Artificial Blood: Unsolvable Biological Puzzle Or Soon-To-Be Reality?
What
is the common denominator for milk, lamb blood, urine, and beer? You would
never guess, so we let you off the hook: they were all tried as substitutes for
blood during experiments on the quest to find an alternative fluid to replace
the elixir of life: human blood. Despite the tremendous efforts, though,

Blood
has been the symbol of life for millennia – as it is connected so vehemently to
good health and well-being. People notice...

Do you ever walk into a classroom to find your student’s augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) device sitting quietly on a shelf? Does everyone on the school team think of it as a voice?
After experiencing AAC access challenges with many well-meaning educators on a number of occasions, I probed deeper. I soon discovered other school-based speech-language pathologists encountered similar challenges. When I asked them for theories as to why this was happening, several themes emerged.
