Objective
To describe the last 5 years' experience of Child Development Centre (CDC), Kerala Developmental Evaluation Clinic II for children between 2 and 10 y, referred for suspicion of developmental lag in the preschool years and scholastic difficulty in the primary classes with specific focus on developmental profile and the experience of the home based intervention package taught to the mothers.Methods
A team of evaluators including developmental therapist, preschool teacher with special training in clinical child development, speech therapist, special educator, clinical psychologist and developmental pediatrician assessed all the children referred to CDC Kerala. Denver Developmental Screening Test (DDST-II), Vineland Social Maturity Scale (VSMS) and Intelligent Quotient (IQ) tests were administered to all children below 6 y and those above 6 with apparent developmental delay.Results
Speech/delay (35.9 %), behavior problem (15.4 %), global delay/ intellectual disability (15.4 %), learning problem (10.9 %), pervasive developmental disorders (7.7 %), seizure disorder (1.7 %), hearing impairment (0.7 %), and visual impairment (0.7 %) were the clinical diagnosis by a developmental pediatrician. Each child with developmental problem was offered a home based intervention package consisting of developmental therapy and special education items, appropriate to the clinical diagnosis of the individual child and the same was taught to the mother.Conclusions
The experience of conducting the developmental evaluation clinic for children between 2 and 10 y has shown that a team consisting of developmental therapist, speech therapist, preschool teacher, special educator, clinical child psychologist and developmental pediatrician, using appropriate test results of the child could make a clinical diagnosis good enough for providing early intervention therapy using a home based intervention package.6.

This paper begins with a discussion of the historical basis for the concept of developmental coordination disorder (DCD). The definition of this disorder as it appears in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders IV (DSM-IV) is then provided. The four diagnostic criteria proposed by the DSM-IV are used to describe the disorder. Problems associated with the assessment of DCD are discussed and suggestions for further research are identified. This is followed by a discussion of intervention approaches that can be used with children identified with DCD. 相似文献

The term "Developmental Care" has been applied to a wide range of interventions. These may be centred on the nursing management of the infant, their environment or family-based interventions. The short-term targets of reducing infant stress and promoting stability have led to hopes that long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes may be improved by some or all of these practices. Thus far the paucity of large clinical trials consistently demonstrating positive outcomes has resulted in cynicism among many clinicians. However, the generally positive experiences of those units which have adopted many of these practices have contributed to the spread of these interventions in neonatal units. The emergence of large well-conducted clinical trials may provide the evidence to support or refute the outcome-based assumptions of developmental care. 相似文献
