SummaryTo investigate long‐term effects of a hospital‐based neonatal intervention programme, we performed a follow‐up study on the development of very low birthweight neonates who were subjected to a tactile stimulation/range‐finding programme. At corrected ages up to 1 year we evaluated weight‐for‐length gain, length, head circumference, psychomotor development, ankle mobility, tactile responses, motor behaviour and physical/neurological status. Significant differences between groups were found in weight‐for‐length gain in the girls and on items ‘inspects own hands’ and ‘playing with feet to mouth’ of he psychomotor development profile. These results suggest that our programme influences growth and enhances the infa

摘要:

SummaryA more detailed study was made of the children who had been followed‐up by Urwin, Cook&Kelly (1988) 4–8 years after leaving a preschool language group. Children were independently allocated into groups according to their speech and language diagnosis prior to entry to the Unit. There were two major dimensions—receptive/expressiveversusexpressive only, and phonologyversusnon‐phonology. Comparisons were made between the groups as indicated by children's performance at follow‐up for measures of ability, achievement, language and social functioning. Conclusions are drawn about the long‐term effects of the early language difficulty and preschool intervention. Attention is also drawn to differences in perceiving the effects of language difficulty between the specialist professionals on the one hand and parents and teachers o

摘要:

SummaryThe purpose of this research project was to determine whether reading informational cards about appropriate developmental and behavioural expectations of children and non‐violent approaches to child behaviour management would result in significant changes in parental knowledge and/or behaviour. Pre‐ and post‐test data are compared and self‐reports from parents about changes in feelings and behaviour subsequent to reading the cards are r

摘要:

SummaryRecords of 244 preschool medicals were studied retrospectively. The value of the examination to the children, their parents and teachers, and the use of clinical medical officer time was considered. Fifty‐seven per cent had previously undetected problems deemed to require follow‐up. This number was subsequently corrected to 50% in the light of current practice. Fourteen per cent warranted referral to other professionals and 4·5% received treatment. The high number of vision defects noted suggests further study. Fifteen per cent of the parents wished to discuss concerns about their children with the clinical medical officer. Clinical medical officer practice varied, but showed the incidence of follow‐up to be inversely proportional to the referral rate. The number of previously undetected problems recorded in the survey supports medical examination of all children at this age. However, review of criteria and further study is indicated to make the best use of res
