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.

AbstractBrain Gym to maximalise the potensial of the young children in Himpaudi Kecamatan Tembalang is a kind of workshop given to the teachers in order to implement Brain Gym so as to overcome the learning problems of the young children. The materials that are given to the teachers are about how to understand about the concept of Brain Gym, the theories of Brain Gym, the practice of the Brain Gym that is able to give great contribution to overcome the students?óÔé¼Ôäó learning problems. The movement of Brain Gym consists of 26 movements. Brain Gym covers three areas of brain dimention, those are literary, focus, and centralisation. The first part of brain dimention is related to the dimension of left and right brain that has relation with the ability of communication. The second part of brain dimension is related to front and back dimension of the brain that relate to the stem of the brain and it has correlation with the ability of concentration, understanding and interpretation. The last dimension of brain is related to centralisation that has relation with up and down part of the middle part of the brain. It relates to the capability of arranging and organizing something. With the implementation of IbM Brain Gym, it is hoped that the teachers in Himpaudi Kecamatan Tembalang Semarang are proactive enough to implement this kind of gym so as to anticipate and to overcome the learning problems of the students.Key Words: Brain-Gym, Three Dimension of Brain, Literary, Focus, CentralisationAbstrakIpteks yang akan ditransfer kepada HIMPAUDI Kecamatan Tembalang Semarang adalah pelatihan konsep dasar dan teori Brain-Gym. Pelatihan Brain-Gym sangat besar manfaatnya untuk mengatasi problem belajar anak. Senam otak ini terdiri dari 26 gerakan. Brain-Gym atau senam otak meliputi tiga dimensi otak yang utama yaitu lateralitas, fokus, dan pemusatan. Dimensi otak yang pertama yaitu lateralitas terkait dengan dimensi otak kiri dan kanan yang berhubungan dengan kemampuan komunikasi. Dimensi otak yang kedua adalah fokus, terkait dimensi muka-belakang dengan melibatkan batang otak yang berhubungan dengan kemampuan konsentrasi, mengerti, dan memahami. Dimensi otak yang terakhir adalah pemusatan, terkait dimensi atas-bawah dengan melibatkan otak tengah yang berhubungan dengan kemampuan mengatur dan mengorganisasikan sesuatu. Melalui Brain-Gym untuk guru Himpaudi Kecamatan Tembalang, diharapkan para guru dapat menerapkan senam otak ini sebagai bagian dari program kegiatan sekolah yang harus dilaksanakan pada tiap minggunya sebagai bagian dari pelajaran olah raga, sehingga manfaatnya tidak hanya untuk kebugaran siswa tetapi secara tidak langsung juga memberikan manfaat untuk mengatasi problem belajar anak.Kata Kunci: Brain-Gym, Tiga Dimensi Otak, Lateralitas, Fokus, Pemusatan

Lexical Concepts

Lexical comprehension skills were examined in 20 young children (aged 28–45 months) with developmental delays (DD) and 20 children (aged 19–34 months) with normal development (ND). Each was assigned to either a story-like script condition or a simple ostensive labeling condition in which the names of three novel object and action items were presented over two experimental sessions. During the experimental sessions, receptive knowledge of the lexical items was assessed through a series of target and generalization probes. Results indicated that all children, irrespective of group status, acquired more lexical concepts in the ostensive labeling condition than in the story narrative condition. Overall, both groups acquired more object than action words, although subjects with ND comprehended more action words than subjects with DD. More target than generalization items were also comprehended by both groups. It is concluded that young children’s comprehension of new lexical concepts is facilitated more by a context in which simple ostensive labels accompany the presentation of specific objects and actions than one in which objects and actions are surrounded by thematic and event-related information. Various clinical applications focusing on the lexical training of young children with DD are discussed.

Lexical Skills

The focus of assessment and intervention is often aimed at increasing the lexical skills of young children with language impairment. Frequently, the use of nouns is the center of the lexical assessment. As a result, the production of verbs is not fully evaluated or integrated into treatment in a way that accounts for their semantic and syntactic complexity. This paper presents a probe for eliciting verbs from children, describes its effectiveness, and discusses the utility of and problems associated with developing such a probe.

Session Analysis

This study investigated whether young children with specific expressive language impairment (SELI) learn to combine words according to general positional rules or specific, grammatic relation rules. The language of 20 children with SELI (4 females, 16 males, mean age of 33 months, mean MLU of 1.34) was sampled weekly for 9 weeks. Sixteen of these children also received treatment for two-word combinations (agent+action or possessor+possession). Two different metrics were used to determine the productivity of combinatorial utterances. One metric assessed productivity based on positional consistency alone; another assessed productivity based on positional and semantic consistency. Data were analyzed session-by-session as well as cumulatively. The results suggest that these children learned to combine words according to grammatic relation rules. Results of the session-by-session analysis were less informative than those of the cumulative analysis. For children with SELI ready to make the transition to multiword utterances, these findings support a cumulative method of data collection and a treatment approach that targets specific grammatic relation rules rather than general word combinations.
