Guest guest Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 > > hmmmmmmmmmmmm....weak working memory....would that be why he can memorize spelling words for the test and 2 weeks later not know how to spell them????? Hi Jan. I don't know. My son has no problems with spelling, in fact is an excellent speller. But I don't think he spells by memorizing, so I don't know if that has anything at all to do with memory in my son's case. > But on the other hand he can remember things way way back...something we did or said from years ago? I wonder what that is all about? There are different types of memory, I know that. I don't understand all the memory stuff, but I know there is working memory, long-term memory, visual memory, auditory memory, etc. And processing problems and speed may play into it. My son has an accurate memory, but has retrieval problems. It takes him a longer than normal time to respond to questions and sometimes he just can't. You get " I don't know " to a seemingly simple question. But, if you do get an answer, you can trust it to be correct for the most part.

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Your school can't test for APD. Some audiologists don't believe it exists so you need to find one who does and who knows how to test for it.

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 that sounds very interesting...my son never tells me things right away...like last night he told me that his friend threw his xbox controller and now it doesn't work...I ask him why did you not tell me when it happened...his answer ...I don't know. And now it is 2 days later. Same thing with stuff that happens in school...2 days later he tells me his teacher got in his face and said "Your mind games may work on your mother, but they don't work on me"...OMG....I could not beleive he didn't tell me right away. Tell me again what CAPD is? I will have to look it up. I know he has a terrible time with the sounding out of words....which I assume might me why he can't spell. He can memorize the words for the test and gets 100 all the time but his spelling is horrible.

And now it is 2 days later. This is working memory and processing speed. I don't think it is CAPD. My son has excellent auditory processing, one of his greatest strengths, and he has these problems. In any case, teachers need to know that this is a disability and not something he is doing on purpose. And part of this is what they call " theory of mind " . Your son has a hard time telling " what people know " . If you question your son some more, you may well find out that he thinks you should have known the controller was broken. He won't be able to explain why he thinks that. From what I understand this is an executive dysfunction, a " sequencing " problem. Our kids get cause and effect messed up because they don't process things in the right order (or not at all). This is something a very good speech therapist would need to work on, at least I've never gotten anywhere with my son on this sort of stuff myself. Maybe other people have some ideas!

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Roxanna,Have you tried using materials that show what each number is? In Montessori schools, the first thing you do is to introduce counting. You do the first three numbers first. I would try getting some large beads and string them on either a piece of wire or a string. Have a string with only one bead; have a string with two beads, and have a string with three beads. If you don't think he's up to doing three, you can start with just two.Take the one bead and tell the child, "This is one," and count it.Take the two bead and tell the child, "This is two," and count it.Take the three bead and tell the child, "This is three," and count it.Then ask the child to point to the numbers:"Show me two.""Show me one." etc.. Have him count it each time.Once you think he's really got it, ask him what each one is. LizOn Aug 4, 2008, at 9:44 AM, Roxanna wrote:These are all good ideas.

I work with a little guy who has no math concept whatsoever so that even counting is something he does not understand. But I also have a friend with an 18 yo AS boy who is very much the same way - he has no math concept. He still cannot use money or understand change back - all the basic number issues that one needs to be independent. I wondered is anyone has dealt with that kind of math block and if there are any ideas for working with in that? For the little guy I work with, we just work hard at reinforcing simple number concepts and he's still young - I still do not know if he will click into gear at some point on this stuff. But for my friend, her ds is older and this is obviously going to be a major problem in life for him. They've done everything - games, tutoring, different curriculum, etc. It's not going to sink in.

This always ends up with the kid throwing a tantrum (except my son), and then she gets sarcastic and says that the child just wanted to get out of finishing their work, and then makes them sit and finish it.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 How about matching collections of things and the numbers they represent. Either actual objects or stickers or pictures on a card. ◠◠◠◠◠◠match with 6 Also play the Family Math "Number Guess" game. The basic idea is that one person thinks of a secret number and the other person has to guess it. When guesses are made, the person with the secret number has to give responses like "No, that number is too big. or No, that number is too small. You can increase the range of numbers after the child gets good at ) to 10. You put markers on the numbers guessed. Elaine 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 In a message dated 8/8/2008 3:25:00 P.M.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 I have been using items around his room for counting. We have counted markers, chalk, plastic animals, blocks, m & m's. For some reason, the idea just can't click in his head. I can ask him, "How many?" but he cannot answer past the number we are on. So if we are working on "One" he will answer "one" but if I switch to an item of two, he still says, "one." If I introduce "two" - same situation. If I show him "one", he answers "two" because we are on "two." It does not seem to sink in that the number means how many items. It's like a hopeless circle right now. ARGH!!! I do wonder if those touchpoints numbers might help him click it into gear? I should see about getting some and try it out. RoxannaYou're UniqueJust like everyone else...

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 Lay out a set of ONE m & m and a set of TWO m & m's. Tell him to point to the set has 2 m & m's. Do the pointing thing for a long time. Only when he's doing the pointing reliably do you ask him "how many." There is a real difference between pointing to the one that has two and answering "what one is that?" In the first instance, you're giving him a little cue. It might be worth a try.LizOn Aug 8, 2008, at 12:30 PM, Roxanna wrote:I have been using items around his room for counting. We have counted markers, chalk, plastic animals, blocks, m & m's. For some reason, the idea just can't click in his head. I can ask him, "How many?" but he cannot answer past the number we are on. So if we are working on "One" he will answer "one" but if I switch to an item of two, he still says, "one." If I introduce "two" - same situation. If I show him "one", he answers "two" because we are on "two." It does not seem to sink in that the number means how many items. It's like a hopeless circle right now. ARGH!!! I do wonder if those touchpoints numbers might help him click it into gear? I should see about getting some and try it out.RoxannaYou're UniqueJust like everyone else...

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 That's a great exercise. First, though, the child needs to know how to count the dots. He also needs to know his numbers.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Dear Crystal,   Humulin 50/50 Insulin is 50% HUMAN INSULIN ISOPHANE SUSPENSION and 50% HUMAN INSULIN INJECTION (rDNA ORIGIN) It is available as 100 Units per mL (U-100) and usually comes in a 10 ml clear glass container.  That being said, you are correct that the pt recieving 6 units per dose, two doses per day (q12H = every twelve hours) will have 12 units per day.  Since  100 units............12units ................... = .................. 1 ml......................X ml  1 x 12/100 = 0.12 ml (per day)  However the latter part of your math is incorrect:  12 units-----------70 units ------------=----------------- 1 day-------------X Days  1 x 70/12 = 5.83 days  This means that the patient will get 5 FULL days of dosages out of this bottle. We can not round up to 6 because the bottle is lacking 0.17 days worth of dosing.  To be most correct it would last 5 days plus one dose. But theinsurance uses full days supply, therefore only 5 days will be the days supply.  Please not where you multiplied you should have divided. I believe you did in your calculator, but not on 'paper' (text/post).  I hopet his helps you out. Please feel free to post again, especially if you still have questions about this particular math problem that I have not addressed or you still are concerned about.   Respectfully,  Jeanetta Mastron CPhT BS Pharm Tech Educator Founder/Owner PS please note I have had to use periods (.....) and hyphens (---------) as 'spacers' because other wise the ratio/proportion set up would look like this:  100 units            12units                      = 1 ml                       X ml  From: crystal zamudio <czamudio18@...> Subject: MATH jeanettasPTCBstudygroup Date: Friday, February 27, 2009, 8:20 PM I JUST WANNA KNOW IF IM RIGHT ON THIS MATH PROBLEM.....you if the day supply is right or not   the physician orders humulin 50/50 insulin 6 units .....  sig: 6U Q12H      #70ML  EVERY 12 HOURS IS TWO TIMES A DAY SO THE PATIENT IS TAKING 12 U A DAY.....SO THE QUANITY (70ML) X 12 U = 6 DAYS     SO ANYONE IS MY DAY SUPPLY RIGHT.....  CRYSTAL      Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 At Niagara College we had the problem that the math department was teaching the pharmacy math course and it was horrible. What we did was explain to them why it wasn't straight math and that their " examples " made no sense in the real world, which was detrimental to students being successful in the program. We changed the name of the course to specifically include the word PHARMACY and made it be a mandatory course to be taught by pharmacists so that the math department could not say they were qualified. I don't remember but I think that was the only math credit they needed to graduate. It was a battle we fought for about 2 years to get it out of the math department and taught by pharmacy. The math department was using a technician math book but would try to adapt questions like in the book Amoxicillin 250mg so they would make a test question with amoxicillin 335mg capsules (which don't exist) and wonder why the students were so confused...

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Yes this is why I like the math for each specific course to be focused andnot together. There ARE math books for 'allied health workers/students' to cover all health care math. That is so much baloney! And a math department can not teach physics math either! Same reason! You may understand finite math but if you can not apply the principles to the specific task at hand it is useless.

C1 x V1 = C2 x V2 D12.5W x 250ml = D70W x V2 12.5% x 250ml = 70% x V2 12.5% x 250ml = 70% x V2 70%-------------70% 12.5 x 250ml = x V2 70 44.64 ml = V2 Check: 12.5% x 250ml = 70% x V2 12.5% x 250ml = 70% x 44.64 ml 3125 = 3124.8 3125 ~ 3124.8 2)How much of a D20W 1000ml and D5W 1000ml is needed to make a D8.5W 400ml? For this I would use an alligation method I suggest tht you use my tutorial in the Files Section Folder # 5 for Tutorials and open to Math Only Tutorials then to the Alligation Tutorial This method uses a diagram that is best drawn on a word document. The HTML does not do well with this type of a set up. Let Me know how it works out for you.
