Children's brain activity looks different whether they are reading narrative or informational text--no surprise that classroom research suggests our instruction for these genres should be different too (e.g., purposes established for reading, text structures taught, ?s asked...)
The Ford Aurora I station wagon from 1969 has a unique design. From the outside, it appears to be a typical station wagon with wood paneling. However, upon closer inspection, you'll find that the interior boasts a wrap-around couch and a passenger seat that can rotate 180 degrees, allowing for face-to-face socializing with passengers in the rear. The rear of the car is also fully padded, providing additional seating.
The Ford Aurora II, although designed, never made it to the market, likely due to safety regulations. Notably, this car lacked seatbelts, reflecting the controversy surrounding seatbelt use in the 40s and 50s. Despite overwhelming evidence of their life-saving benefits, many people believed seatbelts were dangerous and even removed them from their cars.
Interestingly, there are still advocates against seatbelt use today. In the early 2000s, one such advocate argued, "Uncle Sam is not here to regulate every facet of life regardless of the consequences." Tragically, he later died in a car crash after being ejected from his vehicle because he wasn't wearing a seatbelt.
I think sometimes we forget (or never knew) the overlapping traits between Autism, ADHD, and Giftedness. Some of our students even have two of these exceptionalities and are referred to as Twice Exceptional (or 2E). Both of my sons are 2E. Please take a minute to read about it and study this Venn Diagram for a visual representation. They have more in common than you might think!
