The Potential of Genius in Persons with Disabilities

Unfortunately, one of the most overlooked and devalued groups of people are those with disabilities. In the USA, the most progressive country in the world, there is still great disparity in the treatment and access to school and work opportunities for differently-abled persons, especially those with non-visible and mental disabilities. We can openly discuss the disparity by our willingness to consider the potential of genius within every human being, regardless of the level of their abilities. Our special guest is Dr. Will Moreland, a military veteran and author of the critically acclaimed book Genius Potential. He is known as America's #1 Leadership Life Trainer and appears frequently on national television shows to share his insights on leadership, personal development and current events.

The Impact of Stress, As It Relates to War, School, and Work

Students in classes from pre-school to graduate levels experience the impact of stress related to war, violence, and/or trauma. However, stress is subjective and all human beings react differently based on their genetic make-up, personality, experiences, and environment. Adult Learners with PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) and Depression experience even greater stress and anxiety handling everyday pressures of work and school schedules. In addition, the competition for present and future jobs is another source of great stress for most Adult Learners. Dr. Applewhite and guests will discuss ways to minimize the impact of stress reported by Adult Learners and Student Veterans regarding conflicts in Syria, Iran, Afghanistan, African countries and other places around the world.

Discrimination of Disabled Students & Student Loans (Rerun)

Working with Non-Visible Disabilities (Rerun)

You don’t look “disabled”! Many have thought this statement and/or said it. This is a major reason why many people with a mental/learning or non-visible disability are hesitant to communicate their needs for accommodations at school or on the job? Unfortunately, many adults in the workplace today experienced negative stereotypes in early school years about people who learn differently than others and never learned how to communicate their needs to others. Special Guest Robert Hickem from Salt River Council joins to discuss the importance of communication between agencies and the persons with disabilities they serve.
