Developing communication skills is one of the main rehabilitation aims in special school (Królowa & Malendowicz, 1976). Educational situations require constant communication with teachers and peers from students (Głodkowska, 2012). Studying students’ verbal communication provides information on how well they have mastered inflection, if they structure their sentences correctly, their passive and active vocabulary, and their listening comprehension. Also, assessing their communication skills gives insight into students’ need for verbal communication as well as into the form and complexity of their utterances. The study discussed presents the level of verbal communication in students with mild intellectual disabilities at an early elementary school age. Thanks to this exploration, it is possible to develop practical solutions to improve the communication skills of the group under study. The Speech and Verbal Communication Development Test by Joanna Głodkowska (ibid.) was used in the study. Sixty-three students with mild intellectual disabilities participated in the study. It was conducted in seven special schools in Małopolskie Province. Three criteria were adopted for dividing students into groups: age, gender, and place of residence. Participants were 35 boys and 28 girls. They were divided into two subgroups in terms of their place of residence: those living in a town (31 students) and those living in the country (32 students). The results of the study were analyzed with the use of the easiness coefficient developed by Joanna Głodkowska (1999). This article aims to provide practical guidance on how to work with students with mild intellectual disabilities so that their need for verbal communication and verbal communication skills are developing. The final part presents the findings and recommendations for educational practice.

This study investigated the effect of birth order and sex on goal setting and actual performance by boys and girls of elementary school age on a ring-toss task. Children were asked to give a verbal estimate of the number of successful trials out of 10 they expected to complete. Data were analyzed by 2 (sex) × 2 (birth order) analyses of variance. Results indicated that firstborn boys set higher goals and performed significantly better than later-born boys, firstborn girls or later-born girls.

Light-eyed individuals generally perform better at self-paced activities while dark-eyed individuals perform better at reactive activities. In throwing a ball at a target there were no differences between light- and dark-eyed elementary school-age children. Boys hit the target more times than did girls, and older children in upper grades hit the target more often than did younger children in lower grades.

To assess the relation of social position to speaking competence and to determine the stuttering child’s awareness of peer evaluation, ratings of social position and speaking competence were obtained from 24 stuttering boys (12 mild and 12 moderate or severe) in each the third and sixth grade and from 562 of their normally fluent male classmates. Peer ratings, self-estimates of ratings, and reasons for certain ratings also were obtained. No significant differences between groups of stuttering boys were found. Upon comparison with fluent boys, stuttering boys both expected to be and were rated significantly poorer as speakers than were the normally fluent. No significant differences were found, however, between stuttering and fluent boys on social position measures, suggesting that whether or not an elementary-school-age boy stuttered was of minor importance in determining his social role among his peers.
