SummaryResults from two longitudinal studies of blind infant—sighted mother and of deaf infant‐hearing mother/deaf mother interaction, are summarized in this paper. The aim is to shed light on the role of visual and auditory stimulation in the development of communication. Video‐recorded Interactions taken during infancy were transcribed in a systematic, objective and detailed way. The development of communication is described with a focus on pre‐verbal abilities, exploration of toys, social and symbolic play, communicative intent and sharing of experiences, The results show a delay in the development of communication in the blind infants compared with the deaf infants, indicating a more critical role of visual stimulation compared with auditory stimulation during the infancy period to this deve

摘要:

SummaryIn July 1993, professionals from a number of European countries met at the 7th European Usher Syndrome Study Group. The purpose of the Study Group (which meets on a biannual basis) is to give professionals working in this specialized field the opportunity to share ideas and examples of their work. People attending included medical practitioners, social service workers, representatives from voluntary bodies and individuals with Usher. The following article is an expanded version of a paper presented at the Study Group. It describes the development of a 3 hour workshop for the wide range of practitioners a child or young person with Usher syndrome may meet. Through group work, positive approaches to working through the personal and practical implications of Usher syndrome are explored.

摘要:

SummaryA cohort of 37 pre‐term children was assessed for both morphosyntactical and for vocabulary skills at the age of 2 and again at the age of 3 years and 6 months. They were compared with two comparison groups of full‐term children (adjusted age and chronological age). The results Indicated (1) a clear asynchrony between the two components of language production assessed at both ages, (2) an accurate prediction of language delay at age 2 for pre‐term children (35% of pre‐term children were detected for morphosyntax as measured by Mean Length of Utterance and 27% of pre‐term children were detected for vocabulary as measured by the number of different words) and, (3) no evidence on the relationship of language and motor development as measured by formal tests. Such findings strongly challenge the validity of standardized developmental tests and support to a certain extent the hypothesis that language development is independent of motor skills. A neurodevelopmental assessment is

摘要:

SummaryThirty‐five parents of Children with special educational needs were interviewed to ascertain their experiences of dealing with education officers involved in the assessment and placement of their Children. They were found predominantly to make internal attributions for negative behaviours, and external attributions for positive behaviours. The implication of these results for new United Kingdom government initiatives to reduce conflict between parents and education authorities are examine

摘要:

SummaryThis paper examines standards for the use of children as research participants in medical research which are relevant to Australia and relates the standards to pivotal ethical issues. The standards include the National Health and Medical Research Council'sNHMRCStatement and Supplementary Notes, professional codes of ethics, international human rights conventions, United Kingdom and United States codes of ethics, and statute and case law. The key ethical issues of potential risk and benefit to the child, and consent to research participation are discussed. Suggestions for the improvement of the NHMRC Statement are made.
