Incorporating the classroom agenda system into this practice ensures that notes go home and tasks like attendance and lunch count happen. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b38501faf95e3664e09c29/ee95a75e-31b0-4724-8480-b42dc51ee363/Screenshot+2024-04-22+at+3.59.02%E2%80%AFPM.png April 2024 - Substitute Teaching: Evidence-Based Practices for Inclusive Classrooms - Pictured: Timer Use the visual timer you provide for students to monitor your time between classes.

There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do. Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does. https://helenjournal.org/august-2024 daily 0.75 2024-09-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b38501faf95e3664e09c29/75a151a7-e154-4cbf-a89e-8676d18b5492/Blog+backgroung+2+8_24+v3.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b38501faf95e3664e09c29/388566fa-50b5-489a-b060-ff04740d9410/Cover+8_24.jpg https://helenjournal.org/august-2024/helen-journal-is-paohs-official-journal monthly 0.5 2025-12-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b38501faf95e3664e09c29/1721780115316-J54L24PUIVIQCW4B73I3/mother-with-disabled-child-with-cerebral-palsy-on-2023-11-27-05-35-57-utc.jpg August 2024 - HELEN Journal is PAOH's Official Journal - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://helenjournal.org/august-2024/three-was-just-a-start monthly 0.5 2025-12-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b38501faf95e3664e09c29/649c3699-ab6a-4779-b3d9-4b0a1f6676a0/Rejected.jpg August 2024 - Three Was Just A Start - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://helenjournal.org/august-2024/understanding-the-effects-of-bullying-on-people-with-id monthly 0.5 2025-12-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b38501faf95e3664e09c29/705973ac-1859-4861-b2a5-ae9a9b0551cd/thoughtful-down-syndrome-woman-sitting-next-to-win-2024-02-01-12-15-04-utc.jpg August 2024 - Understanding the Effects of Bullying on People with ID - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b38501faf95e3664e09c29/cff09a96-c066-417e-8011-8d1d94bdc7d8/Melissa+Kaplowitch_IMG_8516.jpg August 2024 - Understanding the Effects of Bullying on People with ID - Dr. Melissa Kaplowitch is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology and the Program Coordinator of the M.S. in Counseling Program at Salem State University where she has trained students to become licensed mental health counselors for the past 22 years.

The MAUQ evaluates user experience across dimensions such as ease of use, learning, navigation, and overall satisfaction, using a 7-point Likert scale. The Physician Satisfaction Survey captures feedback on implementation, clinical efficiency, and alignment with diagnostic processes, using a 5-point scale. These tools provide a comprehensive understanding of both end-user and clinician perspectives. Participants rated the app’s ease of use highly, with a mean MAUQ score of 6.8/7. Key features such as reminders and data visualization received significant praise, while navigation consistency was rated 6.7/7. Feedback adequacy and interpretability scored slightly lower, with averages of 6.5 and 5.8 respectively, highlighting areas for potential improvement, especially for users with cognitive challenges. Comparatively, similar mHealth applications for chronic disease management, such as diabetes tracking apps, report MAUQ ease-of-use scores ranging from 6.0 to 6.4, suggesting excellent usability and indicating a user-friendly experience. Moreover, alignment with clinical diagnoses and feedback adequacy reflects parity with established apps, emphasizing the system’s competitive performance in the healthcare technology space. Physicians reported an 85% satisfaction rate with system implementation, and 70% noted significant improvements in clinical efficiency.

It was inspired by then nine-year old Rosa Marcellino, a young girl with Down syndrome who didn’t like being called “retarded.”) Right now, the NCBDDD is fighting for its continued funding and support. If Congress doesn’t act to continue supporting this jewel the single worst term it will have to contend with is the one that is spelled C-L-O-S-E-D.

But behind every great movement, invention, or act of courage, there are those who remain unseen, unspoken, and unsung. Their words, though unheard by millions, carry the weight of experience, resilience, and a quiet wisdom that shapes the world. The disability community has been blessed with no shortage of “unsung heroes;” those champions who have left their mark without fanfare, parades, and monuments. HELEN wants you to know about them, to understand them, and in your own way, to thank them. https://helenjournal.org/january-2026/core-concepts-mitochondria monthly 0.5 2026-01-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b38501faf95e3664e09c29/12112481-6108-4471-be0e-6e7bda96bc6a/NIH+Image.jpg January 2026 - Core Concepts: Mitochondria - Image: wavebreakmedia / Shutterstock https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b38501faf95e3664e09c29/2445ef90-f3a4-4409-9539-ba4e41387795/Heart+Mitochondria.png January 2026 - Core Concepts: Mitochondria - Image: National Center for Microscopy and Imaging Research Mitochondria (brown) from the heart muscle cell of a rat.

More than half of all designations have occurred in just the past five years, underscoring the program’s growing impact and bringing real hope to the more than 15 million children living with a rare pediatric disease, 30% of whom will not live to see their fifth birthday. Urgency to Reauthorize With the FDA's authority to grant rare pediatric designations expiring in 2024, and its authority to grant priority review vouchers expiring on Sept. 30, 2026, the delay in reauthorization fuels uncertainty in the marketplace for investors and pediatric drug developers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b38501faf95e3664e09c29/9880fdf7-a050-4c2d-828c-78ac33ab1aff/Champion+for+Change.png January 2026 - From Our Friends - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://helenjournal.org/february-2026 daily 0.75 2026-03-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b38501faf95e3664e09c29/70496d36-3228-49cb-9f43-4bef07e25994/Cover-mockup-Mar+2026.png https://helenjournal.org/february-2026/what-is-therapeutic-recreation-and-how-does-it-work monthly 0.5 2026-02-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b38501faf95e3664e09c29/cfd19d79-cad6-4a19-957c-d78f16a1a661/adaptive-strength-training-in-gym-2025-03-08-14-26-13-utc.jpg February 2026 - What Is Therapeutic Recreation - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://helenjournal.org/february-2026/presidents-message monthly 0.5 2026-02-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b38501faf95e3664e09c29/696f9081-c9cc-4ba8-8863-b931700f49d1/Steve+Perlman+small.png February 2026 - President’s Message - Steve Perlman, DDS, MScD, DHL (hon) President, People Advocating for Optimal Health (PAOH) Special Projects Sr., Editor Helen: The Journal of Human Exceptionality https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b38501faf95e3664e09c29/e112a764-ce4d-4127-8b42-48d29ce6ab11/Special+Olympics.jpg February 2026 - President’s Message - Make it stand out Athletes receive oral health education and screenings at a Special Olympics Healthy Athletes event. https://helenjournal.org/february-2026/editors-note-throwing-darts-at-the-bricklayers monthly 0.5 2026-02-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b38501faf95e3664e09c29/3dd540e0-96d2-4ed5-939f-d65a748df34e/Rick+Rader+small.png February 2026 - Throwing Darts at The Bricklayers - Rick Rader, MD, FAAIDD, FAADM, Editor-in-Chief, Helen Journal “There is nothing which has yet been contrived by man, by which so much happiness is produced as by a good tavern.” -Samuel Johnson https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b38501faf95e3664e09c29/9257b85c-00a9-4943-a9a1-9ff243ac397c/bricklayer_building.jpg February 2026 - Throwing Darts at The Bricklayers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b38501faf95e3664e09c29/6f5f4130-0b89-4fc1-a0f5-ddddc6d6c72a/blind_dart_players.jpg February 2026 - Throwing Darts at The Bricklayers - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://helenjournal.org/february-2026/when-prevention-no-longer-counts-a-federal-court-ruling-with-serious-implications-for-hcbs monthly 0.5 2026-02-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b38501faf95e3664e09c29/4ac851ce-2375-48b6-aae6-63eb66eb89ff/man-feeding-a-colleague-with-disability-in-a-cowor-2026-01-06-10-17-18-utc.jpg February 2026 - When Prevention No Longer Counts: - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b38501faf95e3664e09c29/a6c5c61b-19c4-48a4-b4ac-acf81ad2b1ff/Vanessa+Rastovic%CC%81.png February 2026 - When Prevention No Longer Counts: - Vanessa Rastović, JD, is a disability and healthcare compliance professional whose work sits at the intersection of civil rights, health systems, and lived experience.

This resulted from a stroke she experienced in utero due to a lack of oxygen to her brain before birth. Because the left side of the brain controls movement and sensation on the right side of the body, Hannah has always had reduced strength, sensation, and dexterity in her right arm, hand, and leg. The muscles and bones on that side developed differently, limiting her range of motion. She naturally holds her right arm close to her body in a way she describes as “looking different” from how other people hold their arms. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b38501faf95e3664e09c29/a9c4f0d7-0b67-409b-ab06-88576d33fe2e/Hannah+%26+Simonne+-+candid+photo.png February 2026 - Sharing Their Stories: - Hannah shared that when Simonne first asked to conduct the interview, she felt comfortable and open to the conversation. Being asked thoughtful, nonjudgmental questions allowed her to reflect on experiences she does not often articulate, even with people she knows well. Although she has faced challenges related to her disability since early childhood and continues to encounter them as an adult, she does not see cerebral palsy as defining who she is. Today, Hannah works as a kindergarten teacher and advocates for students both with and without disabilities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b38501faf95e3664e09c29/54d474af-b036-4255-84b8-ddddc8be954f/Hannah+Bentz.jpg February 2026 - Sharing Their Stories: - Hannah Bentz is a fifth-year kindergarten teacher in Montgomery County Public Schools with a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education. Growing up with mild cerebral palsy has shaped her perspective as an educator and strengthened her commitment to helping all students feel capable and supported. She encourages her students to believe in themselves, persist through challenges, and work toward their goals. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b38501faf95e3664e09c29/b0a40b5e-f7e4-473a-a554-0aea3abba104/Simonne+McCants.jpg February 2026 - Sharing Their Stories: - Simonne McCants earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Maryland School of Nursing and works in neonatal intensive care.

It sparked mixed reactions, with praise for being inclusive and criticism for the physical aspects of the doll. Working with the National Down Syndrome Society (NDSS) and the American Academy of Developmental Medicine and Dentistry (AADMD) the doll had a shorter frame, and a longer torso than the other Barbies. Her face was rounder, with almond shaped eyes, smaller ears, and a flat nasal bridge. Her palms even include a single line called a single transverse palmar crease which occurs in 40-60% of individuals with Down syndrome (Ds). She is dressed in a puff-sleeved frock adorned with butterflies and flowers in yellow and blue, colors associated with Ds https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b38501faf95e3664e09c29/45cd94ae-9fb0-4c44-ad40-b05214db9691/A+Doll+Like+Me+Montage.png March 2026 - President’s Message - Make it stand out Three happy customers of “A Doll Like Me” and their custom-made dolls that match their disabilities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b38501faf95e3664e09c29/696f9081-c9cc-4ba8-8863-b931700f49d1/Steve+Perlman+small.png March 2026 - President’s Message - Steve Perlman, DDS, MScD, DHL (hon) President, People Advocating for Optimal Health (PAOH) Special Projects Sr., Editor Helen: The Journal of Human Exceptionality https://helenjournal.org/march-2026/22q-the-missing-piece monthly 0.5 2026-03-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b38501faf95e3664e09c29/d2c3d33e-537d-4a5c-b2a1-52cfe79baf6f/Figure+1+%28Louis+in+infancy%29+2.jpg March 2026 - 22q: The Missing Piece - Make it stand out Figure 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b38501faf95e3664e09c29/98ef1f15-57ef-42c7-95e1-71ecd6aa092e/Figure+2+%28Louis+Carol+and+Family+Figure%29.jpg March 2026 - 22q: The Missing Piece - Make it stand out Louis (center) with his parents, sisters, and brothers-in-law.

He's gone to national and international competitions, and his family has always been there to rally behind him. Louis also enjoys weekly art classes where he shines, and like his mother he has begun giving back by creating greeting cards for the Foundation (right). Louis has the second most common chromosomal abnormality after Down syndrome, which is also the most common cause of syndromic palatal anomalies and schizophrenia, and the second most common cause of congenital heart disease and developmental delay after Down syndrome. But despite a prevalence of 1 in 2148 livebirths, which is one of the more common rare conditions, 22q is likely the most frequent condition you’ve never heard of. So, what exactly is the 22q11.2 deletion? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b38501faf95e3664e09c29/18280940-04fc-4ce0-9648-eb7cbbf1051e/Figure+5+%28Leaf+Showing+Cells%29.jpg March 2026 - 22q: The Missing Piece - Well, before discussing chromosomes and genes, we need to back up and think about cells. All living things are made up of cells including a leaf, where the cells are visible as boxes (Figure 5, left). Our bodies are made of different types of cells. We all have blood, brain and heart cells, as well as many other types of cells. In each cell, genetic information is stored in a chemical called DNA, which is packaged neatly into chromosomes. Chromosomes are located within the cell and are visible under the microscope where we expect to find 46, including 22 pairs numbered from the largest (number 1) to the smallest (number 22) plus the sex chromosomes (X and Y). When conceived, we receive one of each chromosome from our parents. Chromosomes have a top and a bottom half where the top half is always smaller. As chromosomes were first described by the French, the top half is referred to as the “petite arm” or p arm for short https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b38501faf95e3664e09c29/3c78f0ca-7471-4823-941a-0b2d90178eb4/Figure+6+%28Chromosome+22q11.2+deletion%29.jpg March 2026 - 22q: The Missing Piece - and the bottom half is the q arm, as q follows p in the alphabet. Chromosomes are further defined by a numbering system that names the stripes (or bands) on the chromosome when they are stretched out like an accordion. Those numbers create a universal language, so everyone knows exactly which area of a chromosome is involved. Chromosomes bands are like the box cars on a train - if a boxcar is missing or extra, we see it with our eyes and if a band is missing or extra, we generally see it under the microscope. The genes are the packages inside and they set up a blueprint for how the body is formed - our hair color and eye color, how tall we are, etc. The chromosome 22q11.2 deletion involves missing genes. Nothing the parents did or did not do caused https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b38501faf95e3664e09c29/a6c96450-5845-40cd-8cb9-7351af900f70/Figure+7+%28Genes+in+22q11.2+region%29.jpg March 2026 - 22q: The Missing Piece - Make it stand out Figure 7 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b38501faf95e3664e09c29/f240fdb6-0fce-4a8a-bf79-3306f3cc41e4/Figure+8+%28Body+Systems+in+22q%29.jpg March 2026 - 22q: The Missing Piece - Now despite this very long list of findings, only 4% of our pediatric patients have succumbed to associated problems, most often related to severe congenital heart disease, with a median age at death of 5 months. So, in general, people with 22q grow into adulthood. Moreover, 22q is variable and some individuals have very few of these problems. In fact, although 22q is not usually running in the family (but once present there is a 50% chance of passing it on to a child), many adults have come to attention only following the diagnosis in their child born with congenital heart disease. This variability explains why many families suffer, like so many with a rare disease, from a protracted diagnostic odyssey. For example, a five-year-old was evaluated by a whooping 27 subspecialists, including three geneticists, without a unifying diagnosis, but his parents were relentless in their search for a unifying diagnosis to explain his failure to thrive, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b38501faf95e3664e09c29/107f5d86-70c7-4107-b01e-96d6cae4801e/Donna+M.+McDonald-McGinn.png March 2026 - 22q: The Missing Piece - Donna McDonald-McGinn, MS, LCGC, is the Chief of the Section of Genetic Counseling, Director of the 22q and You Center and Senior Principal Scientist at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.

I spent a great deal of time engaging with parents—listening to their stories, trying to understand their challenges, and learning how they were coping. This was long before I had my son, Thapelo, and I did not realise at the time that these interactions were quietly preparing me for a personal journey ahead. Advocating for patients with SHCN came naturally to me. I fought for them to receive the best possible care, to be prioritised appropriately, and to have a voice in a healthcare system where they were often overlooked. This advocacy was not always welcomed by colleagues, particularly given the long theatre waiting lists for paediatric cases, but I persisted because I understood the urgency and the need. Thapelo was born on 11 December 2009, and I discovered his condition at birth. Initially, I felt uncertain and overwhelmed. However, after returning from maternity leave, my commitment to treating patients with SHCN intensified—now strengthened by my personal experience and profound empathy. My lived experience as a mother became a lifelong source of insight. I transformed my pain into power and purpose. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b38501faf95e3664e09c29/dedb6bab-35ed-4eb1-8732-bd653389a440/In+theatre.png March 2026 - Special Care Dentistry in Africa - Make it stand out Dr. Makobe-Chiloane in theatre. https://helenjournal.org/march-2026/when-research-includes-everyone monthly 0.5 2026-03-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b38501faf95e3664e09c29/83f13787-41d8-4602-850a-7377a3aab5db/Article+Photo+%236+Cropped.jpg March 2026 - When Research Includes Everyone - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b38501faf95e3664e09c29/4629d6e2-33f2-42cf-b5b9-c033b21ba748/Article+Photo+%231+cropped.jpg March 2026 - When Research Includes Everyone - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b38501faf95e3664e09c29/6fe008a3-bd5a-4f5a-af1f-09b0e32a2da4/Article+Photo+%232.jpg March 2026 - When Research Includes Everyone - Make it stand out Asking members of the BUMC community what inclusion means to them . https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b38501faf95e3664e09c29/323e145c-8df1-4709-8720-4e9585b6feb4/Article+Photo+%233.jpg March 2026 - When Research Includes Everyone - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b38501faf95e3664e09c29/02972b38-becb-4c17-ad4f-8e0acfe772be/Article+Photo+%234.jpg March 2026 - When Research Includes Everyone - Make it stand out Coding focus group quotes and finding the big ideas and themes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b38501faf95e3664e09c29/47732f59-12b7-417f-8641-049b7c9e866c/Jennifer+Guan.png March 2026 - When Research Includes Everyone - Jennifer Guan lives in Brookline, Massachusetts and has worked at Boston Children’s Hospital since 2018.

Dr. Marthe Gautier, a physician and researcher who had a major role in identifying the cause of Down syndrome, but whose achievement was undermined when a male colleague took credit for her work, died on April 30, 2022. She was 96. Her death, in a retirement home in Meaux, France, though not widely reported at the time, was confirmed by her great-niece Tatiana Giraud. The New York Times, which had prepared an obituary about Dr. Gautier in advance, in 2018, learned of her death only recently. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b38501faf95e3664e09c29/a5af70fa-446f-4422-9cf3-c96e8bb9ca16/dr_turpin.webp March 2026 - Unsung Hero - Dr. Raymond Turpin, [pictured left] a pediatrician, and geneticist who was Dr. Gautier’s supervisor at the Armand-Trousseau Hospital in Paris. It was his theory about the cause of Down syndrome that Dr. Gautier tested and confirmed. Dr. Turpin had long suspected that Down syndrome might be caused by a chromosome abnormality but lamented that no one in Paris knew how to grow the cell cultures needed to test his theory. Dr. Gautier told an interviewer in 2013, “It struck me in a rather negative way, that here was a man who had proposed a genetic hypothesis for Down https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b38501faf95e3664e09c29/0c567801-52ca-45b0-86d9-4dadcf6db6ec/dr_ldjeune.webp March 2026 - Unsung Hero - Dr. Lejeune listed himself as the first author — a prestigious spot customarily reserved for whoever had done the most important part of the work. He listed Dr. Gautier second, misspelling both her first and last names “by a slip of the pen that I dare not interpret,” she wrote. Dr. Turpin’s name came last, the position usually given to the senior person who directs or oversees the research. “I was hurt and suspected a degree of manipulation, having a feeling of being the ‘forgotten discoverer,’” Dr. Gautier wrote. She, not Dr. Lejeune, she said, had cultured the cells, prepared the slides, looked at them through the microscope, and counted the chromosomes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b38501faf95e3664e09c29/13265db1-05ec-4509-8dea-7c0b08acf994/gautier_french_award.webp March 2026 - Unsung Hero - Make it stand out Dr. Gautier with an unidentified man after receiving an award....

Braddy’s memoir, From Shack to White House, is a deeply personal story that delves into his life journey and his remarkable abilities of leadership, patience, and perseverance. The book is structured into parts, capturing the defining chapters of Braddy’s life. It all starts with his telling of growing up in poverty and how his early life shaped his resilience and faith. Then it talks about the pivotal personal tragedy that, eventually, pushes him into becoming an advocate and leader in disability rights. His story culminates with work in Washington D.C., including engagement with the White House. Braddy’s narrative illustrates how someone from very modest roots can influence national policy and community change. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62b38501faf95e3664e09c29/7abce00f-bb1b-4854-877f-8cbb01fcfd02/Elena+Salgado.png March 2026 - A Book Review - Mayra Elena Salgado immigrated from Honduras to the United States at age nine.
