Desempenho de crianças com deficiência auditiva e implante coclear em tarefas de seleção de e de nomeação de figuras

The aim of this study was to investigate the development of specific domains of Numerical Cognition (Number Sense – NS, Number Comprehension – NC, Number Production – NP, and Calculation – CA) in Brazilian children with Specific Learning Disorders. The study included 72 children (36 boys), from 9-to 10-years-old, enrolled in 4th and 5th years of elementary school of public schools at countryside of Sao Paulo State, Brazil. They were divided into three groups: control (CT, N = 42), Developmental Dyslexia (DL, N = 11) and Developmental Dyscalculia combined with dyslexia (DDc, N = 19). All participants had intellectual level within the normal range, however, children from the last two groups had Learning Disorders classified by School Achievement Test - TDE (Stein, 1994) and DDc children received necessarily classification as 'inferior' in Arithmetic Test of TDE. The children did not differ in NS. DL and DDc children showed slight deficits in NC. However, DDc children had moderate in NP and mild to moderate deficits in CA, which indicates a more generalized impairment in Numerical Cognition. Furthermore, DDc children showed discrepancy in Numerical Cognition performance when compared to the other groups. Thus, children with Learning Disorders showed different performances in Numerical Cognition, although both groups had preserved SN, DDc children showed higher deficits and discrepancy in relation DL and typically developing children.

A natação e o processo de inclusão das pessoas com deficiência nas academias de Bauru

The swimming is one of the most suitable activities for the stimulation of People with Desabilitie (PWD), we want it isfor the freedom of corporal action for those that possess motive limitation, as well as, for the discovery need, corporal adaptation inthe aquatic way. This way, in the academies that develop this activity it is waited we find PWD inserted in the classes. The objective ofthis study was to verify the inclusion process it is happening in the academies of swimming of the city of Bauru-SP. A field research wasdeveloped, of qualitative character and of exploratory stamp, where they were contacted the academies that taught swimming initially andthose that they were disposed to participate in the research, in a total of 10 academies. We verified that, of a total of 3105 people enrolledin the swimming classes in the academies 19 they were only PWD, in other words, 0,61%. Although the inclusion process is found in theswimming academies, this is very limited.

Aprendizagem após via exclusão e formação de classes de equivalência em crianças com deficiência auditiva e implante coclear (aceito condicionalmente)

Studies on learning by exclusion have shown that participants tend to select a new object or a new figure when a new word is dictated, rejecting the objects and figures they already know or that were associated with other words. This study aimed at training conditional relations between dictated word-picture and between picture-printed word, by exclusion, and verify whether this training would be a condition for the emergence of relations between dictated word-printed word, printed word-figure, picture naming and reading. We also investigated whether responding to the words dictated with a female voice generalized to other frequencies such as male and child voices. Participants were five children between five and nine years old, with acute neurosensorial bilateral hearing impairment, users of cochlear implant Nucleus 24k®. They were exposed, individually, to tasks that consisted in selecting a comparison stimulus (either picture or printed word) related to the sample (either dictated word or picture). Words with lowest scores on a pre-test were used. The relations between dictated word-figure (AB) and figure-printed word (BC) were taught by exclusion. We assessed the emergence of the relations between dictated and printed words (AC), printed word and picture (CB), male and child voices generalization (A’C and A’’C), naming (BD) and reading (CD). All the children responded by exclusion and learned relations AB and BC, showing receptive vocabulary; AC and CB relations also were learned, consistent with class formation. Responding generalized to male and child voices, but data on naming were not systematic. Learning by exclusion was similar to that of children with typical hearing and these results describe some conditions that can improve receptive verbal repertoire.

Ecóico e nomeação de figuras em crianças com deficiência auditiva pré-lingual com implante coclear

The aim of this work was to verify the effect of teaching the echoic behavior over the pictures naming in four children between eight and nine years old with prelingual hearing impaired, users of cochlear implants. The design adopted was: (a) pre-training that taught the matching-to-sample task; (b) pre-tests that selected three words to teach; (c) teaching of auditory-visual conditional relations; (d) naming pos-test; (e) the teaching of echoic with orofacial clues and, (f) the second naming pos-test. In the pre-test all participants achieved smaller percentage of correct on naming (60%-80%) and echoic (20%-50%) when compared to percentages word recognition (86%-93%). All participants learned the auditory-visual relations. The improvement on naming test occurred after auditory training select based for two participants; for other two participants the improvement on naming test occurred just after the training of echoic. Analysis of data showed that the listening and speaking performances are independent in their establishment and require specific conditions of teaching; in the case of this study, even though the result is not generalized to all participants, the highest correspondence into point to point naming was obtained following the teaching of echoic.

Importância da avaliação do desempenho aquático das pessoas com deficiência inseridas em aulas de natação para iniciação do treinamento paralímpico

Este trabalho aborda a natação para a pessoa com deficiência (PCD), tendo como objetivo verificar o nível de desempenho aquático de participantes do projeto de ensino de natação adaptada. Destacamos o intuito de avaliar a perspectiva de início de um treinamento paralímpico em natação. Foram analisados 14 usuá- rios da Sorri-Bauru, vinculados a um programa de iniciação, quanto ao seu nível de desempenho na água. Verificamos que a grande maioria ainda encontra-se em fase inicial da aprendizagem dos estilos, onde a respiração e a autonomia no meio líquido ainda necessitam ser amplamente dominadas. Porém, a partir dos resultados é possível propor o início do processo de treinamento criando um vínculo entre a PCD e o professor/técnico e que sejam respeitadas as limitações e potencialidades dos participantes.

Educação Sexual para pessoas com Deficiência Física

People with disabilities are sexual and they need clarifying and sexual education. This article describes an intervention program in sexual education for people with disabilities that have objective by: a) transmit a broad notion and emancipatory of sexuality, b) clarify and inform about education and sexual repression, c) reflect about changes in body image of the person’s self-esteem with disability and implications in sexuality and d) discuss about the social belief that disability is an impediment to sexuality. The program was done in ten weekly meetings of two hours of duration and it is used of pedagogical resources such as group dynamics, videos and images. The young people participated actively, discussing and reflecting about social issues of sexuality. Concludes that the population stigmatized by disability lacks of clarifying and reflections about social construction of sexuality and of disability and that opportunities of group reflections on sexual education process for this population are fundamental in inclusive society.

Associação entre deficiências físicas e hospitalizações na população da cidade de São Paulo, Brasil

O objetivo foi verificar a associação entre presença de deficiências físicas e hospitalizações na cidade de São Paulo, Brasil. Foi realizado inquérito de saúde na cidade de São Paulo em 2008. Utilizou-se processo de amostragem probabilística, estratificada (sexo/idade) e por conglomerados em dois estágios (setores censitários e domicílios). Os dados foram coletados por entrevistas por meio de um questionário estruturado, com 21 blocos, com a maioria das questões fechadas. A análise inferencial foi realizada com o uso de razões de prevalência (RP) bruta e ajustada e intervalo de 95% de confiança (IC95%) pelo método de regressão de Poisson. O módulo survey do programa Stata 9.2 foi usado para as análises, com significância de 5%. Foram entrevistadas 2.690 pessoas, com idade média de 38,75 anos (IC95%: 37,54-39,96). A hospitalização foi associada à deficiência (auditiva, RP = 1,59; física, RP = 3,77; múltipla, RP = 3,26). As pessoas com deficiência (auditiva, física - paralisia/amputação e múltipla) relataram internações com mais frequência que aquelas sem deficiência.

O ensino da matemática aos deficientes auditivos

The theme of this research is mathematics education for the deaf. It is hoped that this work will enable more thorough understanding of the subject matter, since, to be inclusion of people with hearing disabilities in society is necessary to establish measures ranging acceptance and family participation to break prejudices and demystification related learning ability of these individuals. This research also aims to provide grants for teaching mathematics to deaf , so that the teacher can build a current pedagogical practice that will not only meet their expectations as a teacher , but above that encourages the development of skills essential to the competence of the student with special educational needs . An educational practice based in the communication and interaction between teacher and students, with the intention of providing an effective meaning of mathematical knowledge, you can add new possibilities in an educational context marked by scarcity of communicative opportunities

Deficiência visual, auditiva e física: prevalência e fatores associados em estudo de base populacional

O estudo descreve as prevalências de deficiências segundo características demográficas e sócio-econômicas, bem como as suas causas. A pesquisa utilizou dados de inquéritos de base populacional realizados em áreas do Estado de São Paulo, Brasil, em 2002 e 2003, com amostragem estratificada por conglomerados. Os entrevistados que referiram deficiências foram a população estudada segundo as variáveis que compõem o banco de dados. A prevalência de alguma deficiência foi de 110,8 ; deficiência visual, 62 ; deficiência auditiva, 44 e a deficiência física de 13,3 . As prevalências das deficiências variaram com a idade; sexo e escolaridade. A prevalência de deficiências auditiva e física foi maior entre os homens. A principal causa das deficiências foi a doença. As causas externas também foram umas das principais causadoras de incapacidades. As deficiências aumentaram com a idade, foram mais prevalentes em mulheres e em pessoas com menor escolaridade, sendo sua principal causa as doenças e as causas externas.
