Episode 76: Calloway County social security disability attorney Jeff Roberts reviews the various types of conditions you might have, which would qualify you for social security disability benefits.  These conditions are found in the Listing of Impairments for social security claims. Jeff has practiced law for 32 years.  He focuses in personal injury, workers' compensation and social security disability (both SSDI and SSI claims).  At times, an injured individual may need to file 2 or more of these types of claims, all related to a single incident.  The three types of cases overlap more than people might think.  It can make it easier and more cost-effective if your attorney can handle each of these claims for you. What Do Other Clients Think About Jeff? We always encourage listeners to read the Google Reviews Jeff Roberts has received from many of his clients.  A 5-Star rating and the comments are earned recognition and demonstrate Jeff's commitment to his clients.  As a solo attorney, he has more Google Reviews than some firms with multiple attorneys.  Jeff shares the credit with his staff at the Roberts Law Office.  Successfully representing a victim of an automobile accident is a team effort.  It's why Jeff likes to say his firm offers small town service with big city results.  Jeff Roberts Represents Injured Clients Throughout Kentucky With offices located in Calloway County and now Christian County, Jeff has a history of representing personal injury clients, workers' compensation clients and social security disability clients across the state.  He's represented clients from Paducah, Bowling Green, Louisville, Covington, Whitesville and many other Kentucky locations.  He's not just a Western Kentucky injury attorney.  We hope you found this episode insightful and helpful.  Thank you for listening!                                                                                                    Is It Time to Speak with an Attorney about Your Social Security Disability Claim?

Got ADHD? The title says deficit of attention. But it's actually an executive functioning impairment. Impairments are such things that need accommodation. When you think about executive functions, much of the challenge of ADHD comes down to thinking. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, ADHD and attention coach Jeff Copper (https://digcoaching.com) discusses ADHD as a thinking impairment. Sometimes we are victims to our language. All too often, we generalize. Jeff tries to break down different aspects of thinking so that we can begin to understand what thinking is, how ADHD is more of a thinking impairment, and the mindset necessary to move forward. Attention Talk Radio is the leading site for self-help Internet radio shows focusing on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and attention deficit disorder, including managing symptoms of ADHD in adults with ADD or adults who have children with ADHD. Attention Talk Radio, hosted by Jeff Copper, attention and ADHD coach, is designed to help adults (particularly those diagnosed with or impacted by attention deficit disorder or its symptoms) in life or business who are stuck, overwhelmed, or frustrated to help them get unstuck and moving forward by opening their minds to pay attention to what works.

The House of Delegates approved a measure Tuesday that mandates school divisions update emergency plans to include students with mobility impairments.  Del. Laura Jane Cohen, D-Fairfax, a former educator, introduced House Bill 501. She previously served on an advisory committee for students with disabilities as a school board member for Fairfax County Public Schools. Cohen filed the measure in response to a parent's testimony to the board that their first-grade child, who was in a wheelchair, would be left on the second floor with staff in the event of an emergency, or fire. Parents were “horrified” by that plan, she...Article LinkSupport the show

A new editorial paper was published in Aging (listed by MEDLINE/PubMed as "Aging (Albany NY)" and "Aging-US" by Web of Science) Volume 15, Issue 16, entitled, “Microvascular contributions to white matter injury in Alzheimer's disease.” In their new editorial, researchers Zsolt Bagi, Larry S. Sherman and Stephen A. Back from Augusta University discuss mechanisms of cognitive impairment and dementia. Impairments in cognitive and executive function of presumed cerebral microvascular origin are important and recently recognized neuropathological manifestations of vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID). It has been long known that hypertensive cerebrovascular disease also involves a spectrum of subcortical small vessel diseases, such as arteriolosclerosis and lipohyalinosis of small penetrating arterioles, which contribute to progressive injury of periventricular, frontal and parietal white matter (WM). “However, until recently, recognition of the role of WM injury during aging and the progression of Alzheimer disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD) was very limited.” Despite growing interest in VCID and AD/ADRD, there have been few studies of mechanistic links between subcortical small vessel disease, WM injury and cognitive decline. Even though WM constitutes >80% of the human cerebral hemispheres, a PubMed search of AD and WM injury yielded only 381 articles (including reviews) vs. 193,303 articles for AD alone. Notably, 50% of diagnosed AD patients have mixed vascular and AD pathology. Hence, there is a critical need to explore connections between AD, WM injury and cerebral small vessel disease to define mechanisms and diagnostic features of mixed vascular and AD neuropathological change (ADNC). “To provide rigorous access to human WM lesions, we recently developed a unique rapid autopsy brain procurement protocol using specimens donated by participants in the Adult Changes in Thought (ACT) study, a prospective, population-based study of aging and incident dementia among men and women in Seattle, Washington [5].” DOI - https://doi.org/10.18632/aging.204997 Corresponding author - Zsolt Bagi - zbagi@augusta.edu Sign up for free Altmetric alerts about this article - https://aging.altmetric.com/details/email_updates?id=10.18632%2Faging.204997 Subscribe for free publication alerts from Aging - https://www.aging-us.com/subscribe-to-toc-alerts Keywords - aging, cerebrovascular, neuropathology, vasodilation, parenchymal, arteriole About Aging-US Launched in 2009, Aging-US publishes papers of general interest and biological significance in all fields of aging research and age-related diseases, including cancer—and now, with a special focus on COVID-19 vulnerability as an age-dependent syndrome.

What is the Social Model Of Disability? I'll let its proponents describe it in their own words (emphases and line breaks mine) The Social Model Of Disability Explained (top Google result for the term): Individual limitations are not the cause of disability. Rather, it is society's failure to provide appropriate services and adequately ensure that the needs of disabled people are taken into account in societal organization. Disability rights group Scope: The model says that people are disabled by barriers in society, not by their impairment or difference. The American Psychological Association: It is [the] environment that creates the handicaps and barriers, not the disability. From this perspective, the way to address disability is to change the environment and society, rather than people with disabilities. Foundation For People With Learning Disabilities: The social model of disability proposes that what makes someone disabled is not their medical condition, but the attitudes and structures of society.  University of California, San Francisco: Disabilities are restrictions imposed by society. Impairments are the effects of any given condition. The solution, according to this model, lies not in fixing the person, but in changing our society. Medical care, for example, should not focus on cures or treatments in order to rid our bodies of functional impairments. Instead, this care should focus on enhancing our daily function in society. The Social Model's main competitor is the Interactionist Model Of Disability, which says that disability is caused by an interaction of disease and society, and that it can be addressed by either treating the underlying condition or by adding social accommodations. In contrast to the Interactionist Model, the Social Model insists that disability is only due to society and not disease, and that it may only be addressed through social changes and not medical treatments. . . . this isn't how the Social Model gets taught in real classrooms. Instead, it's contrasted with “the Medical Model”, a sort of Washington Generals of disability models which nobody will admit to believing. The Medical Model is “disability is only caused by disease , society never contributes in any way, and nobody should ever accommodate it at all . . . ” Then the people describing it add “. . . and also, it says disabled people should be stigmatized, and not treated as real humans, and denied basic rights”. Why does the first part imply the second? It doesn't matter, because “the Medical Model” was invented as a bogeyman to force people to run screaming into the outstretched arms of the Social Model. https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/contra-the-social-model-of-disability

Simon Shares Local CPI 7.1% for March up from 7.0% in February. Expected was 6.9%. Core inflation 5.2% vs expectations of 5.1%. Rates higher for longer. Reviewing Minister Pravin Gordhan's portfolio. Too many stocks, why not more ETFs? Platinum at all-time highs in rands. This as it trades at more than 50% off the all-time US$ highs from 2008. Still long all my index trades. Time to sell Capitec* (JSE code: CPI) as results show them as ex-growth? Return in Equity (RoE) 26% Cost-to-income (CTI) 39%. Impairments +80% and worrying the market But my worry is it is priced +2x valuations of the other four big banks and it is now largely a mature bank. Sure low cost base, but I do not think it deserves that high valuation so am likely exiting after holding since 2009. * I hold ungeared positions.

Continuing our series on disability and theology, we conclude our look at textual matters within this series by looking at protagonists and their impairments in early Christian literature with Dr. Kylie Crabbe, who is Senior Research Fellow in Biblical and Early Christian Studies, and Director of Graduate Research Programs for the Institute for Religion and Critical Inquiry, which is part of Australian Catholic University. She holds a current Discovery Early Career Researcher Award (DECRA) from the Australian Research Council (2022-2024) for her project ‘Inside Others: Early Christian Protagonists and Their Impairments'. Over the course of our conversation, we discuss the function of the impairments of protagonists within early Christian texts. In particular, we look at the infertility of Elizabeth in the Gospel of Luke, the representation of John in the apocryphal Acts of John, and the representation of Peter's daughter in the apocryphal Acts of Peter. As we do so we juxtapose this discussion with the representation of Paul within the canonical book of Acts relative to his description of himself in his letters. Dr. Crabbe is keen to point out the differences at work when a character with an impairment is the main character in their own story rather than a peripheral character whose purpose is to show us something about the unimpaired protagonist. Team members on the episode from The Two Cities include: Dr. John Anthony Dunne, Stephanie Kate Judd, and Rev. Dr. Chris Porter.
