AbstractAround 30% of elementary school students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are considered minimally verbal, yet there is limited research addressing the needs of this group of students. Several recent studies have demonstrated successful improvement of the communication skills of elementary school students with limited verbal skills. Additionally, there are focused intervention practices that are evidence based and may be useful in targeting communication skills for children with ASD who are minimally verbal. This article will review existing information about interventions to target communication skills in elementary school children with ASD who are minimally verbal, identify potential target skills, and provide case examples of how to embed communication interventions in elementary school classroom settings from a pilot intervention study.

Recognition of Kazakh language as the state language of the Republic of Kazakhstan by the Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan, adoption of ‘State programme of functioning and development of languages for 2011–2020’, the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan ‘On languages of the Republic of Kazakhstan’, ‘The State programme on education and science development for 2016–2020’ allowed our native language to develop and prosper. Nowadays, special attention is paid to the problem of teaching the Kazakh language. In today's organised pedagogical environment, it is not fully examined the need for the development of communication skills of elementary school students and scientifically-based and practical communication to solve this problem via audio and graphic tools. Therefore, this article focuses on the need to teach elementary school students to work with audio and graphic materials and technology issues on the use of practical materials. Provided that the theoretical foundations for the development of communication skills of elementary school students through audio-visual aids hold true, the structural-substantial model will allow the development of each student’s individual abilities and creativity. Taking into account the foregoing, we have set up a positive outline of the effectiveness of the work with audio equipment through the organisation of practical work, practice-assemblage, research, diagnostics, practical work in elementary school teachers through specially organised thematic seminars

Purpose Working with students with emotional behavioral disorders is a challenging area of speech-language pathology practice. In this study, we compare and profile the narrative discourse, structural language, and social communication characteristics of adolescents attending behavioral support and mainstream schools. We also examine relationships between narratives, structural language, social communication, and behavior. Method Fifty-four students aged between 12 and 16 years participated. Twenty-seven students were from 3 Australian government Schools for Specific Purposes for students with behavioral difficulties, and 27 typically developing students were from a mainstream, government school. Students were matched for age and closely matched for sex and socioeconomic status. All students completed 3 communication assessments: oral narrative, structural language, and social communication skills. Teachers were asked to complete 2 behavioral questionnaires. Results Students in behavioral schools had significant difficulties generating narratives. Their structural language and overall social communication skills were also significantly poorer than their mainstream peers. One third of the behavioral group experienced significant difficulties across all 3 of these communication areas. Externalizing behavior was significantly related to narrative, structural language, and social communication only when the data were pooled across both groups. Conclusions Language and social communication difficulties were evident in adolescents who attend alternative school settings—behavioral schools. These findings confirm the need for speech-language pathologists to be engaged in specialist behavioral schools and provide impetus to service providers, speech-language pathologists, and educators to address relationships between behavior and communication ability.

Elementary school students' mathematical communication is still low, this can be seen from the inability of students to apply the knowledge they have acquired at school to solve problems in real life. The TIMSS report states that the ability of Indonesian students in mathematics communication is far below that of other countries. For example, for math problems involving mathematical communication skills, only 5% of Indonesian students were successful and far below countries such as Singapore, Korea and Taiwan, which reached more than 50%. This condition is probably influenced by the method of learning mathematics in elementary schools today, which mostly tends to emphasize the cultivation of procedural skills alone, is not contextual and does not equip students to be able to apply these concepts in solving math problems in life. Realistic Mathematic Education (RME) is an approach that has main characteristics, namely linking the mathematics content presented to the real life context, emphasizing the mathematical process, involving students' contributions in constructing conceptual understanding, interactive learning processes, and linking between concepts in mathematics. Students' mathematical communication that must be mastered by students involves oral and written communication. written communication skills are carried out with indicators, namely: the ability to express and illustrate mathematical ideas in the form of mathematical models, namely equations, notations, pictures and graphics, or vice versa. Based on its characteristics, RME has the potential to make a good contribution to communication development. Mathematical elementary school students. Abstrak Komunikasi matematis siswa SD masih rendah, hal ini tampak dari kekurangmampuan siswa dalam  menerapkan pengetahuan yang diperolehnya di sekolah untuk menyelesaikan masalah dalam kehidupan nyata. Laporan TIMSS menyebutkan bahwa kemampuan siswa Indonesia dalam komunikasi matematika sangat jauh di bawah Negara-negara lain. Sebagai contoh, untuk permasalahan matematika yang menyangkut kemampuan komunikasi matematis, siswa Indonesia yang berhasil benar hanya 5% dan jauh di bawah Negara seperti Singapura, Korea, dan Taiwan yang mencapai lebih dari 50%. Kondisi tersebut kemungkinan dipengaruhi oleh metode pembelajaran matematika di sekolah dasar  dewasa ini yang sebagian besar cenderung menekankan pada penanaman keterampilan prosedural semata, tidak kontekstual serta kurang membekali siswa  untuk mampu menerapkan konsep tersebut dalam menyelesaikan masalah matematika dalam kehidupan. Realistic Mathematic Education (RME) merupakan pendekatan yang memiliki karakteristik utama yaitu mengaitkan konten matematika yang disampaikan  dengan konteks kehidupan nyata, menekankan pada proses matematisasi, melibatkan kontribusi siswa dalam mengkonstruksi pemahaman konsep, proses pembelajaran interaktif, serta mengaitkan antar konsep dalam matematika. Komunikasi matematis siswa yang harus dikuasai siswa melibatkan komunikasi lisan dan tertulis. kemampuan komunikasi secara tertulis dilakukan dengan indikator-indikator yaitu: kemam puan menyatakan dan mengilustrasikan ide matematika ke dalam bentuk model matematika yaitu bentuk persamaan, notasi, gambar dan grafik, atau sebaliknya  Berdasarkan karakteristik yang dimilikinya, RME sangat berpotensi memberikan kontribusi yang baik bagi pengembangan komunikasi matematis siswa sekolah dasar.
