Autism and The Transition to Adulthood Discussion

Do you believe Jeff, Craig, and Maria will be able to advocate for themselves in employment, leisure, and community situations in the future?Do they need ongoing advocacy support?Please respond to student discussion. DO NOT include in question.According to the information pertaining to Jeff, it was in his best interest to live at home during his freshmen year of college to give him the cushion of losing some of the daily supports that he would have in the secondary school setting. This will give him that time to adjust and attain more real world skills in advocating for himself. It also states that he will be living with two roommates with 10 hours of support per week, which allows for the development of his leisure and community abilities as well. This minimal support could be faded out as his college years progress, leading him to moving out on his own and living without roommates or support.Craig will need assistance of some kind for a while longer, maybe for the majority of his independent living situations. His behavior and self harm activities need to continue to be monitored to ensure that nothing bad happens to him that could be prevented. He will do well developing his leisure activities while living around other people that he is unfamiliar with as well.Maria seems to have found a great living situation which will continue to support her needs. She will be living with people who care to meet her needs and help her feel comfortable which will greatly contribute to her leisure activities development. Maria will be able to access advocacy if she needs it, but at this time it seems as though she will be getting the proper amount of assistance to meet her needs. Maria wants to own a home of her own in her life and this a very realistic goal that ties directly into her ability to self-advocate in all settings, which will continue to get better as well.Wehman, P., Smith, M. D., & Schall, C. (2012). Autism and the transition to adulthood success beyond the classroom. Baltimore: Paul H. Brookes Pub.(LIZ)Jeff is attending college and living in a supervised place away from home. He has support services each week to work with him on planning meals, money management, and household chores. Jeff is enjoying living on his own. With continued support services, he will be able to advocate for himself as an adult.Craig is living away from home in a residential house with two roommates who have disabilities. He has continuous support from staff on site. Household activities, money management, and shopping are all services provided to residents (training or have them done). Craig continues to need support with making decisions and will most likely need to have an advocate to ensure his rights are addressed.Maria seems the most prepared for advocating for herself. Her transition team (including her mother) encouraged her to think about future housing. Maria lives in a house with another woman who supports her when needed (reduced rent). She is definitely the most independent of the three adults. I believe Maria’s mother is a big reason for her success (interest profile).(BEA)I believe they will be able to advocate for themselves at a certain point. They will need to be trained on what to do in certain situations like jobs and independent living but they can learn to advocate for themselves. I believe they will still need someone to take care of them with their finances and help them to manage their money and bank accounts, for that, they will need support I believe for the rest of their lives. They will all need some type of assistance with his social skills and also with their jobs but I believe they will all learn to advocate for themselves at some point mostly with finances, Maria more than Jeff and Craig since she struggles more with numbers than the boys (Wehman, 2009). They will always need advocacy since they are vulnerable in many situations therefore, its best for them to have the support they need just in case.ReferenceWehman, P., Datlow Smith, M., & Schall, C.

GO19_AC_CH02_GRADER_2F_AS – Events and Clients 1.0
  
Project Description:
In this project, you will use a database to answer questions about facilities that the college rents to community and private organizations. You will import an Excel spreadsheet as a new table in the database, create a relationship between two tables, and create queries using numeric, compound, and wildcard criteria using the fields in one or both tables. You will create calculated fields, group data when calculating statistics, create a crosstab query, and create a parameter query.
     
Start   Access. Open the file Student_Access_2F_Events_Clients.accdb   downloaded with this project.
 
Import   the records from the downloaded Excel file named a02F_Rental_Clients.xlsx as a new table named Rental Clients into the database. Use the first row   of the Excel worksheet as the table column headings, and set Rental Client ID   as the primary key. Complete the wizard and do not save the import steps.   After importing the data, open the Rental Clients table, apply Best Fit to   the table, and then save and close the table.
 
Using   Rental Client ID as the common field, create a one-to-many relationship   between the Rental Clients table and the Events table. Enforce referential   integrity and enable both cascade options. Create a relationship report with   normal margins, and then save the report as Relationships   Report.   Close all open objects.
 
Create   a query in Query Design view based on the Events table to answer the   question, What is the Event Name, Rental Client ID, Rental Fee, and Facility   for rental fees greater than or equal to 500,   sorted in ascending order by the Rental Client ID? Sort the records in   ascending order by the Rental Client ID field. Run the query (11 records   display). Save the query as Fees $500 or More Query,   and then close the query.
 
Copy   the Fees $500 or More Query to create a new query with the name Jul-Aug Afternoon Events Query.   Redesign the query to answer the question, What is the Event Name, Time,   Date, Rental Fee, and Event ID when the Time is in the afternoon and the Date is between 7/1/22 and 8/31/22, sorted in ascending order by the Date   field? Do not display the Time field in the query results. Run the query   (four records display). Close the query, saving the changes to the query.
 
Create   a query in Query Design view based on the Events table to answer the   question, What is the Event Name, Event Type, Facility, and Rental Fee for a   facility of White Sands Music Hall   or Theater   and a rental fee that is greater than 500,   sorted in ascending order by the Facility field and in descending order by   the Rental Fee field? Run the query   (three records display). Save the query as WS OR Theater   Over $500 Query, and then close the query.
 
Create   a query in Query Design view based on both tables to answer the question,   What is the Event Name, Facility, Renter Name, and Rental Fee for a facility   that has field   in any part of its name, sorted in descending order by the Rental Fee field?   Run the query (five records display). Save the query as Field Usage Query, and then close the query.
 
Create   a query in Query Design view based on the Events table to answer the   question, In ascending order by the Event ID, Rental Fee and the Alumni Donation calculated when the Alumni Association   donates an amount equal to 10 percent (0.1)   of each rental fee amount?  Run the query (the first record—EVENT-1244—has   an Alumni Donation of 150).
 
Display   the query in Design view. In the fourth column of the design grid, create a   new field named Total Donation   that will that will answer the question, What is the total donation when the   rental fee amount is added to the alumni’s donation amount? Run the query   (the first record—EVENT-1244—has   a Total Donation of $1650).
 
Display   the query in Design view. Use the Property Sheet to format the Alumni   Donation field as Currency with 0 decimal places and the Total Donation field   with 0 decimal places, and then close the Property Sheet. Run the query,   apply Best Fit to the fields, save the query as Alumni Donation Query,   and then close the query.
 
Create   a query in Query Design view based on the Events table and the Sum aggregate   function to answer the question, What are the total rental fees paid for each   event type, sorted in descending order by the summed Rental Fee field? Use   the Property Sheet to format the Rental Fee field with 0 decimal places, and   then close the Property Sheet. Run the query (for the Event Type of Sports,   the sum of the rental fees is $8,900). Apply Best Fit to the fields, save the   query as Fees by Event Query,   and then close the query.
 
Use   the Query Wizard to create a crosstab query based on the Events table with   the Time field as row headings and the Event Type field as column headings.   Sum the Rental Fee field, and name the query Event Time and   Type Crosstab Query. Display the query in Design view. Use   the Property Sheet to format the last two columns with 0 decimal places, and   then close the Property Sheet.

Action Research Implementation and Data Collection Case Analysis

Action Research Implementation and Data Collection Case Assignment  The case in Module 4 builds upon your work in Module 3. Referring back to Module 3:In a 4- to 6-page paper, address the following task:State a hypothetical or actual business problem that might lend itself to action research.  Provide a description of the problem and identify what questions need to be answered. Then, briefly outline a plan that includes the action that is proposed to be taken. Briefly identify what type of data would likely result from the proposed action. Describe how you might evaluate and reflect on the data and what action you may consider taking in the next iteration. In Module 4, select three different methods of data collection that you intend to use in your action research. Briefly discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each approach. Explain your rationale for the method selection, including a discussion of why the data collection method is suitable for addressing the problem or issue under consideration. Further, explain how you would organize and carry out the data collection. Finally, describe specifics regarding how you might reflect upon the data and use it to prepare for taking action with resulting solutions. (4-6 pages added to your case paper in Module 3.Your 4- to 6-page paper must follow APA formatting and demonstrate clarity, depth, and critical thinking. As you answer the questions posed in this case, include supporting rationale and cited sources.The assignment will be assessed using the Case Study Rubric. The following readings are required for Module 4.  Optional readings can be found at the end of each section and while not required, may help you understand the material better and be useful to you if you choose to conduct a case study research method for your doctoral study.  All readings can be accessed in the Trident Online library, unless linked to another source.Methods of Data Collection in Action ResearchAction research, in the same manner as case study research, is fundamentally an inductive undertaking that makes use of an array of qualitative research and data collection techniques.  Since the objective of action research is to answer questions, reflect, and to take steps to solve problems—it is essential to build a holistic view of the situation and context. Multiple sources of evidence are brought together, compared and contrasted, and assessed in such a way that the specific nature of the problem and required action becomes clear.  The specific categories of the data collection effort will depend upon the specific context under study, but will likely include at least several of the following:Ethics in data collectionA common thread observed throughout Action Research is the involvement of and interaction with people.  Researchers therefore have a responsibility to maintain the highest levels of ethics and integrity when interacting with research subjects.  A researcher who is using human subjects in research is expected to use the following guiding principles:These principles are a few of many that are considered by the University Institutional Research Board (IRB). The function of the IRB is to examine all proposed research methodologies for validity as well as acceptable ethical practice. Finally, at no time may research proceed without IRB approval.Results, reflection, and intentionThe qualitative results that are developed from the applied methodology provide significant data upon which to consider and reflect. This is the time to ask again, “What problem is it that I am trying to solve?”, “Have I gotten to the bottom of the issues?”, and “What steps do I need to take as a result of my analysis?” These are questions that require significant thought—hence the focus on reflection within action research. Eventually though it is time to put your findings in action. Principles of project management provide tools to aid in acting upon findings. For example, proposed actions arising from action research data collection may be thought of as a project. They may be scoped out (i.e., deciding what specifically must be done or delivered), planned (who performs the actions, and how and when they are performed), executed or carried out, monitored and controlled through completion, and then closed. It should be remembered however that action research is iterative in nature. When an action is completed—data is once again collected for reflection in order to determine if further action is required.  It may well take more than one cycle of data collection, reflection, action plan, and implementation in order to complete the action research activity.Is action research for you?Problem-solving is an important skill required of senior managers and consultants. A traditional difficulty of problem-solving is the tendency for management to fail to grasp the totality of the issues under study and as a result, devise a plan that “solves the wrong problem”. Action research is both a research as well as a management technique that has the potential to equip managers with the ability to work with stakeholders within organizations to identify, analyze, and reflect upon problems or known systemic issues—and devise and refine sophisticated solutions. Action research therefore has the potential for the manager to demonstrate both research as well as management and leadership skills in a concrete manner.  If you are ready to “get your hands dirty” and demonstrate your intellectual and management capacities—action research may well be for you.Dick, B.

Managerial Epidemiology Cases & Concepts Responses

STUDENT POST 1:Cost-effective analysis helps to determine whether health care resources are going where they are needed the most. With the high cost of health care services in the U.S. and the vast health disparities that continue to exist around the world, cost effective analysis seems more vital than ever. “Cost effective analysis is imperative because it assists in finding interventions that are relatively inexpensive, yet have the ability to significantly reduce poverty and disease. Cost effective analysis provides a way to consider the gains of an intervention versus the costs and risks, straightforwardly comparing the economic and scientific consequences of any given program” (Unite for Sight, n.d.). To calculate cost effective analysis, monetary cost of the intervention would be divided by the expected health gain. Some pros of the cost effective analysis model are: comparing the same disease, but with different programs, comparing different disease with different intervention methods, and comparing different programs for the same demographic group. Most third-world countries have limited resources, and so will see the importance in using the most cost effective interventions available. To use cost effectiveness to the best of its ability, it is important to remember the people and region affected, and the services that the interventions will cover. Also, to consider whether the intervention will be doing enough to fight the main causes of the disease using preventative measures. Some cons of cost-effective analysis are that different countries can put out wildly different cost estimates depending on the scope, time and travel needed. To determine which cost-effective evaluation works best, the measures between benefit and harm would need to be analyzed. Evaluating cost effective measures takes into account which ones will be the most beneficial to the targeted population, while doing the least amount of harm. The benefits and harms of a cost-effective program must carefully be identified to see whether they are measurable or not. To be able to measure a program’s effectiveness results in the most accurate information being available. “A number of different measures of effect may be useful in the cost-effectiveness analysis. The most common measures of effect in cost-effectiveness analysis are related either to changes in morbidity or survival. Epidemiologists are critical in securing such information, particularly morbidity, since programs designed to eliminate or reduce risk factors should lead to less disease in future years” (Fleming, 2008). The usefulness of a program’s effectiveness stems on how it measures longevity and quality of life. If a program is measuring infant mortality related to birth weight, epidemiologists will need to look at how quality of life factored into the life span of the infant. This is a program that would need fairly accurate evaluation measures to be effective. References:Fleming, S. T. (2008). Managerial Epidemiology: Concepts and Cases (3rd ed.). Chicago, IL: Health Administration PressUnite for Sight. (n.d.). Cost Effective Analysis. Retrieved from www.uniteforsight.org/metrics-course/cost-effectivenessSTUDENT POST 2:Cost-effectiveness analysis is used to compare the costs and outcomes of alternative policy options.  Each resulting cost-effectiveness ratio represents the magnitude of additional health gained per additional unit of resources spent (Bertram).  The purpose of cost effective analysis is to develop programs, then determine whether the programs are feasible based on the estimated costs of implementing and providing such services.  More specifically, the goal of cost-effective analysis is to provide services to as many individuals with a particular illness, demographic or location for the least amount of cost.  By utilizing cost as a discipline, administrators, based on budgetary constraints, can determine whether a program is feasible or not.  The proposed program may go through a series of revisions before it is considered cost effective to implement.Cost-effectiveness should be used alongside other considerations – e.g. budget impact and feasibility considerations – in a transparent decision-making process, rather than in isolation based on a single threshold value (Bertram).  By focusing on one process, example cost, like any project, trip, or purchase, if the information obtained is incorrect or underestimated, the end result could lead to an ineffective, overpriced program that provides little or no assistance to the demographic it was designed to help.       Cost-effective analysis can be extremely beneficial when comparing interventions with one another, in particular when researchers want to:  compare different programs for the same disease; compare different programs for a certain demographic sector; compare different interventions for different diseases (UNITE FOR SIGHT).  Cost-effective analysis can be extremely useful especially when programs have already been implemented and have a history of success and cost.   In order to use in information about cost-effectiveness of past interventions in the most valuable way possible, it is important to:  Take into account how prices, demographics, epidemiology or service coverage would differ substantially in the specific region; Consider whether or not this intervention targets the chief causes of disease in the country; Decide if the interventions are practical based on the standing establishments and past experiences and assess the cost-effectiveness considering how the intervention is implemented and how items are distributed (UNITE FOR SIGHT).Limitations associated with cost-effective analysis is primarily associated with the inconsistency of how the calculation is performed.  Some studies place the same value on every life regardless of age, whereas other studies take into account how many years an individual has left to live (UNITE FOR SIGHT).  Other factors are whether the costs are fixed or variable.  The administrators would want to fix as many expenses as possible to minimize future price increases.  Analysis, additional costs such as dedication of time and transportation also need to be considered by estimating the costs associated with what could be considered as variable expenses.    Differences in choices of these measurement units significantly impact the interpretation of the analyzed information (UNITE FOR SIGHT).Cost-effective analysis can be a useful tool when duplicate services are provided to a demographic to combat disease. By combining efforts more lives can be touched, expenses can be reduced, resulting in a more cost-efficient program.  Where risks are a concern, is the implementation of a new program.  With the implementation of a new program historical data may not be available, therefore, budgeting is based on estimates.  If the cost estimates are incorrect, or costs that were not anticipated incurred, the results can be devastating to the organization or institution that is implementing the program.  Cost-effective analysis should be transparent and utilized in conjunction with other processes such as budgeting.  By utilizing as many resources as possible, an informed, educated decision can be made to minimize the risk.         ReferencesBertram, Melanie Y., Lauer, Jeremy A., De.Joncheere, Kees, Edejer, Tessa, Hutubessy,            Raymond, Kieny, Marie-Paule, Hill, Suzanne R.

Python Code Text Analysis Worksheet

Text ProcessingModify the script so that it does at least two of the following for better comparisons:Choose two literary works (e.g. Pride and Prejudice, Jane Eyre) and use them to recommend similar works (“If you like Pride and Prejudice, you will also like these works…”). Your program should go through the remaining works and list them under the choice with the higher similarity index. For example, if Dracula is more similar to Jane Eyre than Pride and Prejudice, Dracula should be listed under Jane Eyre.Modify your recommendation program so that it reports the titles of the works rather than their file names. To do this, write a program that reads in the titles.txt file and creates a dictionary that looks up the title using the file name. This dictionary should then be used to report the works by their title instead of their file name.Code:import osimport mathdef count_word(table, word): ‘for the word entry in the table, increment its count or init to 1′ if word in table: table[word] += 1 else: # initialize count of word to 1 table[word] = 1def analyze(): ”’read all texts from the docs folder, report similarity comparisons among all pairs”’ doc_table = dict() word_set = set() os.chdir(‘docs’) fileList = os.listdir() for fname in fileList: print(“Opening ” + fname) fd = open(fname, “r”, encoding=”utf8″) doc_table[fname] = dict() data = fd.read() print(“splitting”) dataList = data.split() print(“{} has {} words”. format(fname, len(dataList))) for word in dataList: word_set.add(word) count_word(doc_table[fname], word) fd.close() os.chdir(‘..’) # return to parent directory for fname in fileList: for fname2 in fileList: sim = similarity(doc_table[fname], doc_table[fname2], word_set) print(“{:.2f} : {} vs. {}”.format(sim, fname, fname2))def build_title_file(): “creates titles.txt based on works in the docs folder” tfd = open(“titles.txt”, “w”) os.chdir(‘docs’) fileList = os.listdir() for fname in fileList: print(“Opening ” + fname) fd = open(fname, “r”, encoding=”utf8″) for line in fd: if “Title: ” in line: tfd.write(fname + “n”) tfd.write(line[7:]) break fd.close() os.chdir(“..”) # return to parent directory tfd.close()def similarity(tableA, tableB, words): ‘return cosine similarity between tableA and tableB over all words’ ab = 0 a2 = 0 b2 = 0 for w in words: ab += tableA.get(w, 0) * tableB.get(w, 0) a2 += tableA.get(w, 0) * tableA.get(w, 0) b2 += tableB.get(w, 0) * tableB.get(w, 0) return ab / (math.sqrt(a2) * math.sqrt(b2))TXT file: alice_in_wonderland.txtAliceís Adventures in Wonderlanddracula.txtDraculafrankenstein.txtFrankensteinjane_eyre.txtJane Eyremoby_dick.txtMoby Dick; or The Whalepride_and_prejudice.txtPride and Prejudicetale_of_two_cities.txtA Tale of Two Citiesudolpho.txtThe Mysteries of Udolphowizard_of_oz.txtThe Wonderful Wizard of Oz

Strategic Plan Proposal for Corrections in Chicago Discussion

You will then conduct research on your selected city to find a current criminal justice issue related to the city. Consider what position you want to hold in the future when researching issues in your chosen city. You may be able to find an issue to address in your capstone project that resembles what you want to do; this will help you showcase the relevant skills you have developed in this program. Whatever issue you select should be highly publicized so that you can use it as the basis of your problem analysis.Your journal assignment should state your scenario, your city, and your chosen issue. Briefly explain why you made these selections.would chose Probation/Parole Officer as positionChicago, IL is the city that have chosen for this.Scenario B: CorrectionsYou are in a leadership position in a fictitious organization located in the city you selected. The Wokefield County Jail is the fictitious corrections department in your selected city. This organization has experienced some shortcomings as a result of the state’s budget restraints in the previous year. The Wokefield County Jail currently has over 30 full-time vacancies due to insufficient funding for those positions. The Wokefield County Jail is struggling to maintain the national average (and desired) officer-to-inmate ratio of five correctional officers for every inmate. As a result, the inherent danger to the existing employees has risen dramatically. Some correctional officers are contemplating leaving the organization due to the perceived unnecessary risk to their safety. The Wokefield Department of Corrections currently has 120 correctional officers. The annual budget for the Wokefield County Jail is $28 million. Most of the budget (71%) is spent on two things: inmate services (such as rehabilitation programs) and the annual salaries of employees. In addition to problem of employee vacancies, the state wants to cut an additional $1 million from the budget in the upcoming fiscal year.Due to recent policy changes at the Wokefield Police Department, there has been an increase in the number of arrests made per month. The number of arrests nearly doubled from the 203 arrests in the previous month. You are a recently promoted regional director within the Wokefield County Jail. It is your job is to supervise, plan, and coordinate the operations and planning of both inmate and correctional officer activities. You will provide a strategic planning proposal to the county sheriff to solve an external issue while also considering the internal issues occurring within the organization.The Wokefield County Jail’s mission statement is the following:To create and maintain a county jail that is secure and safe for both inmates and staff, and that meets or surpasses all governmental requirements and standard operating procedures, the Wokefield County Jail will also provide opportunities for inmates to improve their lives and deal with personal issues.

Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program.  This document is found at the link titled Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program  (Volume 1).  You will find the portions you’ll need for this week on pages 2.3-2.6 (Exercise types) and 3.1 (the 8 step process).  FOCUS POINTSHaving reviewed the basics of exercise design last week, this week we dig deeper.  Look at each of the design steps so you can begin the thought process that will go into developing your  exercise.  The chapter on the TTX will take you beyond the discussion-based exercises.One of the most valuable collection of resources you will use this summer and for the rest of your career is the HSEEP.  We will use several of the files in HSEEP this semester, so look them over, ask questions, think about the ones your group will need during the semester.As you develop your portion of your  exercise, you will need to think about available resources.  That’s where the Liberty County files come into play.  Look them over with an eye towards your group’s scenario.  If a resource you think you need is in there, you may use.  If a resource isn’t there, it is not available to you.Here are a few good youtube videos you may want to review.  I only chose ones that were under an hour long.  Feel free to look at youtube yourself for others.  Team Rubicon has several, but they are all full length, often more than 4 hours.Healthcare TTX Active shooter How to conduct a TTX Another active shooter   General information
