Summarize the following:
S. You don't have to be a U.S. citizen to compete on The Voice, but you do need to be able to prove that you can legally stay and work in the U.S. Some acceptable forms of proof include: A valid U.S. passport A valid U.S. driver's license and social security card A green card You don't have to be 13 yet at the time of your audition. However, you must turn 13 by the deadline stated on The Voice's casting website in order to participate in the current year's competition. Check the Eligibility page to see if you meet the age criteria to compete: https://www.nbcthevoice.com/auditions/eligibility. For example, to participate in the 2019 competition, you must turn 13 on or before March 20, 2019. If you're younger than 18, you'll need to have a parent or guardian submit a Parental/Legal Guardian Consent form along with your application. Candidates for public office aren't eligible to audition for The Voice. If you are selected to participate in the competition, you'll have to put off running for any office for at least 1 year after the final episode of that year's show is broadcast. If you do want to run for office after competing, talk to the producers about the projected schedule for the show so that you can plan accordingly. Before you can participate on The Voice, you may be asked to complete a background check to ensure that you are legally eligible to compete. You'll need to voluntarily agree to the check. Make sure to submit any required paperwork or supporting documents associated with the background check. You will likely need to supply written permission for the background check to be conducted. You may also need to participate in a physical and psychological evaluation if you're selected as a contestant. The Voice won't pay for you to travel to auditions, so be prepared to pay for your own transportation and (if necessary) room and board. If you don't live in or near one of the audition cities, plan ahead so that you can reserve any necessary tickets or hotel rooms in advance. In 2019, The Voice auditions are being held in New York, NY, Miami, FL, Nashville, TN, and San Francisco, CA. If you're invited to be a participant, you will need to fill out a variety of agreements, release forms, and waivers. Make sure you fill out all of these forms and submit them by the required deadlines so that you will be eligible to participate in the show. Documents you may be required to submit include a Participant Agreement and a Release and Arbitration Provision. If you're a minor, you may need a parent or guardian to complete some of the paperwork for you. If you make it to the last rounds of the audition process, you may be asked to stay in Los Angeles, CA for up to 7 days during the final selection. If you're selected as a contestant, be ready to travel to one or more locations and stay there for several weeks or months during the filming of the show. If you're selected as a finalist or a competitor, the producer of the show will pay for your travel and lodging expenses. Before you can compete on The Voice, the producer and the network(s) involved in broadcasting the show will need to determine if it would be inappropriate for you to compete for any reason. Make sure to answer any questions honestly and provide any details that they request. They may ask you if: You or any of your family members have worked for NBC or any other networks or studios involved in the show over the past 2 years. You or a family member has been involved in the development or production of The Voice, or worked for someone who has. You or a family member has been involved with advertising or sponsorship of the show.

summary: Provide proof that you are legally present in the U. Make sure you will be at least 13 years old by this year's deadline. Don't audition if you're running for public office. Submit to a background check. Save enough money to cover your own travel expenses. Complete and return any required paperwork on time. Be prepared to meet the show's travel demands if you're selected. Work with the producer to ensure you meet all propriety requirements.

Summarize the following:
If the person is clear-headed enough to communicate, then they may be able to partially or completely explain the issue to you. They might be able to... Speak to you Write on paper or type on a phone/tablet Use sign language Point to cards on an AAC app Use handheld communication cards Show you what's wrong Nod or shake their head when you ask yes/no questions Rule out any safety or illness-related issues. Some autistic people struggle to communicate when something is wrong. If you ask "Does something hurt or feel strange?", the person may be able to point to an area that hurts or feels off. If an autistic person is self-injuring in a specific area, then it may be that they're experiencing pain in that place. For example, hitting the head could be a sign of lice, a migraine, or a toothache. A checkup may be a good idea. If they're fidgeting with or looking at a specific body part, visually check the area and see if you can tell what's wrong. (For example, you might see a rash or an injury.) An overwhelming environment can be literally painful to some autistic people, and sensory overload may impede clear thinking and communication. Hiding the eyes/ears, covering the face, and putting up hoods are all signs of being overwhelmed. If you ask them if they want to take a break or go somewhere quieter, they'll likely look eager or relieved to do so. Here are some potential problems: Flickering fluorescent lights Loud background noise, especially low-pitched noise Strong smells Clothes with itchy fabrics, seams, or tags (Notice if they're fidgeting with or trying to remove clothes) If they can't speak, then it can be frustrating to be unable to convey something. Try asking "Are you trying to tell me something?" You may be able to ask yes/no questions to help narrow it down. Is anyone making the autistic person uncomfortable or upset? Notice how the person is being treated, and if they're showing signs of distress in response. In this case, the person also might want to be removed from the situation, even temporarily. The person might be bothered by... Arguments Bullying, or a peer or adult provoking them People intruding on personal space Condescending people Being punished unexpectedly People expecting the person to act non-autistic (which can be very stressful and difficult) Someone ignoring their attempts to communicate (including communicating through behavior, such as trying to escape or flopping to the floor) When did they last eat? How busy was their day today? Could they need some food or a rest? Try offering food, suggesting a relaxing activity (like TV time), or proposing a nap. If they jump at the opportunity, that's probably what they need. Too much social time can be tiring. If they've been socializing for a while, then they might need some alone time. Sometimes, parents of autistic kids make the mistake of cramming in too much therapy and not enough downtime. Kids need lots of time to relax and play without being bossed around. Autistic teens and adults might try to take on too much work, not realizing that an average lifestyle may be too busy for them. The autistic person may be dreading an upcoming event. Is a difficult part of their routine (e.g. hair-brushing or going to bed to face nightmares) coming up soon? Do they have any hated appointments, such as with a doctor or a bad therapist? Is there a big test or project at school or work? Do they have to go to a party or an otherwise loud/overwhelming event? If the person was reminded of something scary or awful that happened, that might stress them out. Driving down a street where the person used to visit a mean therapist Hearing the word "doctor" and remembering a difficult appointment Visiting a school where they were bullied
summary: Ask what's wrong. Check if they're hurt or sick. Look for sources of sensory pain. Think about whether they're trying to tell you something. Consider social conflict and pressure. Think about whether they could be hungry or tired. Think about if they might be afraid of something that has to happen soon. Consider whether bad memories could be involved.
