#InspirationalSunday

📌The life of Marla Runyan is very inspirational. She is a highly decorated United States Olympic gold medalist who is also blind. At nine years old Runyan developed Stargardt’s Disease, a form of macular degradation, that left her legally blind. Nevertheless, she took the bull by the horns and began a lifetime hobby of running.

🏆Marla Runyan is a three-time American champion in the women’s 5000-meter run. She won four gold medals in the 1992 summer Paralympics. In the 1996 Paralympics, she won silver in the shot put and gold in the Pentathlon, which is a five-part event including fencing, shooting, riding, swimming and cross country running.

🏆One might think this was enough fame and glory for a lifetime, but Runyan continued her athletic success. She holds various American records such as:

🥇20,000 Road (2003).
🥇All-female Marathon (2002).
🥇500m (2001).
🥇Heptathlon (1996).

👉🏾In 2001, she co-wrote and published her autobiography 'No Finish Line: My Life As I See It.' [Culled from: https://achievementcenteroftexas.org/2017/08/10/7-famous-people-special-needs//]

📌Myth: People with autism spectrum disorders are intellectually disabled and cannot be be involved in higher education or professions.

💡Fact: Autism spectrum disorders include people from a wide range of intellectual capacity. Although research shows that a high percentage do have intellectual disabilities, many with milder forms, such as Asperger syndrome, are highly intelligent, earn graduate degrees, and are successful professionals.

#FactualFriday

📌One of the most memorable moments in the lives of expectant parents comes when they first see the image of their baby on the ultrasound screen. It’s the moment, for many, when a pregnancy really becomes real, when it finally becomes possible to grasp the fact that a new human being is developing inside the mother’s body. It’s also a moment that visually impaired or blind parents are deprived of.

📌However, technology has made it possible to create 3D printed models of an unborn child from ultrasound images so that blind parents can visualize the faces of their children in the same way they would visualize the face of anyone else, through touch.

📌It's a fact that touch is a very powerful sense for those who are visually impaired or blind and can’t rely on their eyes for information. By feeling the contours of the face, the shape of the nose and lips, a blind or visually impaired person can get a strong impression of what their unborn child looks like.

#HistoryThrowbackThursday

📌Today we're throwing it back to 1957 when the book 'Verbal Behavior' was published by the American psychologist Burrhus Frederic Skinner, commonly known as B.F. Skinner.

📌In the book, Skinner presents verbal behavior as a function of controlling consequences and stimuli.

📌It was this book that introduced the popular four-term contingency model in Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA), which consists of a motivating operation (MO), discriminative stimulus (SD), response (R), and reinforcement(Srein) [Credit: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verbal_Behavior/].

📌If you are considering entering the field of special education, you are taking advantage of an opportunity not afforded to many people in previous generations. So let's learn from special education history and make progress into a brighter future for individuals with special needs.
