on changes in clientâs body composition. Even though the TRX training is challenging, my clients have found it to be a very useful form <strong>of</strong> strength<br />
training. These sentiments can be backed up by positive body composition changes; as the women became tone and lost weight, while the men<br />
gained strength and muscle mass. Data will be provided showing the improvements made in body composition. I will introduce this relatively new<br />
type <strong>of</strong> training, while simultaneously demonstrating its positive benefits.<br />
This display is about these career fields projected 10 years into the future: Exercise<br />

Occupational TherapyI am going to research what an occupational therapists’ everyday job life is. I will also find what the salaries are; starting,<br />
average and projected. I will also research the perquisites that one must have to become a successful occupational therapist. I am interested in<br />
looking into what their job entails. I will look into what types <strong>of</strong> jobs are available as well as the employment projection for when I will be entering<br />
the field. Athletic TrainingI am going to research what the job <strong>of</strong> an athletic trainer entails and how to obtain a career in the athletic training field.<br />
I will research the average salary starting out and down the road in your career. I will figure out the exact requirement that it takes to become an<br />
athletic trainer and the their everyday job. I will find out what jobs are available to someone with this degree and what elements athletic training<br />
mainly works on.Exercise PhysiologyI will research what the job entails and where a person is to go with this career. I will find out the average<br />
salary <strong>of</strong> an exercise physiologist and what requirements that one must have to become one. I will research what jobs are available, and also if this<br />
career is based more on training, prevention, or rehabilitation.Physical TherapyI am going to research what an average day is like for a physical<br />
therapist. It will also be important to research the projected growth for this field in order to find out the job opportunities. In addition I will need<br />
to discover what interests are needed and other experiences to become a physical therapist. It will be interesting to learn the new technology that<br />
is constantly being updated in this career field.<br />

One <strong>of</strong> the defining characteristics <strong>of</strong> the Autism Spectrum Disorders is deficits in the development <strong>of</strong> communication skills. Children with autism<br />
can be nonverbal, be verbal but struggle with speech, and also have deficits in auditory processing. These developmental deficits not only make<br />
communication difficult for children with autism, they also make communication stressful. This paper describes the most common communication<br />
problems children with autism must deal with in school and life in general, and describes actions that educators can take in classrooms to<br />
enhance the learning <strong>of</strong> students with autism and make them more able to learn. When educators are more aware <strong>of</strong> the communication abilities<br />
<strong>of</strong> the students with autism that spend time in their classroom they will be better able to instruct these students in academic content areas. More<br />
importantly, they will be better prepared to understand each individual student and help him or her learn how to communicate with others more<br />
effectively.<br />

Knowing how to identify gifted students is a challenge that all teachers will face and this identification can shape a childâs future. According to the<br />
OSTP Standards (2005), Standard 1 states that teachers need to be able to ârecognize characteristics <strong>of</strong> gifted students, students with disabilities<br />
and at-risk students in order to assist in appropriate identification, instruction and interventionâ (p. 15). This paper delves deeper into the topic<br />
<strong>of</strong> gifted education in order to better inform future educators <strong>of</strong> the definitions <strong>of</strong> giftedness, the criteria used to identify gifted students, the different<br />
models <strong>of</strong> gifted education, and the impact <strong>of</strong> teachers on gifted students. By providing a broad base <strong>of</strong> knowledge in gifted education, the<br />
