrist, or perhaps a dental assistant.
I might as well be fresh out of high school. I’ve taken many mandatory science classes, & although I cannot say I’m phenominal in the field, it thoroughly interests me. I willing to work harder than I’ve ever given myself credit to achieve possible.
Your comments would mean much to me, thanks.
