In this episode, Lisa and Annie discuss:The Disability Tax teens with physical disabilities and health conditions face as they begin their college journey. Differences in accommodations and support for your student college. How a college technically complying with federal law is different from being 100% accessible for all students and what your teen should consider. The adulting skills your student will need to learn regarding their health conditions.Key Takeaways: The ADA provides for reasonable accommodations. However, those can look different at different universities and colleges and even between programs at the same university or college. There is no perfect college for all students with similar disabilities. The right fit is the one the student chooses after having done the necessary research. Of the schools surveyed by United Spinal, only 16 colleges and universities were 100% physically accessible. Understanding the level of accessibility can be very important for your student and their needs. Manage your expectations - surprises will pop up in college. “The ADA, the Americans with Disabilities Act, also applies to the workplace. So when your student is seeking accommodations in college, that's a good training ground for thinking about what their needs might be later on once they graduate college and go into the workplace.” – Annie TulkinAbout Annie Tulkin: Annie Tulkin is the Founder and Director of Accessible College, as well as an educator, author and public speaker.

After years of teaching, Arianne Craig Jolla says parents, not just educators, need to teach their children. And as the nation celebrates Juneteenth on Monday, Craig Jolla says parents have a wonderful opportunity to educate their children on the history behind the day and the joy of freedom. Juneteenth celebrates the emancipation of the last enslaved blacks after the end of the Civil War. As the author of “Teach Your OWN Kid! Schools Can't Do It Alone,” Craig Jolla says parents play an important educational role on Juneteenth. Craig Jolla joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss the history of Juneteenth and a new initiative that aims to end generational cycles of poverty. As co-founder of the Louisiana based HYPE Academy Private School & Academic Resource Center and a longtime teacher, she says students lack basic financial knowledge. "It is a cycle of poverty that will not be undone just in a classroom, but there has to be a tool that we bring online, a learning solution for those kids to undo some of the generational issues that we're seeing," she says.Through an interactive app called Cash Academy, Craig Jolla says students will be able to learn how to "earn, invest, save, spend, and give.""Just as we are fighting for education freedom in black and brown schools that serve black and brown kids, just as we, Hype Academy, is now moving into our project Cash Academy, and we're fighting for financial freedom for those same kids, it is important for them to know that historically that their ancestors ... fought for those fundamental freedoms to be able to go to school and to get the kind of assistance that many of our young people are the beneficiaries of," she says.Enjoy the show!

Do you want to be more mindful of your decisions and actions? Are you looking for ways to ensure that your values are consistently reflected in your everyday life? On the latest episode of Journal with Jenny, Laura Crandall, the founder of Slate Communication, joins Jenny to discuss how journaling can be used as a purposeful tool to help you pause, reflect and grow. Laura shares her insights on why it is important to practice reflection when making decisions in order to make sure that they align with your character, values, and mission. She explains why it is so important to take time out of our lives to step back, think deeply about what's happening around us, and, if necessary, adjust our actions accordingly. Laura also offers practical advice on how journaling can help us know what we are thinking. This type of self-awareness is essential for personal growth as well as professional success. Laura also discusses her own experience using journaling as a leadership tool during her executive coaching training program. Listen now to gain insight into the power of journaling for reflection, growth, and self-awareness. If you're looking for ways to become more mindful in your life and ensure that your values are being consistently reflected in your decisions and actions, then this episode is definitely worth listening to! Laura Crandall founded her management consulting firm, Slate Communication, in 2009. She has over 30 years of experience working in and consulting with industries that include manufacturing, journalism, hospitality, and academia; fifteen of those years were spent managing teams. Laura's work is dedicated to helping people within organizations discover and develop foundational management and communication skills – the things we assume everyone has, but rarely discuss.

Working with Humans Tools you didn't know you needed for conversations you never expected to have. By Laura Crandall The question Laura's clients ask most frequently, in one form or another, is, “Why are people so annoying to work with?“ The answer centers on the fact that we don't know how to communicate with each other very well at work. Despite all our shared intelligence, aptitude, and skill, when we interact with others, we're mostly making up as we go along. In Working with Humans, Laura shares the essential tools she's honed over 30 years of management and consulting work – foundational tools we all need and don't know how to discuss. With clarity, practicality, and humor, this book helps you develop the skills needed to break the cycle of annoyance in the workplace. You'll build confidence in how you manage a team and manage yourself, and you'll learn how to communicate and lead with the quality that most workplaces lack: humanity. **I will post a link, so you can purchase Laura's book as soon as it's available.

Featuring faculty and staff who build awareness of best practices and advocate for students with disabilities, this episode focuses on accessibility and practices that meet the needs of all learners. While we learn that there are more students with learning disabilities or differences, or other forms of 'neurodivergence,' than many faculty assume, these ideas also provide ways to meet the new normal where we all need some flexibility!

In today's News: Concordia Wisconsin ranked among top tier of national universities U.S. News and World Report’s 2021 “America’s Best Colleges Guide” has ranked Concordia University Wisconsin (CUW), Mequon, Wis., among the top tier of national universities. CUW rose 23 places this year, even after moving into the more competitive “national universities” category due to a growing portfolio of doctoral programs. The ranking considers a total of 17 indicators, including test scores, retention rates, mission allegiance and alumni engagement. Concordia Ann Arbor has a new program In a related story, the Academic Resource Center of Concordia University, Ann Arbor (CUAA), Mich., has launched Destination Cardinal, a summer “bridge” program geared primarily toward first-generation or low-income students. Students will begin the program the summer before they officially start at CUAA in order to ease the transition from high school to college. The program is also open to students who are already enrolled at CUAA and has proven useful for many this year as they navigate academics during COVID-19. LGBT advocacy group lobbying against Christian schools The nation's largest LGBT advocacy group is urging the future Biden administration to help pull the accreditation of Christian colleges and schools if they don't have a policy prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. The Human Rights Campaign posted its goals for the Biden administration in a Nov. 11 document, “Blueprint for Positive Change.” The 22-page brief includes dozens of objectives for the Biden White House, but its targeting of Christian institutions would have a major impact on religious schools. Under a current law known as the Higher Education Opportunity Act, accrediting agencies are told to ensure their standards "respect the stated mission of the institution of higher education," including a school's "religious" mission. Forcing abortion coverage again goes to court Attorneys from the Alliance Defending Freedom go to court today in San Francisco representing three California churches seeking exemption from a Golden State rule mandating they pay for abortions. The case originated in a suit filed by the Foothill Church in Glendora, Calvary Chapel Chino Hills in Chino and Shepherd of The Hills Church In Porter Ranch. The three congregations are challenging the department’s mandate on appeal in Foothill Church v. Rouillard. Pro-life activists are arrested Pro-life activists were arrested Tuesday outside of Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital, where first and second-trimester abortions are committed, and the bodies of aborted children are used for research at the University of California San Francisco. Terrisa Bukovinac, executive director of Pro-Life San Francisco, Lauren Handy of Red Rose Rescue, and other pro-lifers including Cheryl Conrad of Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust, were protesting outside of the hospital when they were arrested. The activists were charged with trespassing, but claim they were on public property. Pro-Life San Francisco announced it will be pursuing legal action regarding the arrest and are confident it will win in court.

Eric Heilman - Worship Leadership & Playing with Charlie PeacockHear more shows like this at https://entertalkradio.com/intersectEric Heilman - "I grew up playing jazz and pop in Sacramento, playing with a variety of musicians in there and in San Francisco, working mostly as a bass player on fretted, fretless, and acoustic bass. I played briefly with Charlie Peacock and recorded several songs on Charlie's early albums. Eventually moving to San Francisco, I began playing piano more often and led a jazz and R&B band in small clubs there and in the East Bay. I met my wife Pam while teaching in an elementary school in San Francisco, made a decision for Christ shortly after the birth of my son Max in 1995, and moved to Long Beach to start a family.I dropped out of music for a couple of years after that, eventually finding my way back after being recruited to sing in a church choir, and then developing skills as a worship leader in contemporary settings. I've been serving as worship leader in some capacity in several churches since then, and currently serve as Worship Coordinator at my home church, Bridges Church, in Long Beach, were I'm frequently joined in the worship team by my son Max, who is a fine drummer, and my daughter Abigail (19), who is a gifted singer, pianist, dancer and actress. My youngest, Grace (14), is also a piano player and until recently also an active ballet dancer.Pam and are are amazed at the way the LORD has worked in our lives and our family - He led me to a career change in 2001, when I began teaching math to middle schoolers at Calvary Christian School in Pacific Palisades. Pam now serves as director of the Academic Resource Center there, and we together suffer a daily commute on the 405, but also share the joy of pointing children to God's goodness. "
