   Extractions: 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. Key Words vision screening, attention deficit disorder, ADD, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, ADHD, dyslexia, dyslexic, oppositional-defiant behavior, at-risk students, at risk students, problem behavior, disruptive behavior, hyperactivity, hyperactive, poor attention, reading problems, short attention span

   Extractions: In our earlier work, we acknowledged that the students who were part of our summer camp did not necessarily represent students in general. These were children who were attending a $400 week-long day camp specializing in computers during their summer vacation. We were able to provide some scholarships due to the generosity of US West Communication, which helped the diversity of the student population, but overall we worked with students who had already expressed a strong interest in computers. Additionally, we knew that there are different ways to use VR as an educational tool. For example, we could present information first, and then have the students build their own world or we could build our own world and have the students learn from that. We wanted to at least discuss our options, even if we did not change anything. Finally, we realized that working with VR as a stand alone project could be different than using VR within a school subject. For the second question, we had to decide on the manner in which to use VR as an educational tool. Our main schools of thought include: the students exploring an already built world (pre-fab); the students creating their own world on a 2-dimensional screen (such as a Macintosh) and then exploring it (Mac self-created); and the students creating their own world in VR and then exploring it (VR self-created). Although there has been very little study of the pros and cons of the different methods, we do have theories based on our experience with VR

5. Identifying The 'At Risk' Student
   This essay is has been expanded from an article, at risk students What Exactly is the Threat? Whence the great concern with at risk students?  
   http://www.newfoundations.com/EGR/AtRisk.html
   
   Extractions: edited 5/8/04 How Do We Recognize Risk? It would be taken as a joke were someone to say, "He's at risk of winning the lottery!" or "She's at risk of graduating from Harvard!" This is because being "at risk" is taken to indicate a possible confrontation with something undesirable and we would find it hard to believe although not inconceivable that someone would think of winning a lottery or graduating from Harvard as undesirable. Also interesting is that someone's likelihood of not attaining something desirable is not, in many situations, seen as putting him or her at risk: "For a fourth grader, your son plays good basketball; but I'm afraid he has at best a very slim chance of becoming an NBA star." We do not take it that our son is at risk. Also, it is not at all likely that you or I will win an Olympic medal for the Decathlon; however we are not, thereby, at risk.

    Extractions: We know that it is important to work as early as possible with students from underserved populations. These are the most likely to return to such practices after graduation. The dilemma is to pick early enough to stimulate education, learning, and career development, but not to socialize students away from returning to their practices. This is a key concern of parents in some underserved populations. So far here are some postings. Need some more that reach out to early years or that take students who have not been admitted and help them to address deficiencies, please. I know that the Medical Schools at University of Oklahoma, University of North Dakota, and University of Minnesota-Duluth have strong programs for enrolling Native American Students. Ron Gratz rkgratz@mtu.edu John Strosnider at the Pikeville College School of Osteopathic Medicine would have some data, though the school is relatively new. They have a strong selection bias in favor of "at risk" students from medically deprived areas. His input should be considered. Thomas E.
