Comparisons of the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test—Revised and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children—Revised were made with 104 children diagnosed as learning disabled and mentally retarded. Significant but modest correlations were found between all but one of the WISC—R scaled scores (i.e., Coding) and PPVT—R standard scores, and between WISC—R IQs and PPVT—R standard scores. Significant differences were found among mean Verbal, Performance, and Full Scale IQs and mean PPVT—R standard scores. The PPVT—R standard scores underestimated WISC—R Verbal IQs by 7 points, WISC—R Performance IQs by 17 points, and WISC—R Full Scale IQs by 11 points.

The use of robots as educational learning tools is quite extensive worldwide, yet it is rather limited in special education. In particular, the use of robots in the field of special education is under skepticism since robots are frequently believed to be expensive with limited capacity. The latter may change with the advent of social robots, which can be used in special education as affordable tools for delivering sophisticated stimuli to children with learning difficulties also due to preexisting conditions. Pilot studies occasionally demonstrate the effectiveness of social robots in specific domains. This chapter overviews the engagement of social robots in special education including the authors' preliminary work in this field; moreover, it discusses their proposal for potential future extensions involving more autonomous (i.e., intelligent) social robots as well as feedback from human brain signals.

This study focused on the relationship between the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children—Revised (WISC—R) and the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence (WPPSI) given to 40 6-yr.-old Iranian children. Pearson correlations between the WISC—R and the WPPSI IQs and between scaled scores on the corresponding subtests were significant. The comparison of mean IQs and scaled scores indicates that the WISC—R yielded a significantly higher Verbal IQ and higher scores on Information, Vocabulary, Comprehension, and Picture Completion than the WPPSI. The mean difference between corresponding Verbal and Full Scale IQs was not significant. These results suggest that scores on the two instruments correlated well for these 6-yr.-old Iranian children and the content on which IQs for the recently restandardized WISC—R and WPPSI are based are related.

Pendidikan merupakan hak semua warganegara, tak terkecuali bagi warganegara yang memiliki kelainan fisik, emosional, mental, intelektual dan/atau sosial, yang berhak memperoleh pendidikan khusus. Salah satu implementasinya adalah berupa kebijakan dari dinas pendidikan kabupaten/kota yang menyarankan sekolah reguler siap sedia memberikan program inklusi jika memiliki siswa Inklusi atau berkebutuhan khusus, salah satunya adalah siswa inklusi kesulitan belajar. Permasalahan yang sering dihadapi dalam penetapan siswa inklusi adalah saat menyelenggarakan proses belajar mengajar, kepala sekolah bersama dengan guru-guru harus memilih dan menetapkan peserta didik yang patut mendapakan pendidikan inklusi sesuai dengan kriteria yang telah ditetapkan. Saat ini penilaian dari setiap kriteria belum menggunakan suatu metode keputusan, sehingga penilaian antar peserta masih menggunakan prediksi atau perkiraan yang dapat menimbulkan penilaian bersifat subyektif. Dampak lebih lanjut dari permasalahan tersebut yaitu menimbulkan kurang tepatnya pemilihan siswa inklusi kesulitan. Dengan perkembangan teknologi informasi yang mencakup segala bidang, perlu dirancang sebuah sistem yang dapat membantu dalam penetapan siswa inklusi kesulitan belajar, agar  dapat membantu mempermudah pihak sekolah dalam menyeleksi dan menetapkan siswa inklusi kesulitan belajar, sehingga hasil yang diinginkan tepat sasaran dan sesuai dengan kriteria yang telah ditetapkan. Hal tersebut dapat terbantu dengan sistem pendukung keputusan penetapan siswa inklusi kesulitan belajar menggunakan metode Analitycal Hierarcy Process (AHP) yang mampu membantu memecahkan persoalan yang kompleks menjadi lebih sederhana dan mempercepat proses pengambilan keputusan. Abstract Education is the rightful authority of all citizens, not to the exception of citizens with physical, emotional, mental, intellectual and / or social impairments, who are entitled to special education. One of the implementation is in the form of policy from the district / municipality education office that recommends regular schools are ready to provide inclusion program if they have Inclusive or special needs students, one of them is student of learning inclusion difficulties. The problem often encountered in establishing inclusive students is when conducting the teaching and learning process, the principal along with the teachers should select and assign learners who deserve inclusion education in accordance with predetermined criteria. Where the assessment of each criterion has not yet used a decision method, so assessment among participants still uses predictions or estimates that may lead to subjective judgments. So as to elicit precisely the selection of student inclusion of learning difficulties. With the development of information technology covering all fields, it is necessary to design a system that can assist in determining student inclusion of learning difficulties, in order to help facilitate the school in selecting and establishing student inclusion of learning difficulties, so that the desired results on target and in accordance with the criteria that have been set.

Qur’an recitation is one of the components of Islamic Education for special education pupils with learning difficulties. The instruction of the Qur'an recitation for special education pupils is different when compared to average pupils. This paper discusses the Qur'an recitation learning scenario for special needs pupils with learning difficulties of moderate functional learning. Moreover, there are some challenges that teachers need to face in teaching Quran recitation to these pupils. However, the shortcomings of these pupils can be overcome through different learning compared to the natural ones. Therefore, pupils with learning problems will not be neglected in the study of the Qur'an.

For 50 children in special education from rural north central Kansas school districts (30 boys, 20 girls) were recorded SRA scores (Composite, Reading, Mathematics, and Education Quotient) and WISC—R IQs (Full Scale, Verbal, and Performance). There were no sex differences on any variable and all variables intercorrelated (Pearson) significantly. The two tests gave similar results over-all, confirming that the individually administered WISC—R and the group-administered SRA provide information on children's academic abilities and, used together, give a basis for appropriate judgments regarding academic abilities.

Abstract Background Children with Special Education Needs and Learning Difficulties are at risk of being excluded, or bullied because of their impairments. Within the bullying literature, two variables have been shown to be key in terms of its predictions: student–teacher relationship and students’ social status among peers. Objective The aim of this research was to assess the association between the student–teacher relationship and students’ social status in the peer group and bullying dimensions in children with SEN, LD, and typical development. Method A total of 320 children—55 with LD, 46 with SEN, and 219 in the control group – participated in the study, with a mean age of 11.04 (SD = 1.42), and 59.7% of whom were male. The model tested showed a good fit: χ2 (40) = 102.395, p < .001, CFI = .940, RMSEA = .070 [90% CI = .054, .088]. Results Main findings show that children with SEN and LD had more difficulties in social participation and might be at higher risk of being bullied, compared with their classmates. Conclusions This study offers evidence on bullying in children with SEN and LD and its association with both relationship with teacher and students’ social status. For teachers, results highlight peculiarities and possible problems of school inclusion of children with SEN and LD. For educational researchers, findings add knowledge on literature focused on bullying in children with difficulties.
