Crossing Test

Pedestrian injuries remain the most common cause of death from trauma for young school-age children. This study was based on the hypothesis that parents' abilities to accurately assess their children's street-crossing skills vary with the crossing test and age of the children, being less accurate for younger children. Children at three developmental levels (aged 5 through 6, 7 through 8, and 9 through 10 years) and their parents were evaluated on four street-crossing tests and a control vocabulary test. For each test, children's answers were compared to parents' estimates of their children's performance. Parents overestimated the abilities of their 5- through 6-year-olds on all four tests (P < .01). Parents overestimated the abilities of 7- through 8-year-olds on two of the tests (P < .05) and parents accurately assessed the abilities of the 9- through 10-year-olds. On the vocabulary test, parents overestimated their children's performance at all age levels (P < .01). The results support the hypothesis and indicate that parents' expectations for their children's pedestrian skills are least accurate for 5- and 6-year-olds, with the mismatch decreasing as children get older. Inaccurate expectations of children's pedestrian skills may be a fruitful target for injury prevention programs.

Hasil survei oleh WHO pada 8 Provinsi di Indonesia tahun 2003 didapatkan angka cidera pada anak usia sekolah sebesar 28,27%. Hasil ini berimplikasi terhadap tingginya angka kematian pada anak usia sekolah di Indonesia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh bimbingan tentang resiko cidera terhadap perilaku pencegahan cidera di SD Bibis Kasihan Bantul Yogyakarta. Metode penelitian menggunakan kuasi eksperimental dengan rancangan one group pre test post test design. Subyek penelitian adalah pelajar SD Bibis yang pernah mengalami cidera berjumlah 50 sampel, 25 orang kelompok kontrol dan 25 orang kelompok perlakuan. Instrumen yang digunakan yaitu kuesioner dan cek list observasi. Uji statistik menggunakan SPSS dengan tingkat kemaknaan p < 0,05. Hasil analisis data menggunakan uji z test, perilaku pencegahan cidera anak usia sekolah pada kelompok perlakuan terlihat adanya peningkatan prosentase dari hasil pre test dan post test, yaitu 36% perilaku pencegahan cidera yang baik pada pelajar SD Bibis, dengan nilai p = 0,003 yang berarti terdapat perbedaan perilaku pencegahan cidera antara sebelum dan setelah diberikan perlakuan. Pada kelompok kontrol terjadi peningkatan 8% perilaku pencegahan cidera yang baik pada pelajar SD Bibis, dengan nilai p = 0,157 yang berarti tidak terdapat perbedaan perilaku pencegahan cidera antara nilai pre test dan post test pada kelompok kontrol. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa bimbingan tentang resiko cidera berpengaruh terhadap perilaku pencegahan cidera anak usia sekolah (p = 0,000). Sehingga perlu dilakukan kerja sama dengan berbagai intansi terkait (dinas kesehatan, dinas pendidikan dan dinas perhubungan) untuk implementasi kebijakan pencegahan cidera pada anak usia sekolah.Kata kunci: guidance, cidera, perilaku, anak usia sekolahABSTRACTThe largest cause of injuries in school age children in developing countries such as Indonesia is an accident on the highway. The results of the WHO survey conducted in 8 Provinces in Indonesia in 2003 found the number injured at school age children for 28,27%. These results may have implications for the high mortality in school age children in Indonesia. This study aims to determine the effect of giving guidance about the risk of injury prevention behavior in elementary Bibis Kasihan Bantul Yogyakarta. Research method used is quasy experimental design one group pre test post test design. Research subjects were elementary school students who have experienced Bibis injuries with totaling 50 samples, 25 of the control group and intervention group of 25 peoples.

Improve Service Delivery

Educational audiologists often must delegate certain tasks to other educational personnel who function as support personnel and need training in order to perform assigned tasks. Support personnel are people who, after appropriate training, perform tasks that are prescribed, directed, and supervised by a professional such as a certified and licensed audiologist. The training of support personnel to perform tasks that are typically performed by those in other disciplines is calledmultiskilling. This article discusses multiskilling and the use of support personnel in educational audiology in reference to the following principles: guidelines, models of multiskilling, components of successful multiskilling, and "dos and don’ts" for multiskilling. These principles are illustrated through the use of multiskilling in the establishment of a hearing aid monitoring program. Successful multiskilling and the use of support personnel by educational audiologists can improve service delivery to school-age children with hearing loss.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to assess the perceptions of stuttering of school-age children who stutter and those of adults who stutter through the use of the same tools that could be commonly used by clinicians. Method Twenty-three participants across various ages and stuttering severity were administered both the Stuttering Severity Instrument–Fourth Edition (SSI-4; Riley, 2009 ) and the Wright & Ayre Stuttering Self-Rating Profile ( Wright & Ayre, 2000 ). Comparisons were made between severity of behavioral measures of stuttering made by the SSI-4 and by age (child/adult). Results Significant differences were obtained for the age comparison but not for the severity comparison. Results are explained in terms of the correlation between severity equivalents of the SSI-4 and the Wright & Ayre Stuttering Self-Rating Profile scores, with clinical implications justifying multi-aspect assessment. Conclusions Clinical implications indicate that self-perception and impact of stuttering must not be assumed and should be evaluated for individual participants. Research implications include further study with a larger subject pool and various levels of stuttering severity.

Purpose The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently released guidelines for rehabilitation professionals regarding the care of children with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Given that mTBI impacts millions of children each year and can be particularly detrimental to children in middle and high school age groups, access to universal recommendations for management of postinjury symptoms is ideal. Method This viewpoint article examines the CDC guidelines and applies these recommendations directly to speech-language pathology practices. In particular, education, assessment, treatment, team management, and ongoing monitoring are discussed. In addition, suggested timelines regarding implementation of services by speech-language pathologists (SLPs) are provided. Specific focus is placed on adolescents (i.e., middle and high school–age children). Results SLPs are critical members of the rehabilitation team working with children with mTBI and should be involved in education, symptom monitoring, and assessment early in the recovery process. SLPs can also provide unique insight into the cognitive and linguistic challenges of these students and can serve to bridge the gap among rehabilitation and school-based professionals, the adolescent with brain injury, and their parents. Conclusion The guidelines provided by the CDC, along with evidence from the field of speech pathology, can guide SLPs to advocate for involvement in the care of adolescents with mTBI. More research is needed to enhance the evidence base for direct assessment and treatment with this population; however, SLPs can use their extensive knowledge and experience working with individuals with traumatic brain injury as a starting point for post-mTBI care.

Purpose The goal of this clinical focus article is to illustrate how speech-language pathologists can document the functional language of school-age children using language sample analysis (LSA). Advances in computer hardware and software are detailed making LSA more accessible for clinical use. Method This clinical focus article illustrates how documenting school-age student's communicative functioning is central to comprehensive assessment and how using LSA can meet multiple needs within this assessment. LSA can document students' meaningful participation in their daily life through assessment of their language used during everyday tasks. The many advances in computerized LSA are detailed with a primary focus on the Systematic Analysis of Language Transcripts (Miller & Iglesias, 2019). The LSA process is reviewed detailing the steps necessary for computers to calculate word, morpheme, utterance, and discourse features of functional language. Conclusion These advances in computer technology and software development have made LSA clinically feasible through standardized elicitation and transcription methods that improve accuracy and repeatability. In addition to improved accuracy, validity, and reliability of LSA, databases of typical speakers to document status and automated report writing more than justify the time required. Software now provides many innovations that make LSA simpler and more accessible for clinical use. Supplemental Material https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.12456719

Abstract Purpose: In this article, we describe the existing literacy research with school-age children who are indigenous. The lack of data for this group of children requires speech-language pathologists (SLPs) to use expert opinion from indigenous and non-indigenous people to develop culturally sensitive methods for fostering literacy skills. Method: We describe two available curricula developed by indigenous people that are available, which use authentic materials and embed indigenous stories into the learning environment: The Indian Reading Series and the Northwest Native American Reading Curriculum. We also discuss the importance of using cooperative learning, multisensory instruction, and increased holistic emphasis to create a more culturally sensitive implementation of services. We provide an example of a literacy-based language facilitation that was developed for an indigenous tribe in Kansas. Conclusion: SLPs can provide services to indigenous children that foster literacy skills through storytelling using authentic materials as well as activities and methods that are consistent with the client's values and beliefs.
