Northwest Perry Child Development Center, 1969
No full textThe following proposal entitled Northwest Perry Child Development CenterIs submitted to the United States Office of Health, Education, and Welfare, office of Economic Opportunity. The project has been designed for a one year period, under the direction of Mrs. Odinga Dalrobl, This project is requesting funds in the amount of $11,900.00. There will be eleven pro�fessional full-time staff members, three part-time professional and eleven non-professionals. The project will run from Sep�tember 1, 1969 to August 31. 1970.The proposed child Development Center will meet an acute need for day care in the Northwest Perry area in Atlanta, Georgia where no child care facility exists for low-income families. The center would serve fifty children from three to twelve years of age, freeing low-income mothers and fathers for the employ�ment market, between the hours of 7:00 A.M. and 12:00 midnight.There have been several attempts of welfare recipients and other low-income families to become self-sufficient through employment. Because they are unskilled, many are participating in re-training programs. Others must take jobs at night. What happens to their children during these hours or after they are dismissed from school? This project is worthy of support, because, children will receive the educational, social, and emotional attention due them through knowledgeable, and skilled professional workers. Children of school age will be able to receive free tutoring services in areas where educational weaknesses have been de�tected. This service will be provided by volunteer students and graduates from the Atlanta University Center. Child care which affords maximum opportunity to grow and develop, provides planned and well prepared meals, and assures exceptional physical care of children is the first priority of service given by the child development center, which is here proposed

Effects of strength training on neuromuscular facial rehabilitation
No full textPurpose: Neuromuscular facial rehabilitation (NMR) using electromyographic (EMG) biofeedback has been reported to retrain muscles of facial expression by targeting increased symmetry and movement (Cronin & Steenerson, 2003, Diels & Combs, 1997; May & Schaitkin, 2000). Since denervation is a serious consequence of facial nerve damage, the present study posits that strength training may be necessary prior to EMG rehabilitation to augment blood flow and oxygen exchange and stimulate angiogenesis (growth of new capillaries) and arteriogenesis (enlargement of pre-existing vessels) for improvement in muscle performance (Yang et al, 2008). Methods: The present study examined effects of strength training in a single participant (P1; author) with right side facial nerve paresis, thirteen years post-onset, resulting from a motorcycle accident. The six and a half week, twice per day protocol targeted maximum strength training in areas served by the obicularis oris superioris (OOS), orbicularis oris inferioris (OOI), zygomaticus (ZYG), and buccal musculature (BM) using the Iowa Oral Pressure Instrument (IOPI). Lip retraction was measured using the Perry Appliance, overlay-grid, and Facial Nerve Grading System (FNGS-2). Pre- through post-therapy data from P1's affected side was compared to P1's non-affected side and an age- and gender-matched control participant (P2). Results: A significant maximum strength increase occurred in P1's right BM, and right and left OOS and OOI after six weeks of facial strengthening exercises. No significant change occurred in P1's non-affected side for the remaining facial regions, or in any of P2'sfacial regions. No significant increase in lip retraction occurred for either participant. Inter-rater reliability was highest for the Perry Appliance, followed by the overlay-grid and FNGS-2
