Evaluating the Initiative mer, 05/07/2014
My 3 yr old Grandson is blind and starting pre-cane training. Our street has no sidewalks so we must go in the road. The city of Boca Raton told us a "blind child in the area" sign cannot be installed because there is no such thing in traffic law. They said we could easily get a deaf person sign if we wanted. Aidan should safely be able to explore his own street and neighborhood. Do you have any suggestions? A local pre-school also ignored requests for admission, stating they were not equipped to take him. We explained that he has a small amount of functional vision in the 0-6 inch range, and we could assist in class if needed. Where do we start, sign being first priority. Thank you.

Hello,

How do I cite a quote from your website in APA format?
Some sections have a contributor, some do not.

Thank you,

I have an assignment to pick a health policy and to a policy analysis.

My topic is "issues that arise due to an aging population" medical conditions that will arise, living longer and assisted living, the workforce depletion, healthcare costs will rise, etc. the policy that is attached to this issue is the "Prevention and Healthcare Fund". I believe prevention through education and motivating each individual to remain as healthy as possible is most important, because doing this affects and decreases the negative impact of these issues. My instructions are to pick a policy, pick an issue, and write a policy analysis. I am to identify key stakeholders, provide 3 to 5 options to consider, inform pros and cons of each and apply each criterion to all my options. I am confused about the options. What do the options mean is it the education, the rising healthcare costs. Can you please help me.
Do I need to change policys?
Thank you

I work at a Kansas City non-profit that provides medical services internationally. I am looking into redesigning our international scout trips. These trips are designed to look into potential sites to send medical teams to provide healthcare. I hope to put into place a formalized needs assessment using a CBPR approach to implement into each proposed international site. We are looking into grants to help fund the endeavor of implementing the needs assessment overseas. I was wondering if you had any tips on creating a budget for needs assessments. Thank you.

We the Navajo Nation, have a serious educational problem and that is our student achievement is very low. We would like to improve the student achievement from within. There are method that could be used such as the "Action Research" method, but this would take working on each individual school to address this problem. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi, my name is Stephanie Dunn. I am receiving a Bachelor of Science in Mental Health and Human Services in September 2014. I served my internship at Hartford Sumner Elementary School school year 2012-2013, in my community. Since then I have been finishing up by degree and volunteering at the same Elementary school, I intend to begin graduate school fall 2015. I am interested in the grant process and what that would require. My community is in the Western foothills of Maine. We are a rural area and one of the highest areas of substance abuse in the United States. I am interested in continuing my work with the school system, working with students and educators. I currently volunteer with Big Brothers Big Sisters program that is at our school. There are many needs in our community and I would like to be part of the support services.
Our Elementary school just lost 4 teachers, and there were 20 more district wide jobs cut. I would like to get some information in what a grant requires ,and if would be possible for me to do. Thank-you

Dear Sir's
I am very happy to find this tool box and I send my appreciation. This, for a very long time I have been struggling to find; thank you so much for exemplary good work.
However, I intend to create a social enterprise targeting working to build healthy community and bring about a social change. I am looking at how better I can prepare my community to work together to change conditions that affect their lives. My community (the Iteso) had a pride over their cows and this was their bank; it was a source of school fees and general well being of the community. Between 1986 to 1993, the Iteso lost their pride to cattle rustlers. The Iteso now rely on subsistence farming as a source of their general well being including school fees for their children. Through universal primary/secondary education, Educational standards have gone down as compared to years before 1986. Recent poverty statistics show 54% of the Iteso community are below poverty line. Please advise me.
Regards

I am part of a grassroots parents movement called Decoding Dyslexia. Currently we are located in 46 states. www.decodingdyslexia.net. We strive to raise dyslexia awareness, empower families to support their children, and shape policy regarding resources children with dyslexia receive in schools.

We are planning a "meet your Congressperson" day in Washington DC to raise dyslexia awareness. Do you know of helpful tools to organize this event. And funding opportunities?

Great website and work -- by the way!

Thank you,
Diana Sticker
