This article describes a community project which demonstrates the skills that Occupational Therapists can offer to local School Boards in early identification and remediation of children with learning difficulties. The project included screening and remediation of children found to be high risk for learning problems in a kindergarten class. The teachers were then assisted, through a series of workshops, to establish their own remedial programs. The School Board has now requested that the Occupational Therapists present the series of workshops to all schools in its jurisdiction.

: Carotid atherosclerosis is responsible for a great proportion of ischemic strokes. Early identification of unstable or vulnerable carotid plaques and therefore of patients at high risk for stroke is of significant medical and socioeconomical value. We reviewed the current literature and discuss the potential role of the most important serum biomarkers in identifying patients with carotid atherosclerosis who are at high risk for atheroembolic stroke.

This article discusses how to develop instructional media as a solution that can be used to overcome for learners difficulties as dyslexic. The one of technologies development that relevant can be used to help students with dyslexia is audiobooks. DTB is one of audiobooks format that can assist learners with learning difficulties as dyslexics become better learners. Because, DTB is can be an effective aids to support the learning of reading and increase in reading comprehension, so as to improve the ability of learners with dyslexia that will ultimately lead to better of value lessons. DTB form in accordance with the needs of dyslexic learners is Tobi DAISY, which is in the form of digital talking books are synchronized between the visual (text, images, tables, charts) and audio. It is possible to make it easier for dyslexic learners in learning to read or understand the reading. The purpose of this article is to give an overview of Tobi DAISY de-velopment that could be used and produced individually for dyslexics to fit the required content. Through Tobi DAISY advantages, it can be concluded that this relevant to be used for dyslexics to help in reading and reading comprehension. AbstrakKesulitan belajar bagi peserta didik mengacu pada masalah belajar yang signifikan dalam pembelajaran. Salah satunya adalah penderita disleksia yang mempunyai kesulitan dalam membaca maupun memahami bacaan. Oleh karenanya diperlukan bantuan teknologi yang dapat digunakan sebagai alat bantu peserta didik disleksia dalam belajar membaca atau memahami bacaan, sehingga dapat mengatasi kesenjangan pemahaman mereka dalam pembelajaran.

Hal ini dimungkinkan lebih memudahkan peserta didik disleksia dalam belajar membaca atau memahami bacaan. Tujuan kajian artikel ini adalah memberikan gambaran pengembangan Tobi DAISY yang dapat digunakan dan diproduksi secara pribadi bagi pend erita disleksia sehingga sesuai dengan konten yang dibutuhkan. Melalui kelebihan yang dimiliki Tobi DAISY, maka dapat disimpulkan relevan untuk digunakan bagi penderita disleksia dalam membantu belajar membaca dan memahami bacaan.

<p><em>This study aims to identify problems in learning science at home during the Covid-19 pandemic that occurred in fifth grade students at SDN Peterongan in the 2019/2020 school year. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative with a phenomenological approach. The data sources of this study were all fifth grade students, parents, and fifth grade teachers. The data collection technique was done by using questionnaires, interviews, and documentation studies. The data validity test used in this study was technical triangulation and source triangulation. Data were analyzed using the data analysis model Miles and Huberman. The results of this study indicate that student learning problems occur due to lack of interest and motivation of students and students have difficulty understanding concepts. Only 36% of students showed interest in online science learning, and 70% of students had difficulty understanding concepts. The problems that occur are caused by several factors. Based on these factors, efforts that can be made to solve learning problems experienced by students are to increase students' interest and motivation by choosing learning methods and media that make students interested and become more active, provide enrichment and remedial, and maintain communication with parents to monitor student learning difficulties at home.</em></p>

Assumptions underlying programs of early identification of young children viewed as educationally “at risk” are reviewed in terms of the research literature relevant to questions of validity of identifying or screening techniques, implications of recognition for remediation, and possible compounding negative effects of early identification. Guidelines for development and implementation of programs of early detection are proposed. Recommendations include emphasis upon techniques which are short term and educationally oriented and which are based on functional aspects of children's behavior in classroom settings.
