Abstract

This study aims to describe the results of the second-layer screening of students identified as having functional learning difficulties based on the PBS. The subjects were 59 students from grades 1–6 at SDN 1 Teros who were identified during the initial teacher-based screening. The research used a descriptive approach with data collection via a second-layer screening instrument focused on cognitive/intellectual functioning aspects. Data analysis was descriptive to illustrate the number and distribution of students at risk of cognitive difficulties. The results show that of the 59 students identified in the initial screening, 11 students were identified as being at risk for cognitive/intellectual difficulties after second-layer screening. These findings highlight the importance of multi-tiered screening in identifying students who may require further assessment due to potential cognitive difficulties in inclusive elementary schools.

Abstract

Students with dyslexia and students with intellectual disabilities often experience reading difficulties. Numerous studies have suggested that these difficulties are closely related to deficits in phonological awareness. However, comprehensive studies comparing the phonological profiles of both groups within the context of Indonesian orthography remain very limited. This study aimed to describe the phonological awareness abilities of dyslexic learners and students with mild intellectual disabilities in beginning reading activities. The study employed a descriptive comparative approach using a small-scale multiple case study design. The participants consisted of four participants with dyslexia from inclusive elementary schools in Bandung and four students with mild intellectual disabilities from special schools in Malang. Data were collected through phonological and beginning reading tests. Although that both groups experienced difficulties in manipulating speech sounds, particularly in blending phonemes, segmenting words into phonemes, and reading words with more complex patterns such as consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) structures. Among students with dyslexia, the difficulties were more apparent in word reading accuracy. By comparison, students with intellectual disabilities demonstrated broader challenges related to understanding instructions, attention, verbal memory, and language processing.
