Indonesian students who study in Australia sometimes bring their family members, such as their children. Therefore, they do not only play a role as a student but also as a parent. The role will be more complex as they need to build partnership with their children’s school. Building family-school partnerships with families from culturally and linguistically difference can be challenging. Therefore, the aim of this research project was to understand the perspectives of Indonesian families to the notion of partnerships with the school for their children’s education. This study specifically focused on Indonesian families who study postgraduate education in Australia and have a child or children studying in early childhood education settings. This research was based on an exploratory case study. It involved semi-structured interviews with open-ended questions. The data was analyzed using an inductive strategy and thematic analysis. Findings showed that there was discrepancy between participants’ perspectives on authentic partnerships and the practice. Parents viewed partnerships as a collaboration only when they had concerns to children. Lack of open communication emerged as the challenge because participants’ role as a student. Parents felt hesitant also to ask about their children’s school program because of the lack of communication from the teacher and the cultural factor. Therefore, Indonesian families who have dual roles, as students and parents, and Australian teachers who have students that their parents also study could rethink what kind of partnerships that is effective for the benefit of children.   Mahasiswa Indonesia yang belajar di Australia terkadang membawa serta anggota keluarga, salah satunya adalah anak. Oleh karena itu, mereka memiliki peran ganda, sebagai mahasiswa dan sebagai orang tua. Peran tersebut menjadi lebih rumit jika anak mereka juga sekolah di Australia karena mereka diharapkan juga membangun kemitraan dengan sekolah anaknya. Membangun kemitraan antara sekolah dan orang tua dari negara yang berbeda bahasa dan budaya memiliki tantanganan tersendiri. Oleh karena itu, tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah memahami perspektif keluarga Indonesia tentang konsep kemitraan antara keluarga dan sekolah. Penelitian ini berfokus pada keluarga Indonesia yang sedang melanjutkan studi S2 di Australia dan mempunyai anak yang bersekolah di pendidikan anak usia dini. Penelitian ini berbentuk studi kasus eksploratori. Pengambilan data melalui wawancara semi-struktural dengan menggunakan pertanyaan terbuka. Analisis data menggunakan strategi induktif dan analisis tematik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan orangtua memiliki kekhawatiran yang berbeda terkait anaknya di sekolah. Ada ketidaksesuaian antara perspektif partisipan terkait konsep kemitraan dengan praktek di lapangan. Orangtua menganggap kemitraan sebagai kolaborasi hanya jika ada permasalahan pada anak. Kurangnya komunikasi menjadi tantangan kemitraan akibat peran orang tua sebagai mahasiswa. Orangtua ragu untuk bertanya terkait program sekolah karena kurangnya komunikasi dari guru dan juga faktor kultural. Maka  dari itu, keluarga Indonesia yang memiliki peran ganda, sebagai mahasiswa dan orangtua, serta guru PAUD di Australia yang memiliki siswa dengan orang tua yang juga pelajar di Australia dapat meninjau ulang kemitraan yang efektif untuk mendukung pembelajaran anak.

Purpose Misophonia is a sound tolerance disorder condition in certain sounds that trigger intense emotional or physiological responses. While some persons may experience misophonia, a few patients suffer from misophonia. However, there is a dearth of literature on audiological assessment and management of persons with misophonia. The purpose of this report is to discuss the assessment of misophonia and highlight the management option that helped a patient with misophonia. Method A case study of a 26-year-old woman with the complaint of decreased tolerance to specific sounds affecting quality of life is reported. Audiological assessment differentiated misophonia from hyperacusis. Management included retraining counseling as well as desensitization and habituation therapy based on the principles described by P. J. Jastreboff and Jastreboff (2014). A misophonia questionnaire was administered at regular intervals to monitor the effectiveness of therapy. Results A detailed case history and audiological evaluations including pure-tone audiogram and Johnson Hyperacusis Index revealed the presence of misophonia. The patient benefitted from intervention, and the scores of the misophonia questionnaire indicated a decrease in the severity of the problem. Conclusions It is important to differentially diagnose misophonia and hyperacusis in persons with sound tolerance disorders. Retraining counseling as well as desensitization and habituation therapy can help patients who suffer from misophonia.

This case report describes the positive outcome of a therapeutic intervention that integrated an intensive, residential component with follow-up telepractice for a 21 year old male who stutters. This therapy utilized an eclectic approach to intensive therapy in conjunction with a 12-month follow-up via video telepractice. The results indicated that the client benefited from the program as demonstrated by a reduction in percent stuttered syllables, a reduction in stuttering severity, and a change in attitudes and feelings related to stuttering and speaking.

Real-time amplitude contour and spectral displays were used in teaching speech production skills to a profoundly deaf, nonspeaking boy. This child had a visual attention problem, a behavior problem, and a poor academic record. In individual instruction, he was first taught to produce features of speech, for example, friction, nasal, and stop, which are present in vocalizations of 6- to 9-month-old infants, and then to combine these features in syllables and words. He made progress in speech, although sign language and finger spelling were taught at the same time. Speech production skills were retained after instruction was terminated. The results suggest that deaf children are able to extract information about the features of speech from visual displays, and that a developmental sequence should be followed as far as possible in teaching speech production skills to them.

On page 112 of the report by Wilson, Oldring, and Mueller ("Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Dissection: A Case Report Involving Return of Spastic Dysphonia after Initial Surgery," pp. 112-118), the paraphrase from Cooper (1971), "if the patients are carefully selected and are willing to remain in therapy for a long period of time," was inadvertantly put in quotation marks.
