摘要:

The type and prevalence of psychiatric disorders were assessed in 200 children with speech and language disorders referred to a suburban speech and hearing clinic. Possible correlates of psychiatric disorder, including demographic factors, medical and developmental problems, psychosocial stressors, and speech and language factors, were also assessed. Standardized psychiatric and speech and language evaluations were done for all subjects, as were IQ and academic testing. Approximately 50% of the sample had some definable psychiatric disorder. The most common diagnoses were behavior disorders, followed by emotional disorders. The presence of psychiatric disorder was strongly correlated with speech and language factors, as well as psychosocial stressors. These findings have implications for primary care practitioners and speech and language therapists involved in planning treatment programs for such children.

摘要:

The effects of methylphenidate and behavioral self-control training on sustained attention were compared in 12 boys aged 6–9 years. Subjects were of low-average intelligence and had academic and behavioral problems including distractibility, short attention span, and impulsiveness. Treatment conditions (baseline, placebo, methylphenidate, and behavioral self-control training) were assigned according to a single-subject randomized block design. Attention was measured by the Children's Checking Test (CCT). Methylphenidate improved performance on the CCT and was superior to the other treatment conditions. Several children benefited from behavioral training, but statistical analysis of this change was nonsignificant. These results are consistent with and extend those of previous studies.

摘要:

Fathers involved with teenage pregnancies have been neglected by the medical profession and social service agencies. The birth of a child has a profound impact on most fathers. The father plays an important role at all stages of the child's development, as evidenced by the adverse effects of father absence. Teenage fathers often do have a close, meaningful relationship with the mother, but many have difficulty coping with the pregnancy and the change in lifestyle created by the birth of a child. Agencies dealing with the pregnant teenager must include the father. Attempts to strengthen the father-mother and father-child relationship should be encouraged. Prevention of teenage pregnancy and its adverse consequences must ultimately involve the male if these efforts are to succeed.

摘要:

This review of several early motor milestones attempts to define the neural circuitry involved in producing these behaviors and to correlate neuroanatomic maturation of this circuitry with the emergence of mature motor abilities. An understanding of the genetic and environmental effects on this circuitry could improve the prevention and treatment of developmental disorders.

摘要:

The long-term effects (1–3 years) of intensive initial counseling of parents of children with meningomyelocele were examined. Mothers who received such counseling (N = 7) were significantly better informed overall on 13 informational areas compared with those whose initial counseling was less intensive (N = 7). Further research is necessary on parental comprehension and retention of medical information.
