Theories of human behavior will be discussed in relation to disabilities. An overview of the structure of human services in the United States will be presented along with a focus on critical rehabilitation concepts and issues.

ACCOMMODATIONS: The Department of Rehabilitation, Social Work, and Addictions is committed to full academic access for all qualified students, including those with disabilities. In keeping with this commitment and in order to facilitate equality of educational access, faculty members in the department will make reasonable accommodations for qualified students with a disability, such as appropriate adjustments to the classroom environment and the teaching, testing, or learning methodologies when doing so does not fundamentally alter the course. If you have a disability, it is your responsibility to obtain verifying information from the Office of Disability Accommodation (ODA) and to inform me of your need for an accommodation. Requests for accommodation must be given to me no later than the first week of classes for students registered with the ODA as of the beginning of the current semester. If you register with the ODA after the first week of classes, your accommodation requests will be considered after this deadline. Grades assigned before an accommodation is provided will not be changed. Information about how to obtain academic accommodations can be found in UNT Policy 18.1.14, at  HYPERLINK "http://www.unt.edu/oda" www.unt.edu/oda, and by visiting the ODA in Room 321 of the University Union. You also may call the ODA at 940.565.4323. COURSE ASSIGNMENTS 1. Discussion board and web exercises 20% There will be ten discussion board topics and web exercises to enhance learning. These exercises are related to reading materials and other resources. These assignments are designed to measure the students grasp of concepts rather than the retention of facts. 2. Quizzes 20% Five quizzes covering reading assignments, lectures, and class discussion will be given. Students who do not complete quizzes by the stated deadline will lose a letter grade from their score on each late quiz. For example, if a student completes 4 of the 5 quizzes on time and receives a grade of 95 on the late quiz, the score recorded for the late quiz would be an 85. Students are encouraged to prepare and take the quizzes early rather than risk potentialities like power failures and technical problems which may be encountered at the last minute. Technical glitches, power failures, and the like are not sufficient grounds for waiver of the late quiz penalty. If you do encounter technical issues during a quiz, contact the student help desk for technical support and inform me of the situation as well. 3. Journal article review 10% Students will submit a onepage journal article review from a peer-reviewed rehabilitation or disability studies journal. Points will be awarded for form as well as content.The review will include the citation of the article in APA format (American Psychological Association).It will include 1) a quotation from the article which you believe best captures the essence of the author's message, 2) a summary of the major issues of the article as related to the assigned topic (about half a page), and 3) your reflection on the significance and contribution of the article.An example will be provided. 4. ADA Accessibility Checklist 10% Students will evaluate a community building/structure for ADA accessibility compliance using the form provided. Students will then use the evaluation form to complete the remainder of the assignment online, which includes discussion questions relating to the location and function of the building evaluated and the students reaction to their findings. 5. Book Report 20% Each student will complete a written book report on an autobiography or biography of a person with a disability.Students will be furnished with a list of potential books to use and a format for the report.The book report will address the following:medical/physical challenges associated with the disability; psychological issues associated with the disability; social issues associated with the disability. 6. Final Examination 20% The final exam is comprehensive and will consist of multiple choice and discussion questions. The objective portion of the exam will be timed and must be completed only on the specific date assigned. However, the discussion portion of the exam will be available beginning May 4 and is to be turned in no later than December 13 at 11:59pm. Further information and instructions will be provided as the course progresses.  4?@ABMNPRWZetu}   0 1 2 E F G yoht}OJQJ^Jh,OJQJ^Jh,ht}CJaJh ht}5h, h=@hhr[h5hh%>hX- h-h h5h-h5ht} hz,u5\ hX-5\ht}CJaJ hfq5\ ht}5\hRbCJaJ hRb5\( 4@Br 1 2 F G _ a $ +-@AN p^p`gdgd7$8$$7$8$a$ $7$8$a$gdRb& ^ a =  # $ / +,-?@Axy_`/0º֦ޟ—º€ޓhRbh,h,ht}CJaJhhh5 ht}6]huXha16h ht}5CJaJh ht}5ht}CJaJha1ha16huXha1h+5hht}ht}OJQJ^Jh+5hOJQJ^JhlOJQJ^J2Ay`0Iwt #M7$G$7$8$gdvvD & Fdd[$\$gd3 & Fdd[$\$gd & F7$8$7$8$"#Ivw7est+,?NPQRabc~wrje ha-}5h ht}5 hvvD5 hc'7hvvDh$rxhc'70Jjhc'7U h=hc'7jhc'7Uhc'7hvvDh,h hvvD5CJaJh hvvD5 h3ht}h3 hhhht}CJaJhRbht} hc'7aJ ht}aJ hRbaJht}CJaJ"   :\ #'{|LMNOPRlmoШȉЁzslbXh ht}5>*h h5>* hJ5>* ha-}5>* h=5>*ht}CJaJha>vht}5CJaJh>X ha>vha>vha>vha>v5ha>vhlh ht}5KH ha-}5KH h=5KHh3h=ht}h h 5 h_5h ht}5 ha-}5 h=5h=ht}5CJaJ!MOp!!!T#U#k#%%"%&&&&&gdh$a$gd4E7$8$gd7$8$gdO7$8$gdP,gdP,7$8$op g !_!`!!!!!!!!!!!"'"H"`"a"S#T#U#V#X#i#j#k##$G$f$$%%%%㼵|u hO5>*hOh#h,h5>*B*CJaJphh h5>* h5>* ha-}5>* h=5>* hP,5>*hP,h hP,5 hP,5 ha-}5 h=5ht}CJaJhIh4Ehlh3ht}h ht}5CJaJ.% %!%"%=%%%2&7&O&W&f&i&&&&&²£“£ю hh5 h=5hA>h4E>*CJOJQJaJhX-5>*CJOJQJaJhhl=h4E>*CJOJQJaJh4E5>*CJOJQJaJ"hTSih4E5>*CJOJQJaJh h5CJaJh h5>* ha-}5>*,1h/ =!"#$% DyK www.unt.edu/odayK Fhttp://www.unt.edu/odayX;H,]ą'c@@@ NormalCJ_HaJmH sH tH B@B  Heading 1$8$@&G$>*KH$V@V a Heading 3$<@&5CJOJQJ\^JaJDA@D Default Paragraph FontViV  Table Normal :V 44 la (k(No List F^@F Normal (Web)7$8$ OJQJ^J4B@4 Body Text7$8$6U@6 Hyperlink >*B*phFV@!F FollowedHyperlink >*B* phR>@2R 4ETitle$5$7$8$9DH$a$5>*CJOJQJaJjCj h Table Grid7:V0< 4@Br 12FG_a$+-@Ay`0 I w  t  #MOpTUk"08000000000000000000000000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0  0 00000000000000000000000000 o%&AM&&+QaX8@0(  B S  ?
