As you're likely more than aware, it is summer in the Gulf South. And with it comes the risk of extreme heat. But heat doesn't just affect how your body feels — it can also affect your mental health.As the Gulf States Newsroom's Drew Hawkins reports, new research shows that as the temperature goes up, so does the number of calls to Louisiana's suicide crisis hotline.For more than 40 years, MedCamps of Louisiana has offered multiple summer camps for people with disabilities or going through various challenges. Located in Choudrant, Louisiana, in Lincoln Parish, there are camps for cancer survivors, kids with Down syndrome, and even adults living with chronic illnesses. Executive director of Med Camps of Louisiana, Caleb Seney, joins us for more.As summer temperatures reach well into the 90s and heat index values top 100, we're feeling the heat, and so are our pets. Just like humans, pets can overheat and suffer from heat exhaustion, heat stroke or even die.Ginger Guttner, assistant director of communications with the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine, tells us how to keep our pets safe in the summer months.—Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Karen Henderson.

The man charged in the death of three men with disabilities in February is in court this morning, as lawyers work to convince a judge to send the case to trial. Prosecutors say that Isaiah Vaughn Pulu left three of his "Safe and Sound Services" clients in a running car for at least 3.5 hours. The three men died due to carbon monoxide poisoning. KSL Legal Analyst Greg Skordas explains why this wouldn't be a death penalty case.

We just finished celebrating one of America's most patriotic holidays a couple of weeks ago. Even though the holiday is more closely associated with the original 13 colonies, a significant chapter of the Revolutionary War took place in the Louisiana Territories. The 1779 Battle of Baton Rouge was an important turning point of the war, signifying the strength of the rebels and their alliance with Spain.To learn more about the battle and the capture of Fort Bute, we're joined by Sam Hyde, professor and director of the Center for Southeast Louisiana Studies at Southeastern Louisiana University. It's summertime in Louisiana, and for many, that means it's time for water sports. But for people with disabilities, access to these sports is often limited.Unless, of course, you join the Ski Dawgs, an organization that helps people living with disabilities get the chance to water ski. With adaptive equipment and a team of volunteers, members get the chance to ride the waves in St. Tammany Parish.Last year, we spoke with David Thomas, founder of the Ski Dawgs, and Jamie Galloway, the organization's co-director. Today, we revisit the conversation and highlight upcoming events. —Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Adam Vos. Our managing producer is Alana Schreiber.

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. As a child, I was so fond of reading what I saw as beautiful. Even when above [lacking] the understanding. The perception of beauty came mainly from the cover and the fonts used ( same today ) or from the place the book occupied on my father's shelf. One of them was Tuareg. More than once I took this classic from the home library, only to glance at the first page with no interest. It was only decades later — some years ago — that I saw the title again, and read with pleasure and no difficulties. It's not a hard read, even to a 12 year-old, probably only the argument, the plot, didn't catch me by then. Anyway, I was attracted to the book, as if simply wanting to read it made me part of the classic, the intellectual. I have less of this today. [I mean,] Not the inability to read a lot of books, but the urge to be a consumer of certain cultural product. Maybe due to not greeding to build a personal image, content without exposition. Still, sometimes, wanting to consume a piece of media and being unable to.. I wanted a story of robots, the book I though was not available [(All Systems Red)], so I bought one of scientific fiction. Somehow it attracted me when I flipped the few pages of Planet of Exile at the bookstore, an item that could lead me to a travel outside of this place, an escape. At home, I immediately saw I couldn't grasp it. There were too many characters (too many = more than two in the first page, specially when another atmosphere is the location, a new physics to grasp). Too much information, can't retain the minimum necessary in the way to the second, third… fifth page, by when more is being presented. This was always a disability of mine, focused on a little tiny thing, intensely, for some time, all lost in some weeks or months. I know it happens to me , because people are able to remember the names of the cars of the movie Cars. Not an incredible feat for them (maybe they haven't paid attention, nor actively tried to remember, only did), and something strange to me. It was decided to register this because when I saw myself unable to read the [Ursula] Le Guin's book, I got nervous. I've already been forgetting more ultimately, take confused steps, and now I can't center on a book?! What's happening? But then I took a breath: much can be going way too wrong from current circumstances outside and inside, but your limited comprehension of the world (and its art) is very part of you. This trace, or frailty, of your character, is not your brain rotting, it's part of what you have been since always. Thank you. Provide feedback on this episode.

On June 18, Trump's Justice Department issued a memo claiming that federal disability laws don't require state level integration, guidance in direct conflict with the 1999 Supreme Court Olmstead decision. This memo must not stand. Time for Congress to codify into law the Olmstead decision. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

More than 100 children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities are taking part in an adventure-filled club this summer.

OA1276 - Who could have predicted this? Us! The Trump administration has made their complete disdain for people with disabilities clear since day one. We've called it out before, and the natural progression of those efforts came to a head mid-June when they announced their intention to turn over governance of special education to RFK Jr in HHS (least trusted man in America when it comes to the needs of your child with a disability), continue dismantling the Department of Education overall, further reduce their investigations of educational discrimination, and, just two days later, their commitment to overturning major protections against forced institutionalization.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century philosopher, mathematician, and computer scientist, Alan Turing's article "Computing Machinery And Intelligence", published in 1950 in the journal Mind. This is an important early work on artificial intelligence, which proposes what later has come to be called the "Turing Test". Specifically it examines what he calls "arguments from various disabilities, which he describes as follows: "These arguments take the form, "I grant you that you can make machines do all the things you have mentioned but you will never be able to make one to do X." Numerous features X are suggested in this connexion I offer a selection: Be kind, resourceful, beautiful, friendly, have initiative, have a sense of humour, tell right from wrong, make mistakes, fall in love, enjoy strawberries and cream, make some one fall in love with it, learn from experience, use words properly, be the subject of its own thought, have as much diversity of behaviour as a man, do something really new.

Married to Joni Eareckson Tada for more than 37 years, Ken Tada shares that disability does not have to be the defining word in your marriage. Instead disability is an invitation for you and your spouse to depend on Jesus in your weakness and grow closer to each other than you ever thought possible.
