Abstract

Background: Communication needs in children with special needs (ABK) are absolute things to strive for as optimally as possible. One speech therapy approach in facilitating these needs is alternative & augmentative communication (AAC). The development of AAC offers great potential to improve the effectiveness of nonverbal CwSN (Children with Special Needs) communication. Based on surveys, AAC is most widely used for patients with non/minimal verbal such as ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorders) or other conditions. Objective: this study aims to develop a mobile application-based AAC media innovation called Comm-Screen. Method: research is carried out quantitatively with tiered surveys and literature studies to design a prototype of the Comm-Screen application. The Comm-Screen application can display symbols (images) and output audio (sounds) that have been adapted to the culture and speech therapy interventions in Indonesia. The Comm-Screen application is also designed based on appropriate interventions and has been studied in the speech therapy profession to treat communication disorders in nonverbal CwSN. Results: From 54 respondents, 97% of them realized the importance of application-based AAC media in Indonesia as one of the preferred methods for learning communication for nonverbal CwSN. 97.7% of respondents stated that the Comm-Screen application prototype is effectively used as a medium for nonverbal CwSN communication intervention in Indonesia. Conclusion: There is hope from speech therapy practitioners for the advancement of AAC media with the Comm-Screen application that can meet the criteria and objectives of speech therapy interventions in Indonesia. Improvements and development of Comm-Screen applications are still needed as the need for future interventions increases. Keywords: AAC, Communication, Nonverbal, Speech therapy

Abstract

Background: Rapid naming allows someone to speak language well and correctly in social interactions. Language problems often occur in children with special needs, especially children with autism spectrum disorders. Objectives: To determine the relationship between rapid naming and the pragmatic abilities of children with autism spectrum disorders aged 3-8 years at PLDPI Surakarta. Methods: Descriptive correlational research design with a sample size of 30 people using total sampling. Results: Rapid naming is related to children's pragmatic abilities, because to be able to interact socially well, children must first master vocabulary and rapid naming. When a child's vocabulary increases and their rapid naming ability increases, the child is able to form phrases, these phrases will develop into sentences and then a series of sentences will form a story. The faster the duration produced, the better the child's rapid naming ability. Conclusion: The ability to analyze clients with rapid naming problems in children with autism spectrum disorders is apparently still lacking. There needs to be strategic steps from professional associations to be more precise in analyzing and implementing rapid naming of children with autism spectrum disorders.

Abstract

Background: Reading ability in children aged 7-8 years is a critical foundation for academic and cognitive development. However, data indicates that 60% of Indonesian 2nd-grade students lack optimal reading fluency, facing challenges such as phonological difficulties, sentence structure comprehension, and limited literacy stimulation at home. Objectives: This study aims to analyze factors influencing reading ability in children aged 7-8 and identify effective remediation strategies. Methods: A systematic review was conducted, analyzing 5 selected articles from Google Scholar (2020–2025) using keywords related to reading fluency and school-age children. Results: Findings revealed that reading difficulties stem from internal (motivation, phonological awareness) and external factors (parental involvement, book access). Multisensory interventions, parental guidance, and balanced literacy methods significantly improved reading skills. Conclusion: Enhancing reading ability requires collaborative efforts among schools, families, and policies promoting inclusive literacy access. Keywords : School-age children, Reading ability, Reading fluency

Abstract

Abstract Background: In line with the increasing number of speech therapists, services for stroke patients with language disorders are increasingly fulfilled. On the other hand, the application of various therapeutic methods in aphasia cases is also varied but it is not so clear whether the selection of these methods also uses the principles of evidence-based practice (EBP). Objectives: This study aims to determine the perception of speech therapists regarding the use of EBP in the selection of therapy methods for aphasia patients. Methods: Descriptive quantitative research design with a sample size of 44 people using purposive sampling. Results: Most speech therapists believe systematic review will be able to provide the best efficacy and EBP helps in the process of determining goals and selecting interventions for aphasia patients. The higher the frequency of using EBP literature, the better the application to the therapy method. Conclusion: The use of EBP is still weak in the selection of aphasia methods by most speech therapists. There needs to be strategic steps from the professional association to further socialize EBP at the clinical level. Keywords: Perception, EBP, Therapy Method, Aphasia.

Speech therapists must be able to ensure the security, comfort and safety of their clients while receiving speech therapy services in their workplace consistently and avoid ethical problems.

Results: The application of ethics to the beneficence element was mostly moderate (67.4%). The application of ethics to the Nonmaleficence element was mostly moderate (65.2%). The application of ethics to the autonomy element was predominantly in the high category (71.7%). The application of ethics to the justice element was mostly in the moderate category (78.3%). This study also found that educational level influences the application of ethics in clinical settings with (p = 0.045). Meanwhile, the gender variable (p = 0.599) and the workplace variable (p = 0.426) so that both did not influence ethical services in clinical settings. Conclusion: There is still a need for systematic efforts from all speech therapy stakeholders to continue to socialize clinical services that apply ethical principles to avoid clinical problems related to ethical issues in the future.
