To assess the effects of a program of physical activities consistent with the Doman-Delacato theory of neurological organization on the physical and intellectual development of trainable mentally retarded children, pretest and posttest data were collected from a Doman-Delacato experimental group and a nonspecific activity control group. In motor development, no significant pretest, posttest intergroup differences were found. Comparisons on mobility (creeping and crawling) and IQ (PPVT) yielded statistically significant gains in favor of the experimental group. The findings suggest the Doman-Delacato techniques may be beneficial with trainables in public schools.

In this study the problem was that the implementation of Penjasorkes learning was not maximum in SLB N 2 Padang. The implementation of Penjasorkes learning had not been success caused by a teaching strategy that was not appropriate with the condition such as the use of learning media that had not been able to provide physical education effectively and efficiently to students. So that it made the students were less creative and less motivated in doing physical activities, especially athletic material and the basic movements of running, throwing and jumping which were presented in the form of game. This research included development research that aimed to produce athletic learning media through playing with basic movements of running, jumping, and throwing for mentally retarded students at SLB N 2 Padang. Finally, this research was expected to contribute and be useful for the development of science especially in the field of physical education, sports and health. It could be concluded that there was a significant effect of the development of learning media on the basic athletic abilities of students in SLB N 2 Padang with an increase 3.49 in the average score, from the average score of pre test 50 and the post test 53.49.

This article describes methods of language programming for profoundly mentally retarded children that are based on linguistic principles. Examples of program contents are drawn from research reports and include cuing procedures, as well as progress from receptive through imitative behaviors, labeling responses, and grammatical sequencing.

Twelve trainable mentally retarded children were given six weeks of instruction in the use of adjectives, polars, and locative prepositions. Specially prepared Language Master cards constituted the program. Posttests indicated that children in the older chronological age group earned significantly higher scores than those in the younger group. Children in the younger group made significant increases in scores, particularly in learning prepositions. A multisensory approach and active involvement in learning appeared to be major factors in achievement gains.

It has been our experience in using the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test that an inordinate number of verbs are missed by mentally retarded individuals. This study attempts to determine whether verb errors were due to a lack of word comprehension or a failure to understand what was being requested by the morphological-syntactic form of the stimulus. Twenty-eight subjects residing in a state facility for the mentally retarded were given a standard version and a modified version of the PPVT. On the modified version of the test, the stimulus "verbing" was altered to incorporate a syntactic helper, forming the stimulus "somebody verbing." As a result, there was a mean reduction of verb error by almost 50%.

Educable and trainable mentally retarded children were administered a story completion task that elicits 14 grammatical structures. There were more correct responses from educable than from trainable mentally retarded children. Both groups found imperatives easiest, and future, embedded, and double-adjectival structures most difficult. The children classed as educable produced more correct responses than those termed trainable for declarative, question, and single-adjectival structures. The cognitive and linguistic processing of both groups is discussed as are the implications for language remediation.

Fifty trainable mentally retarded children were evaluated with TONAR II, a bioelectronic instrument for detecting and quantitatively measuring voice parameters. Results indicated that one-half of the children tested were hypernasal. The strikingly high prevalence of excessive nasality was contrasted with results obtained from 64 nonretarded children and 50 educable retarded children tested with the same instrument. The study demonstrated the need of retarded persons for improved voice and resonance.
