Zaba, O.D. Journal of Behavioral Optometry Volume 7/1996/Number 2/Page 39 Abstract The New York State Optometric Association Vision Screening Battery (NYSOA) was administered to 81 at-risk elementary, middle school, and high school students in order to rule out vision difficulties as contributing to academic difficulties and/or as to various determinations of attention deficit disorder (ADD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), dyslexia or dyslexic, or oppositional-defiant behavior, etc. Thirty-three were classified as both academically and behaviorally at-risk. Ninety-seven percent of the students with behavioral problems failed at least one of the NYSOA subtests. A chi-square statistical analysis revealed that students who were academically at risk or behaviorally at risk scored significantly lower on the tracking, stereopsis, hyperopia, and color vision subtests. The results of this screening were also compared to several measures of academic achievement and subjective visual and academic assessment questionnaires.

Source: ERIC Clearinghouse on Urban Education New York NY. Making Schools More Responsive to At-Risk Students. ERIC/CUE Digest No. 60. Current approaches to educating at-risk students are the result of several shifts in thinking over the last 35 years. Now, a new way of defining at-risk students is needed for changes in school policy and practice to better meet these students' needs. DEFINING RISK Past Definitions. Earlier, risk was considered the result of only a single factor in a youth's life. Over time, policymakers and educators have identified different factors as the factor. Thirty years ago, the problems of school-aged children were attributed to cultural deprivation. As an antidote, children were provided with preschool compensatory enrichment that attempted to create a middle-class culture for them. Subsequently, educational deprivation was considered the primary cause of at-risk status. Resulting educational programs focused on K-12 education, and the lack of fit between poor, minority children and their schools.

Motivational Strategies for At-Risk Students Back to Motivation These strategies can be used with elementary, secondary, and post secondary at-risk learners. General Realizations About Remedial Programs Objectives Restructuring the school and early intervention programs are key factors for success in academic achievement While basic skills are essential, modification of basal textbooks can improve reading and thinking skills. Need a supportive relationship with a teacher and a sense of team spirit within a class. Few youth leave a remediation program impulsively; most leave only after a succession of frustration and failures. Efforts should be made by the classroom teacher to provide a positive learning environment. Be sensitive to the emotional needs of students and when possible, adapt program operations to enhance the students learning experiences and their self-esteem. Project Map: A Retention Program For At-Risk Students Project MAP Monitoring Academic Progress of Students Objective: Provide opportunities for improving the overall grade point average of students To monitor classroom performance of students To provide mandatory counseling sessions (One hour weekly sessions with school counselor) To provide tutoring in reading, mathematics, and other disciplines (Remedial and developmental activities are designed to meet individual needs)
