Transcript: For my dissertation topic, I have chosen to look into the use of psychology in advertising. I have chosen this as I think that it is interesting to learn about different techniques used by advertising companies to sell us products, both obvious, and bordering on subliminal. Examples of psychology in advertising I intend to discover whether psychology in advertising is an innocent marketing tool or whether it is a form of manipulation, to play on the emotions of the consumer. The history of psychology in advertising How it has changed throughout the years Psychology to sell 'bad' products - tobacco/alcohol etc. Psychology to sell products to children - unethical? Whether psychology in advertising is manipulative or just a form of marketing. The future of psychology within advertising What is psychology in advertising? What is psychology? Psychology is the scientific study of mental functions and behaviors with the immediate goal of understanding individuals and groups.

The study identified 4 high performing states (Texas, Utah, Mississippi and Maryland) and asked the following main case study research questions 1) what are the specific best practices that appear to be evidence-based and transportable to other state VR agencies, and 2) what are the best models of effective practice, policy, and procedures among state VR agencies that result in the creation of an environment that promotes innovation and the effective delivery of services to assist individuals with disabilities to achieve employment outcomes? Multiple domains were noted across the three organizational levels within each state agency for senior managers, mid-level managers and selected counselors and other staff involved with the agency’s innovations and best practices.

A transformational leader embodies the qualities that he/she wants in his/her team. In this case, the followers see the leader as a model to emulate. For the followers, it is easy to believe and trust in a transformational leader. • Inspirational Motivation (IM) – Transformational leaders have the ability to inspire and motivate followers through having a vision and presenting that vision. Combined, these first two I's are what constitute the transformational leader's charisma. A transformational leader manages to inspire the followers easily with clarity. The transformational leader convinces the followers with simple and easy-to-understand words as well as with their own image. • Individualized Consideration (IC) – Transformational leaders demonstrate genuine concern for the needs and feelings of followers and help them self-actualize. This personal attention to each follower assists in developing trust among the organization's members and their authority figure(s). Teams are able to rely on and work together so decisions can be made more quickly, the transformational leader increases their buy-in. • Intellectual Stimulation (IS) – the leader challenges followers to be innovative and creative, they encourage their followers to challenge the status quo. A common misunderstanding is that transformational leaders are "soft," but the truth is that they constantly challenge followers to higher levels of performance (Bass, 1985). Title Organizational culture tends to be unique to a particular organization, composed of an objective and subjective dimension, 35

Transcript: June 17, 2013 1 in 88 children diagnosed with Autism (CDC, 2012) 1 in 76 deaf children also identified with ASD (Szymanski and Brice, 2008) 1 in 59 deaf children also identified with ASD (Szymanski, Brice, Lam, and Hotto,2012) 4 in 60 deaf children also identified with ASD in Region 4 RDSPD self-contained classes Incidence of co-occurring disabilities of hearing impaired and ASD on the rise! What is being used most commonly in programs across the country to best meet their needs? Research Question Introductory email sent. Electronic survey sent to program directors. Placement of Students with Hearing Impairments and ASD Are students with these unique needs best met in deaf classrooms with autism itinerant support or autistic classes with auditory impaired itinerant teacher support? Theoretical Framework Behaviorism July 1, 2013 Applied Behavior Analysis Professional development is lacking and needs to be created. What's the problem? Survey ends with the aim of at least 40 respondents. Refer to page 27. Refer to pages 21-24. Refer to page 7. Peer Interaction Skills Training August 5, 2013 Refer to page 28-32. Refer to page 8-9 Reminders are sent to nonrespondents. What instructional setting best addresses the needs of students with co-occurring disabilities of Autism Spectrum Disorder and hearing impairment? June 3, 2013 There is no consistency among programs across the country. In Home Behavior Training Placement for Students with Co-occurring Disabilities of Hearing Impairment and Autism Spectrum Disorder Proposal Angela Terry Doctoral Student Jones International University Summary Refer to page 11. Methodology Deaf Education 59.9% of deaf children were receiving their instruction in a regular school setting with hearing students and an additional 17.4% received their instruction in a self-contained classroom on a campus with hearing students (Gallaudet Research Institute, 2008). Reasons for these changes can be attributed to several factors including the increased number of students being implanted with cochlear implants, total communication used in self-contained and regular school settings, and the increased focus on academics comparable to hearing students Deaf programs must work to increase the hearing impaired students’ language at all levels and in all areas. Autism Education Most recent approaches have been more eclectic and are correlated between approach and psychological theories about autism (Tutt, Powell, & Thornton, 2006). Ivar Lovaas – a pioneer in the field of autism and home-based intensive behavioral programs Education of Children with Hearing Impairments & ASD Steinberg (2008) identified two needs of education programming these children need: one that identifies concerns early and one that considers both the deafness and the autism so that appropriate interventions can be designed. ABA use is supported by Szymanski et al (2012) Progress on goals and objectives related to language/communication and behavior/social skills Success on state assessment Graduation rate Class for Students with Autism with AI Specialist Support Chapters 4 & 5 completed. Current programs and programming need to be reviewed to find what works for these students. Data is reviewed & analysis completed. Current Trends in Special Education Class for Hearing Impaired With Autism Specialist Support July 2, 2013
