摘要:

SummaryExpectations of future development were assessed in parents of non‐disabled children (n= 240) using the Predictive Adaptive Ability Questionnaire (PAAQ). The reliability estimate for the overall PAAO was 0·90, with a test‐retest reliability of 0·99 and an interrater reliability of 0·83. Parental expectations did not significantly differ from normal adaptive ability developmental standards. Longitudinal examination of parental expectations and their influence on child development and the impact of chronic illness on such expectations is recom

摘要:

SummaryThe purpose of this study was to compare the semi‐prone (SP) and sitting (SIT) training positions with respect to head control in children with cerebral palsy, before and after 5 weeks biofeedback training using a head position trainer (HPT). Four children were randomly assigned to each of two training groups: (a) SP on a prone board inclined 45° above the horizontal and (b) SIT in their personal wheelchair and orthotic device. The HPT, secured to the child's head, controlled a video‐cassette player, turning it off when the head deviated beyond 25° from the vertical (termed an error). The time in error and the number of errors during test periods of 3 minutes, without feedback and completed in both the SP and the SIT positions, were determined immediately before and after, and at 16 weeks after training. The SIT trained group performed significantly better immediately post‐training in three of four comparisons (P0.05). Post‐training scores for the total group (n= 8) were significantly improved over pre‐training scores, regardless of the test position or the criterion measurement (P<0.05). Biofeedback training with a HPT can be effective in either the SIT or the SP positions, with improvement lasting at least 16 weeks after trainin

摘要:

SummaryThe issues arising from implementing an early intervention service, developed in the rural United States in the late 1960s in a range of different cultural contexts over a period of a quarter of a century, are explained. Services from India, Bangladesh, Jamaica and the United Kingdom are compared.As well as considering cross‐cultural aspects of Portage, variability within one country, the United Kingdom, is considered by comparing one service in an inner‐city area and one in a rural a

摘要:

SummaryThis study was undertaken to evaluate a service for sleep clinics over a time span of 2 years. The service was operated jointly by health visitors and clinical psychologists and based on a previous model run by the same team of psychologists and child development advisors. The outcome was not supportive of this type of service in terms of referral rates over a period of time, improvement rate, continued existence or cost‐effectiveness of such a service. The reasons for the difficulties of such clinics are discusse
