Masterminds are a peer-to peer-learning environment and a proven business tool in which individuals with similar interests and experiences can learn from one another. They are an “inner circle” of individuals who face similar pressures, challenges, and concerns, and learn from the success and failures of others. 

Family Business Mastermind™ meetings are designed to provide opportunity for people in family businesses to learn best practices of successful family enterprises through a shared experience. They are led by educators and professionals who are from and have personal family businesses experience.

Our topic for discussion at the October 19, 2018 meeting will be: Strategies for Success of Family and Business in Multi-Generational Family Enterprises. While no family businesses are alike, the challenges encountered often have been experienced by others. In this meeting of the Family Business Mastermind™ participants will hear best management practices of multi-generational family enterprises. Participating in the October meeting will be Baruch's 2018 Global Family Business Event guest speaker, Fernando Carrilho, 3rd-generation member of Construtora Carrilho, a construction and property development company based in Brazil.

Mastermind meetings are open to members of active family businesses in the New York metropolitan area - whether they work in the businss or not. To facilitate the open discussion upon which the mastermind depends, seating is limited.

Ideal for occupational and physical therapists, teachers, parents, or anyone with an interest in adaptation

Earn 0.5 AOTA Continuing Education Units for occupational therapists*  

or 5.0 to 6.0 Contact Hours for other professions


Led by Adaptive Design's team of expert designers and fabricators: (10:00-10:30) participants share the basic user-specific adaptation selected after Day 2, a brief description of the client, and justification for selection.(10:30-4:00) Participants construct a more complex custom adaptation from start to finish and then present final work to the group.

To receive CEU, participants must attend the full course, complete all hands-on activities and assignments, and complete the course evaluation. As this is an introductory course, proficiency in all skills may not be achieved by everyone.

Course includes a 1 hour lunch break. Bring your own or purchase from a variety of nearby locations.



Other than brief group discussions, the course consists of supervised hands-on fabrication activities. Following completion of days 1, 2 and 3 of this series, participants will be able to:

1. State the importance of proactively identifying user-specific adaptive equipment needs.

2. Use best practices when choosing and constructing customized adaptations.

3. List at least one potential adaptation from 3 categories: Positioning (multiple options), Communication (expressive, receptive, formal, informal), ADL’s (feeding, dressing, toileting, self-care), Mobility and Sensory Integration, Pre-vocation, Play and Recreation, Art and Music.

4. Increase capacity to write justifications for custom-made adaptive devices that include:

• How the client is functioning without the device
• Why that functional level is problematic—listing 2 or 3 consequences that negatively impact physical, social, academic, emotional, or other developmental growth
• Projections of benefits expected to prevent the 2 or 3 negative consequences listed above

5. Demonstrate understanding of the properties, strength, and applications of single-layer and tri-wall cardboard for creating safe, functional adaptations, by executing basic carpentry and finishing techniques using hand and power tools appropriate for these materials.

6. Construct a basic adaptation for hypothetical clients.

7. Construct a customized basic adaptation for actual clients on their caseloads, with appropriate attention to aesthetic concerns.

8. Participate collaboratively when working as a team member.

Please call 212/904-1200 for any additional information.

---

This is the third day of a 3-day series in which participants learn basic design and construction techniques for single-layer and tri-wall cardboard, as well as safe hand and power tool use. They practice: writing funding justifications; gathering required measurements and other specifications; and fabricating basic, user-specific adaptations.

Day 1, Cardboard Basics in Adaptive Design: taught basic techniques for building with cardboard, and safe tool use.   Focus was on standard (single-layer) corrugated cardboard and on the process of designing an adaptation to suit the needs of an individual. Participants individually make a notions box; then in small groups, design and build a mock-up adaptation. This course must be taken before Day 2.

After Day 1, in preparation for Day 2, participants selected one of a number of basic adaptations (e.g., a footrest or an easel) to build for a client on their caseloads; gathered user-specific information necessary for building the adaptation; and drafted a brief justification.

Day 2, Making Adaptive Equipment Work: Participants presented and discussed justifications and adaptation information. Participants learned Tri-wall carpentry techniques and safe power tool use. Participants built the selected basic adaptation and submitted a finalized justification for it.

In preparation for Day 3, participants prepared a justification for a different adaptation to build on Day 3, along with collecting new information. (Instead, participants may opt to revise the adaptation built on Day 2, with revised justification and specifications.)

Day 3, Adaptive Devices: Made to Fit (this course): Participants share the user-specific adaptation selected, a brief description of the client, and justification for selection. Participants construct the adaptation from start to finish and then present final work to the group.

In 2018, the National Hispanic Council on Aging (NHCOA) is holding the Reframing Aging Thought Leaders Roundtable Series. The 2018 edition focuses on Reframing Aging as a follow up to an initiative of the leaders of national aging organizations (LOA) (The American Society on Aging, Grantmakers in Aging, the Gerontological Society of America, AARP, the American Federation for Aging Research, the American Geriatric Society, the National Council on Aging, and NHCOA). 

The Reframing Aging Thought Leaders Roundtable will be held at the American Cancer Society of New York on October 19, 2018 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

This roundtable has been designed to engage individuals representing key sectors such as aging, caregiving, public health, public policy, government, community-based and national organizations, and the faith community to address the misconception that older adults are incompetent, dependent, and most importantly a deteriorating population. 

According to our 2017 Status of Hispanic Older Adults Report, most of the older population in the United States is independent, healthier and socially productive. Therefore, NHCOA is using this convening to engage key leaders in reframing aging in our society and shift public perception about aging. This work is building on the research commissioned by LAO and conducted by The FrameWorks Institute, which produced new, actionable information important to the aging field, and has been enthusiastically embraced by the broader aging community. It resulted in a deeper understanding of how aging fits in our broader society and has laid the groundwork for transcending these (inaccurate) beliefs. With the findings, an opportunity for more effective communications emanating from the aging field is anticipated. 

The research confirmed that the public has deeply held beliefs about older adults that would lead them to inaction on issues important to the country’s aging population. These negative views, such as decline is inevitable, do not comport with the understanding of experts in aging. 

We are looking forward to your participation in this event. Do not hesitate to contact Andrea Montes at events@nhcoa.org or (202) 347-9733 should you have any questions or concerns.

The Reframing Aging Thought Leaders Roundtable in NY is a free of charge event. Donations are welcome.

'סיור נשות החיל של לשבט בגריניץ' וילג

הסיפור המוכר של ניו יורק הוא של גברים חכמים שזקפו גורדי שחקים רבי קומות, של גברים מוצלחים שידעו לנהל את הכסף שלהם נכון או של גברים מנהיגים שהובילו מהפכות חברתיות, תרבותיות ומוניציפליות. אבל מה עם הנשים של ניו יורק? האם יכול להיות שהן פשוט ישבו בבית שלהן ורקמו? כמובן שלא

בסיור "נשות החיל של גריניץ' וילג'" עם 'אלמה ניר' נכיר כמה מהנשים ששינו לנו את החיים, ואנחנו בכלל לא יודעות על זה. במקביל לסקירה של ההיסטוריה המרתקת של גריניץ' וילג' ושיטוט ברחובות שלה, נכיר כמה מהנשים הללו ואת הרעיונות "הרדיקליים" שלהן, שכללו: זכויות עובדים ועובדות (השתגעו!), שימוש באמצעי מניעה (בושה!), אהבה חופשית (מה זה?), שימור עירוני (קומוניסטיות!) ועוד ועוד

 הסיור נערך במיוחד עבור נשות לשבט, ויכלול כוס תה בבית קפה שנשמר מ-1916, כדי שניכנס לאווירה של אותם זמנים. נשמח להכיר חברות ותיקות וחדשות כך שהרגישו חופשיות (!) להזמין

Tour FAQs

How long is the tour?

The tour should last a little over an hour, usually around an hour and fifteen minutes.




Will the tour be cancelled due to weather?

Unless the university is closed for extreme weather conditions, our tours will go as scheduled! Be prepared for whatever the forecast is, and our tour guides will have an alternative route available for inclement weather.




Will we be visiting every NYU building?

Because NYU’s campus is spread throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn, we will only be visiting key buildings on our main campus that are open to all NYU students. However, if you want to visit a specific building, feel free to ask your tour guide for directions!




Is there parking nearby?

Manhattan can be a tricky place in terms of parking, but there is a parking garage on West 3rd between MacDougal and 6th Avenue, as well as West 3rd between Laguardia and Mercer St. Bring your parking ticket to the Bonomi Admissions Center and we can stamp it for validation.

If you're lucky, you may also be able to find parking on the street. But, we recommend taking public transportation whenever possible, as we're located close to several subway stops. 




Can I leave my bags or luggage at the Admissions Center?

Unfortunately we do not have a place to store luggage or any personal items. If you bring anything with you to the tour, you will have to carry it with you for the duration of your visit. We strongly suggest packing light, but if you do have luggage with you, be sure to let your tour guide know and they’ll be sure to take elevators instead of stairs when necessary!
