This study identified effect size of cognition improvement programs developed for normal elderly in Korea. By searching four databases, 9,624 studies published from 2000 to 2016 were identified. Finally, 14 studies which satisfied the inclusion criteria were selected for meta-analysis. Quality assessment of included studies was conducted using controlled trial checklist of Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network. R version 3.3.2 (2016-10-31) with "meta" and "metafor" package was used to calculate effect sizes, identify the reasons of heterogeneity, and check publication bias. Total effect size of cognition improvement program was middle (SMD=0.759, p<.001, $I^2=34%$). For heterogeneity, moderator analysis was executed and combined program with exercise had the largest effect size (SMD=1.231, p<.001, $I^2=40.8%$). Publication bias was exist by funnel plot and Egger 's regression test, but trim and fill analysis showed that there was no serious error to reverse study results. Therefore, Combined program with exercise for the normal elderly was expected to improve the cognitive function of the normal elderly.

Objective : This study aimed to confirm the research characteristics by analyzing the literature that applied the school readiness programs for children with disabilities. Methods : Studies were collected from the PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Research Information Sharing Service databases. The key terms were "School readiness" AND ("Occupational Therapy" OR "Rehabilitation") in English and Korean. Total eight articles were selected through the selection and exclusion criteria. Results : The programs included multi-type training, motor skill training, parent training, and mobile application training. The providers were psychologists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, speech pathologists, community workers, educators, and the psychologists who conducted most of the research. The program factors can be classified into academic function, motor function, social function, parental training, and others. Academic and social functions accounted for the largest proportion of the respondents. The intervention improved multiple skills, literacy, parenting skills, and gross fine motor function. Conclusion : This study aimed to provide basic data for school-based occupational therapy by analyzing school readiness programs for children with disabilities. Recently, interest in and research on school readiness has increased. Occupational therapists should also establish their roles in the field of school-related rehabilitation and provide various school-based occupational therapies.

This paper aims to guide experts who manage dementia by exploring the various non-drug interventions and analyzing the effective intervention methods applicable according to the functional level of the elderly with dementia. Fourteen studies were analyzed in this study. Meta-analysis was performed using the means, standard deviations, and the number of samples. Subsequent meta-analysis showed that the Holnis program had the largest effect size in cognitive function, the bakery activity program in memory, and the composite intermediation program with ADL was the largest. In addition, client-centric cognitive stimulation interventions showed the most significant effect sizes, while in depression and BPSD, rhythmic movement activities had the most significant effect size. Elderly with dementia exhibit various symptoms depending on their characteristics and the progress of the disease. Therefore, more efficient arbitration could be provided if the effects of each intervention can be applied differently.

This study was a literature review to investigate the trends and characteristics of music intervention studies on psychological support for children and adolescents from multicultural families. A total of 19 researches(13 theses and 6 articles) from 2009 to 2018 was reviewed through the selection and exclusion criteria. First, in the general characteristics, researches employing quasi-experimental design and those of one-group pre-post tests scored a higher ratio, and studies for children under the age of 13 also showed the highest percentage. Second, about the intervention characteristics, the goal mainly focussed on self-related factors such as self-identity, self-esteem and self-concept, and with the intervention type, there were mostly found the group activities integrating singing, playing and creating. It is meaningful that this study can be used as basic data developing music intervention programs for them, and suggesting music intervention considering the characteristics of them will be conducted more actively in the future.

The study researches regarding changing in reading and auditory perception ability after intervening dyslexia high-risk group of middle and high school students for improvement on auditory processing of neurological factors, and then aims to make a systematic intervention program for dyslexia students in verifying efficacy. The target of study is dyslexia high-risk group of 168 middle and high school students after a preliminary screening test in Childcare Facilities which are vulnerable social group in Gyeonggi province. They are tested deeply by reading and auditory perception ability, and then 24 students are selected. They are tested 20 times by auditory perception simulation and fluent reading train in TOMATIS Method for improving auditory system which transmits language information, and then are taken by post tests. In conclusion intervention efficacy is sure because reading, understanding, and auditory processing ability are in significant change of statistical analysis after preliminary and post tests. It is an important achievement to show necessity of neurological science access in diagnosis and intervention method of dyslexia through the research.
