Brief Screening

Marcel Kinsbourne's paper (Pediatrics, 52:697, 1973) is timely and practical. Unfortunately, however, the volume of children with school problems approaches the unmanageable, and we need reliable and effective ways of screening which will enable us to give appropriate professional attention to the "problems". In 1969 we began to develop an instrument that would select school children having distinct neurologic handicaps from a large group experiencing learning problems. Our brief screening can be administered in approximately 20 minutes by medical or nonmedical professional qualified personnel.

Cerebral Dysfunction

I accept your invitation to comment on the letter of Dr. Ralph Olsen on "Pediatric Practice: "Whose Mood Are We Altering?" in Pediatrics1 and the responses of Dr. Turner2 and Dr. Arnold3 in Pediatrics. Certainly, in any large group of school children, one can find a significant number of children, mostly boys, who are extremely active and who have all the associated findings of the "hyperkinetic syndrome" or the "minimal cerebral dysfunction syndrome"-the short attention span, the poor capacity to concentrate, the poorly controlled impulsivity, and so forth.

General Data

Kenny et al. are wrong in their assertion that because the medical evaluations of 92 children with an assortment of problems affecting their ability to learn in school showed no consistent pattern, medical evaluation has little to offer such youngsters. Denhoff et al. have shown medical evaluation can be very helpful. Lumping all children with school problems together and looking for common symptoms is indeed a fruitless exercise. Kenny et al. do not permit the reader access to the specific data on which they base their conclusions, nor do they even provide general data on the subgroups within the larger group of youngsters.

Childhood Population

I am in favor of Doctor Feeman's proposal for early detection of diabetes in the childhood population. Among other reasons, the rate of diabetes in the childhood population is unknown. Formerly in a house-to-house canvas the rate was believed to be one child in 2,400. A recent study of school children in Detroit showed that one child in 600 had been diagnosed as having diabetes. These statistics contain some errors as a few of these children were diagnosed as individuals with diabetes but were not requiring insulin therapy.

n the lecture of “problems of learning in elementary school” is one of the mandatory subjects for PGSD undergraduate students. This course expects students to (1) show their own performance, qualified and measurable to examine the implications of development or the implications of science, technology or art that elicits learning problems in elementary schools (SD/MI) which oriented on Active Creative Effective Fun ICT-based learning (PAKEM BATIK). (2) Master the rules and scientific ethics agree with the method of science to determine the problems of the learning system in SD/MI which oriented on PAKEM BATIK. This research purpose to describe styles and learning result formation of PGSD students. The method used descriptive qualitative. The result, there are 6 styles and learning result formation of PGSD student based on the gradation of learning skill with meaning related to observing, asking, trying, reasoning, giving, and creating.Keywords: problems, learning in elementary school, performance, qualified, and measurable

Specific Learning

Dr. Wender adapts the disease approach to school problems. The trouble with this is that one might omit first to ask whether the child is hungry, sad or poorly taught. It makes little sense to speak of specific learning disability (SLD) with deprived children. Our very tests for SLD are meaningless for them. As to whether SLD children constitute a segment of the normal distribution of abilities, we don't know, and, for predictive purposes it does not matter.

Cerebellar Stimulation

Introduction. The paper discusses new approaches to timely providing correctional assistance to primary school children with mental retardation. One of the techniques of adaptive physical education for primary school children with mental retardation is vestibular gymnastics, which cannot be attributed only to medical or purely pedagogical methods. To date, there has been no sufficient knowledge about how to use vestibular gymnastics in adaptive physical education of primary school children with mental retardation. However, there is proof that the effective functioning of the vestibular system enhances the efficiency of the brain and reduces behavior and learning problems. Materials and Methods. We propose exercises aimed at stimulating the cerebellum by using the balancing sets of exercises as one of the groups of techniques of our methodology. The assessment of the vestibular stability, which characterizes the effectiveness of the vestibular gymnastics technique, was based on the method of computer posturography. Results. At the end of the experiment, the average values of the statokinesiogram indices of younger school children with mental retardation were close to the lower limit of the indices for normal typical children. Conclusion. The findings indicate the effectiveness of using cerebellar stimulation techniques to optimize the physical fitness and functional status of younger school children with mental retardation.
