Do you hear what I see? How blindness changes how you process the sound of movement

👁️‍🗨️ Fascinating study reveals how blind people excel in auditory motion detection, offering insights into the brain's adaptability. Learn about this groundbreaking research in sensory perception. #AuditoryMotion #BrainScience #SensoryPerception

Ione Fine, University of Washington and Woon Ju Park, University of Washington Almost nothing in the world is still. Toddlers dash across the living room. Cars zip across the street. Motion is one of the most important features in the environment; the ability to predict the movement of objects in the world is often directly related to survival – whether it’s a gazelle detecting the slow creep of…

I owe @vavroom an apology for not seeing the links the first 2 times No excuse-just explaining: the dark theme in Tweetdeck makes links blue on a black background.

Omg. AXS and flash seats are the WORST! I never thought I’d say good things about Ticketmaster…. But god I these tix were through ticketmaster. Any have any experience with flash seats? I need to sell a pair of tickets and it’s a huge pain in the ass and they only let you resell through their site. But I’m guessing, like myself… Most other people have never heard of their site and won’t even know to go look there. Proprietary in the WORST way. I’m not even trying to scalp. I just want to resell for face value plus service fees to recoup my cost. UGH!

From Personal Journey to Global Impact: Berna Bouwer on Inclusive Education in the UAE from Antonio Vieira Santos on Vimeo.

What happens when an educator's personal journey intersects with a mission for global inclusion? Berna Bouwer, the Corporate Head of Inclusion at GEMS Education, shares her compelling journey from South Africa to Dubai, fueled by her passion for special needs education, a journey deeply influenced by her own experiences with ADHD and her son's cerebral palsy diagnosis. Berna's story is more than personal; it's a testament to the transformative power of inclusive education in a region as diverse as the UAE, where schools celebrate a rich tapestry of up to 129 nationalities. 

Join us as we explore the progressive strides the UAE has made in inclusive education, particularly for individuals with special needs. Despite misconceptions and criticisms, the UAE's unique compliance frameworks offer a refreshing contrast to the litigation-heavy approaches found elsewhere. Berna, drawing on her extensive experience, highlights how the UAE's comprehensive regulatory measures and innovative practices align with the nation's vision for an accessible and inclusive education system that champions tolerance and acceptance.

But the journey doesn't stop at progress—there are challenges too. From the high financial burden on parents to the hurdles faced in employment for individuals with disabilities, the road to inclusion is fraught with obstacles. We'll touch on poignant stories that highlight both the triumphs and trials, such as the young woman with Down syndrome navigating communication barriers and a high-functioning student with ASD striving for future opportunities. This episode promises to provide insights into the UAE's leadership in assistive technology while addressing the pressing need for more affordable and effective solutions in inclusive education.
