摘要:

SummarySmiling by live Down's syndrome and seven non‐handicapped infants was recorded longitudinally during face‐to‐face interactions with their mothers over the first 6 months of the infants' lives. Two conditions, “mobile” (mothers were asked to talk to the baby as naturally as possible) and ‘immobile’ (silent and maintain an impassive face), were contrasted. Between‐group comparisons confirmed previous findings of significantly delayed emergence and less frequent smiling by the infants with Down's syndrome. Their smiles were also found to be shorter, and less discriminative between the two free‐to‐face conditions. The non‐handicapped infants showed significantly more cry/distress vocalizations in the immobile than in the mobile condition, while the reverse was found for the Downs syndrome infants. A close temporal association between smiling and eye contact with mothers was found for both groups of infants. In a free interaction condition, mothers of the Down's syndrome babies showed a stronger tendency to use kinaesthetic and tactile stimulation than mothers of the no

摘要:

SummaryThe effects of preventive education and birth order on IQ scores of 95 economically disadvantaged children at risk for retarded intellectual development were studied. Experimental first‐ and later‐born children participated from birth in a 5‐year programme of systematic educational intervention. An equal number of children served as controls and received no systematic intervention. First‐borns prevailed as the brighter children in both the educational treatment group and the control group when Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence (WPPSI) full scale and verbal IQ scores were compared. Furthermore, mothers of first‐borns (70% of whom were only‐born at age 5) achieved significantly higher WAIS scores than did mothers of later‐born children. Results suggest that later‐born disadvantaged children are at greatest risk for developmen

摘要:

SummaryThe Liverpool Visual Assessment Team (VAT) was established in 1975 as a multidisciplinary service for the evaluation of the disabilities of visually handicapped children. Team membership and patterns of practice are described. Two hundred and fifty‐four children have now been seen by the VAT over a 10‐year period. The mean age of referral was 4–2 years; only 46% of the children had an isolated visual handicap. The aetiology of disabilities was known in 58% of the children. Genetically determined visual handicap was likely to be associated with normal intelligence. Ophthalmological diagnoses arc described. In comparison to what would he predicted, there were fewer children with retinopathy of prematurity and more with cerebral (cortical) blindness. The educational needs and placements of the children are described and the implications of the implementation of the 1981 Education Act for visually handicapped children are disc

摘要:

SummaryA survey of remedial teaching based on a particular method and carried out in an NHS clinic over 2 years has been presented. The findings suggest a differential pattern of improvement both for reading and spelling as well as for type of learning difficulty, whether ‘backward’ or ‘specifically retarded’. A plea for early recognition of specific learning difficulties and the provision of appropriate remedial teaching is made as the present findings suggest that a structured method of teaching can lead to improvement in both reading and s
