摘要:

The National Collaborative Research Institute on Early Childhood Intervention (NCRI-ECI) multisite study of the effectiveness of family-focused, developmentally supportive care with low birthweight infants consisted of an experimental component and a reflective process component. This article describes the reflective process component, which is essential because of the theory-guided, relationship-based, and systems-oriented nature of developmental care; the complexity of the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) environment; and the need for organized support for change and growth in NICU practice.

摘要:

Six dimensions of consultative services are described as varying along a continuum from totally segregated to fully integrated: location, presence of other children, adult-child initiations, goal functionality, context of intervention, and consultant's role. Along with the dimensions, a continuum of consultative models is presented: one-on-one pull-out, small-group pull-out, one-on-one in the classroom, group activity, individual within routine, and consultation. Data on the reported use of integrated versus isolated treatment models are discussed, as well as data on practitioners' preferences. Conclusions focus on demystifying therapy, the movement toward integrated therapy, the importance of viewing models along a continuum, and the challenges involved in changing ways of providing therapy.

摘要:

There are relationships among the stages in which infants begin to develop their communicative competence, display differentiated vocal productions, and exhibit the beginnings of cognitive development. Through a comprehensive review of the literature, behaviors representative of the normal stages of communication, cognition, and vocalization in the prelinguistic period were identified. Research results were then summarized and organized to develop a checklist for the assessment of at-risk infants. The behavioral checklist can be used to monitor infant development; to supplement formal screening and diagnostic tools; to instruct parents about the normal range of communicative, cognitive, and vocal development; and to provide direction for how parents can observe and report their observations.
