Answer by Roger C
The Paralympics caters for a very broad range of physical disabilities.For this question to make any sense in the real world you have to provide an exact and relevant definition for “severe”.

Question by Marcus Arezzo: How could any prideful football fan get over a LOPSIDED loss such as this one? Oklahoma folks?

In the national championship game that was hyped to be “the game of the century”? To watch their beloved team go down in such a horrid and humiliating fashion?

What horror! What nightmare! Wil this forever cripple their ability to think objectively about things? Will such a lopsided football loss damage their brain functions?

Now I’m starting to understand their “I hate USC syndrome”…
Okay Austin we all know you are a phony so quit putting on that “I’m an USC fan act” and enjoy this LOPSIDED LOSS.
the fighting tigers fails.

This is the VOA Unique English Engineering Report, from voaspecialenglish.com | http Because the nineteen seventies, experts have been browsing for approaches to website link the brain with pcs. Mind-laptop or computer interface, or BCI, engineering could support men and women with disabilities send out instructions to devices. Not long ago, experts demonstrated a small robotic automobile directed by a person’s thoughts. The demonstration took place at the Swiss embassy in Washington. Jose Millan and Michele Tavella formulated the system. Mr. Tavella can even talk as he watches the motor vehicle and guides it with his thoughts.Mr. Tavella is a researcher at the Federal Polytechnic School in Lausanne, Switzerland. In the laboratory, he can work a wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right hand.Professor Millan is the staff leader. He claims programs like people being formulated in Lausanne and other areas may be accessible in significantly less than 10 years. The goal is to give folks with physical disabilities new ways to talk and management gadgets via brain-device interfaces.Our brain has billions of nerve cells. These send signals via the spinal cord to the muscle tissue to give us the capacity to move. But spinal cord injuries or other situations can avert these weak electrical indicators from reaching the muscles.The researchers designed a particular cap for the user. It captures the signals from the scalp and redirect them to a pc. The personal computer interprets the indicators and commands the motorized …

Maybe bidding for 2020 and 2024 is kinda late but New Orleans can bid for the 2028 Summer Olympics

Question by starlitewishes11: How could a hearing impairment be diagnosed by child’s drawings?
I am doing a research project for school, and interviewed one of my friend’s mother’s, who is a speech and language pathologist. One of the answers she gave during the interview was this:

I once worked with a “boy who could not read. He was smart and memorized all the books they read aloud in class so no one knew he couldn’t read. He also had some trouble expressing himself with language and so he became my student as well. It was so puzzling, he just did not make progress even though I could see he was trying to do what I asked. I finally sat in a room with a huge blackboard and gave him some chalk. He drew for over 30 minutes and used the entire board. It was a very detailed and elaborate drawing of buildings, railroads tracks and other items. It meant nothing to me but it was striking and seemed significant so I took pictures of it and showed them to a psychologist (this is where a team is important.) Withing minutes of looking at the photos the psychologist said, “This kid has a hearing loss.” I was dumbstruck. We arranged for a comprehensive hearing test and guess what- he was hearing impaired. We would have not figured it out if he did not have the chance to express himself though art.”

My question is, how could the psychologist have known so soon that the boy had a hearing impairment? Do you think it had something to do with what he was drawing specifically? I’ve tried asking my friend’s mom too, and she said she has never understood it either. Just thought maybe somebody would have some ideas?

There are several things in this story that don’t add up. I work with children with hearing loss, and not a single one of them was diagnosed by their drawing ability. I doubt that you have been told the entire story. The psychologist may have talked to the SLP about his symptoms and other things she observed before ‘diagnosing’ him. Also, a proper Psychologist would never try to diagnose a hearing loss. He should have referred him to get his hearing tested.

Hmm…I don’t know. I would say that the psychologist is a very talented person! I think maybe it’s because since he has a hearing loss, he spends more time looking at his surroundings to find out information than the average kid with normal hearing does. Humans get information through 5 senses – taste, touch, sight, smell, and sound. Without one sense working properly (in this case, his hearing), then the person learns to rely on the other 4 senses to gather information about the world around them.

I do that all the time. I have a hearing loss, and I find out what’s going on around me mostly through sight and touch, along with the other senses. A lot of times, I don’t realize that people are taking to me until they either touch me or make some sort of movement that catches my eye. I find out about events happening around me not by hearing them, but by seeing them and feeling them. I don’t wait until a car passes by to cross the street because I heard it, I know to wait because I looked for cars, and I felt the breeze change or get stronger as a car went by. I don’t answer the door at my house because I heard the doorbell, I answer it because I see the car drive up the driveway, and I feel the vibrations of the car. (I spend a lot of time in my bedroom, and my room is right by the driveway. My windows are always open, so I see cars drive by, and since our driveway is gravel, I can feel the car driving up faintly, just enough to know someone is here.)

I just adjust how I receive information so that my hearing impairment doesn’t get in the way of me knowing what’s going on. I’m sure that they boy with the hearing loss does that, too. Since he probably paid a lot of attention to his surroundings, like the details of the buildings, or how the railroad tracks are constructed, he could draw them. Now, ask some random person to draw a building, and more likely than not, they will draw a rectangle with some square windows and a door. Why? Because they usually don’t spend a lot of time looking at details of things like buildings. I’m assuming that the drawing were a little bit more elaborate than just a rectangle with some squares.

So, that’s how I think that the psychologist knew that the boy had a hearing loss. Hope this helps!
