    Cam, I'm glad you got to gain experience in an area we haven't spent much time on. I can't wait to hear more about it when we get back to class!

Neuronote #2

On Wednesday we were given the opportunity to attend the Memphis Rolling Grizzlies practice. The Rolling Grizzlies are a group of guys that are athletic, entertaining, and very inspiring. The individuals who make up the team all have different backgrounds, lifestyles, and goals, however there are two things they all share; they love the game of basketball and they play in the National Wheelchair Basketball Association (NWBA). For those of you who think the words disabled or paralyzed entails that someone is unable to compete or perform in an athletic sense get in contact with me and I’ll take you to the next practice and be more than happy to show just how wrong you are. We watched them practice for two hours, and I honestly hadn’t realized that even 30 minuets had gone by because I was so engaged and amazed with what I saw.

However, this did not stop us, we stayed at school and worked until it was complete. I was actually very impressed with how well we came together and were able to make a great plan for our groups meeting.

I felt that we each equally delivered on this project. We were able to come together and decide on a plan that I believe flowed very well. My main take away from this experience was how it felt to actually be the leader, even if just in a simulation. It also made me very excited for the opportunity to actually lead a group in my up coming level 2 fieldwork....

Casestudy - Dementia - Caroline M.

Caroline did her presentation over her grandmother who had Alzheimer's.  Alzheimer's is a type of dementia that causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior. Caroline talked about specifically how her grandmother stopped doing almost everything she loved to do during the middle stages.  Alzheimer's is the most common form of dementia,  a general term for memory loss and other cognitive abilities serious enough to interfere with daily life. Alzheimer's disease accounts for 60 to 80 percent of dementia cases.  Originally they weren't sure if she was just getting older or actually had an underlying issue. Caroline stated that slight symptoms began developing as early as 6 years before the diagnosis.  The most common early symptom of Alzheimer's is difficulty remembering newly learned information because Alzheimer's changes typically begin in the part of the brain that affects learning. As Alzheimer's advances through the brain it leads to increasingl...
