Article Abstract
Objective: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder in elementary school children. The present study investigated the characteristics of ADHD in Korean elementary school children using the Korean version of the ADHD Rating Scale (K-ARS). The data was compared with those obtained from a comparable American population.
Methods: Participants included 29,914 elementary school children, aged 6-12 years, from a medium-sized city. The parents completed the home version of the K-ARS. The total and subscale-specific normative data and sex- and age-related mean score differences were analyzed. These data were compared with those obtained from the American population using independent t-tests.
Results: Mean total and subscale K-ARS scores were significantly higher among boys (vs. girls) and younger children aged equal to or less than 8 years old (vs. older children). Mean scores on the hyperactivity-impulsivity subscale were lower than those of American children, but similar to another Korean sample.
Conclusion: Our data characterized ADHD symptoms in Korean children. However, further studies are needed to identify the cultural differences underlying ratings of ADHD symptom severity.

Mobile Training for Peers to Support Students With Multiple Disabilities and Cortical Visual Impairment in Communicating Choices.

Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park.
Purpose: The current study investigated the impact of a short mobile training implemented in peer pairs to teach the Communicating Choices-CVI (Peers) strategy to support interactions with students with multiple disabilities.
Method: A pretest-posttest control group design was used to evaluate the effects of the training created on the INSTRUCT app, which used a checklist of steps with video models to teach elementary-age peers a strategy to structure opportunities for students with multiple disabilities to communicate choices. Peers were randomly assigned to the experimental group ( = 10) or control group ( = 10) and then video-recorded while interacting with students with multiple disabilities during one pretest and one posttest interaction in their typical educational settings.
The role of domain-specific working memory and emotion regulation in the mathematics anxiety-performance relation among upper elementary students.

This study examined the role of domain-specific working memory and emotion regulation in the relation between mathematics anxiety and mathematics performance among 264 upper elementary students (Grades 3-5). Participants completed measures of mathematics testing and learning anxiety, verbal and numerical working memory, cognitive reappraisal, expressive suppression, general anxiety, mathematics self-efficacy, and calculation. Results showed that verbal working memory, but not numerical working memory, mediated the relation between mathematics testing anxiety and calculation.

Objectives: School-based hearing screening serves as a critical resource for children in rural areas to be screened and connected to hearing healthcare. Telemedicine interventions in schools have shown promise in connecting children to providers; however, there is limited research on systematic adaptation and deployment of telemedicine in rural schools. Obtaining community perspectives and preferences on school-based telemedicine hearing evaluation is essential to ensure such interventions are deployable in a rural context.

Purpose: Mouth breathing is an associated or characteristic feature of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), not a direct cause. This study aims to investigate whether mouth-breathing children in Indonesia have a higher risk of SDB, as assessed by the Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire (PSQ) questionnaire.
Patients And Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in three public elementary schools in Bandung (SDN 001 Merdeka, SDN 062 Ciujung, and SDN 054 Tikukur), involving 343 children aged 8-9 years (193 boys, 150 girls).
