摘要:

Stress hormones, particularly glucocorticoids (eg, cortisol) and the processes that regulate them are part of the story of how early experiences shape brain development. This article reviews the research on the impact of glucocorticoids on the brain. The authors then describe the psychological and social processes that reduce stress hormone responses to threatening and painful procedures. Finally, they review the literature on cognitive and emotional effects of synthetic glucocorticoids. They attempt to provide a succinct overview of this complex area, pointing out where improvement in understanding and management of stress hormones early in development may improve medical and behavioral outcomes.

摘要:

Formal dispute resolution processes are an important component of the procedural safeguards designed to protect the rights of families involved in early intervention services for infants and toddlers with disabilities in accordance with the requirements of Part H of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Such processes include mediation as well as state administrative hearings and litigation in the state and federal courts. This article reports the findings of a study of conflict management in early intervention systems, and it examines the use of mediation as an alternative or supplement to the use of administrative hearings and litigation.

摘要:

Under Part H of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), disputes can and do arise between parents and early intervention service providers and program administrators, between early intervention professionals from different disciplines, and between agencies at the state and local level that provide and finance early intervention services. This article describes the use of a model of negotiation—the problem solving negotiation model—to resolve disputes arising under Part H. The article then describes the need for formal education and training in problem-solving negotiation in early intervention systems.

摘要:

Theories of child development tend to be rational rather than empiric and lack clear guidelines for deciding which services should be included in an intervention program. This article presents a model based on a public health approach that is empirically driven with correspondence rules relating the independent to the dependent variables. The Linda Ray Intervention Program will be used to illustrate the public health approach to intervention design that also incorporates aspects of child development theories. The program was designed to provide a total service intervention for infants exposed to cocaine in utero from low socioeconomic status, inner-city neighborhoods.
