The reading let me wondering why the author was so opposed to the idea of care being viewed as work; he seemed dismissive of the value of care if labeled as work.

In this reading, Fine examines how coordination efforts have impacted the provision of health and social welfare services in Australia. He specifically addresses two different, but related issues: community-based care services for elderly individuals and people with disabilities, and increased coordination between different service providers such as community-based care organizations, residential care services, hospitals, and other healthcare providers. What he attempts to show is how increased coordination has led to clients receiving higher quality services at different levels of care, and should, ideally, result in clients being placed in the appropriate care environments. He also looks at governmental policies and how those policies impact coordination between care-providers, suggesting that when government policies do not support coordination, the natural result is fragmentation. I agree with what Fine has to say about coordination. I believe that much of Australia's caregiving approach remains very fragmented, so that the lack of coordination has a negative impact on the level of care that clients can receive. In fact, I believe that this lack of coordination results in some clients having inappropriate placements. Furthermore, I agree with Fine's seeming endorsement of Austin's opinion about care management, suggesting that care management is only necessary because of societies that emphasize outcomes and financial costs rather than focusing on health and the provision of healthcare. I am left wondering if there have been any real, significant changes in care management in Australia since Fine wrote his article, or if the capitalist influence on care provision makes real change impossible without restructuring the entire system.

Reading Education Special needs and special education students have traditionally had more immediate needs in cooperative learning settings when compared to typical students. To be an effective teacher is not always as easy as telling the students to just sit-down and read. Teachers have to understand that there can be less obvious problems at hand like dyslexia, AD/HD, or English as a second language to name a few. When there are
Issues like self-esteem can impact prognosis. Students who are highly motivated, highly intelligent, and highly confident are the most likely to succeed and excel in spite of their reading disorder or in some cases, because of it. Learning how to maximize strengths in other academic areas can help students with reading disorders build self-esteem. Similarly, students who are able to ask for and receive assistance in subject areas rich
This needs to be role modeled by the peers and adults with whom the young child comes in contact. When children observe this strong positive interest in learning, be it through reading books, playing word games, telling stories or many other activities, they will surely follow suit. First, they have an innate desire to learn. Second, they want their actions to receive a positive reaction. Third, more than anything,
