Development of Teaching Materials to Support Learning of Children With Cerebral Palsy in the Japanese Curriculum

In addition to bodily dysfunction, about 30 to 50 percent of children with cerebral palsy have various problems in terms of sight and cognitive aspects. For example, sentences that they speak or write are redundant and cannot be summarized. Finding a coherent word or sentence is sometimes difficult for them. It is also difficult to draw a solid on a plane; to recognize the ground from the figure; to capture things while maintaining objective and panoramic viewpoints; to think on the other side. Causes for these difficulties have not yet been elucidated. Teachers are working on effective teaching methods and materials and development for these children's phenomena every day. This study summarizes the practical examples of the teaching materials developed at the school site in Japan and their effects and usefulness.

Cerebral palsy is one of the known and famous types of neurological impairment among children across the globe. The study aimed to see the effect of graded conditioning and exercises over some of the physiological variables of children with cerebral palsy. For the purpose of the study 20 children with cerebral palsy were selected and were divided into two groups of ten each the experimental group were given the treatment and the other was the kept as control group for twelve weeks. To obtain the results the analysis of co-variance was applied and it was seen that resting heart rate (.006), triceps girth (.002), suprailliac girth (.002), abdominal umbilicus (.001), sub-scapular girth (.009), positive breath holding capacity (.007) and cardio-respiratory endurance (.001) showed positive significance at .005 level. As after twelve weeks of graded conditioning it can be seen that most of the physiological variables and variables of body composition showed great signs of improvement and showed positive significance, so it can be concluded that with good graded training (according to their need and capability) the positive physiological improvement can be made among children with cerebral palsy.

Ideally, teaching materials will be tailored to the content in which they are being used, to the students in whose class they are being used, and the teacher. Teaching materials come in many shapes and sizes, but they all in common the ability to support students learning. So, teaching materials can support students learning and increase students’ success. Hence, instructional materials for effective teaching. The quality of those materials is a valuable skill that the teacher must be mastered. The materials chosen in teaching learning include textbook that extent to which a curriculum that will involve teacher made material, which content of additional activities and exercises, handouts, charts, review sheets, etc.

AbstrakKeluarga, khususnya orangtua merupakan orang yang paling dekat dengan anak, sehingga orangtua memiliki peranan yang sangat penting di dalam kehidupan anak, terutama anak yang memiliki kondisi cerebral palsy. Namun, di sisi lain, orangtua yang memiliki anak dengan cerebral palsy memiliki peluang lebih besar untuk mengalami kondisi yang menyebabkan stres. Metode yang digunakan dalam jurnal ilmiah ini adalah dengan studi literatur. Agar dapat menjalankan peranannya sebagai orangtua bagi anaknya yang memiliki kondisi cerebral palsy, orangtua memerlukan dukungan sosial. Pekerja sosial dapat berperan dalam mengatasi hal ini yaitu dengan pemberian pelayanan kelompok melalui support group. Support group memiliki kekuatan penyembuhan karena orangtua yang memiliki anak dengan cerebral palsy akan mendapatkan dukungan yang sifatnya timbal balik. AbstrackFamily, especially parents are the people closest to children, so parents have a very important role in the lives of children, especially children who have a condition of cerebral palsy. However, on the other hand, parents who have children with cerebral palsy have a greater chance of experiencing stressful conditions. The method used in this scientific journal is the study of literature. In order to be able to carry out its role as a parent for children who have cerebral palsy, parents need social support. Social workers can play a role in overcoming this, namely by providing group services through a support group. Support groups have therapeutic powers because parents who have children with cerebral palsy will get reciprocal support.

Abstract This study describes the prevalence of speech problems and the use of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) in children with cerebral palsy (CP) in Norway. Information on the communicative abilities of 564 children with CP born 1996–2003, recorded in the Norwegian CP Registry, was collected. A total of 270 children (48%) had normal speech, 90 (16%) had slightly indistinct speech, 52 (9%) had indistinct speech, 35 (6%) had very indistinct speech, 110 children (19%) had no speech, and 7 (1%) were unknown. Speech problems were most common in children with dyskinetic CP (92 %), in children with the most severe gross motor function impairments and among children being totally dependent on assistance in feeding or tube-fed children. A higher proportion of children born at term had speech problems when compared with children born before 32 weeks of gestational age 32 (p > 0.001). Among the 197 children with speech problems only, 106 (54%) used AAC in some form. Approximately 20% of children had no verbal speech, whereas ~15% had significant speech problems. Among children with either significant speech problems or no speech, only 54% used AAC in any form.
