The Stability

The Devereux Early Childhood Assessment (DECA) and recently updated Devereux Early Childhood Assessment for Preschoolers, Second Edition (DECA-P2) are strength-based measures that can inform early intervention. Whereas the short-term psychometric properties of these parent rating scales are strong, little is known about their long-term stability. Study findings from a diverse Head Start sample ( N = 282, DECA; N = 346, DECA-P2) revealed 12-month, test–retest reliability of protective factors ( r = .65) to be equivalent on the DECA-P2 and the DECA. The stability of parent ratings of behavior concerns appears improved in the newer edition ( r = .53 vs. r = .46). Additional consideration should be given to the stability of the DECA-P2 and its use as short- and long-term social, emotional, and behavioral intervention progress monitoring tool.

The hypothesis that the parents and siblings of children with nephrotic syndrome are more likely to develop psychosocial problems than those of healthy children was tested. Seventy-nine siblings from 36 such families were compared with 79 healthy children from closely matched families using interviews, parent rating scales, teachers' reports, and psychological tests. Although few striking differences were found between the two groups, the findings suggest several areas of increased vulnerability among the parents and siblings of children with nephrosis. Parents often denied the existence of apparently stressful events, but the personality profiles of the siblings suggested decreased social confidence and a lesser degree of self-acceptance. Evidence of inhibition, such as less aggression and poorer academic performance, were also described in response to questions in the interview. These results should prove useful to clinicians in the management of families of children with this or other chronic illnesses.

Clinicians and educators are becoming increasingly aware of sensory integrative dysfunctions (SIDs) in mainstream schoolchildren with specific developmental disorders (SDDs). This study was designed (1) to determine whether or not SID occurred significantly in mainstream schoolchildren aged 5–8 years, referred to the Ealing Paediatric Occupational Therapy Service (EPOTS); (2) to explore the patterns and nature of SID found In such a group; and (3) to ascertain any relationships between certain types of SID and specific behavioural traits. The study adopted a differential research method. The subjects were two groups of children aged 5–8 years. The experimental group (EG) consisted of 25 children referred to EPOTS. The control group (CG) consisted of 18 mainstream schoolchildren with no known dysfunction. All subjects were administered the Sensory Integration and Praxis Tests (SIPT) and Clinical Observations of neurobehavioural and neuromuscular functions. The Conners' Parent Rating Scales – 93 (CPRS-93) was used to evaluate specific behavioural traits in the EG children. The results of statistical analysis supported that mainstream schoolchildren with SDD (EG, n=25) referred to EPOTS had significantly lower scores (p<.001) in the SIPT than a normal control group of children (CG, n=18) with matched demographic data. The EG children showed significant neurobehavioural and neuromuscular dysfunctions (p<.05) in comparison with the CG in the Clinical Observations. The percentage of EG children with scores similar to the six SIPT clusters was 44%, which is higher than the figure of 29.6% produced by the test publisher. There was no consistent correlation between the SIPT variables and the variables identified in the CPRS-93. Although the findings were not conclusive, some partial pattern could be identified.

Child Behavior Disorders

Objective There is evidence that children who are deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) have a higher incidence of behavioral disorders. Assessment of behavioral health in this population is often complicated by language developmental delays, which may result in unrecognized and untreated behavioral problems. The purpose of this study is to assess the association of behavioral disorders among children who are DHH and to explore behavioral interventions for children in this population. Data Sources PubMed, CINALH, PsychINFO, and Web of Science. Review Methods Search terms included the following: problem behavior, child behavior disorders/diagnosis, child behavior disorders/psychology coupled with hearing loss, cochlear implants, hearing aids, or deafness. Studies from the last 30 years (1985-2016) were included. The articles were reviewed independently by 3 reviewers. Results Thirty-six articles met criteria. There was an association between internalizing behaviors and hearing loss among children, which may persist after cochlear implantation. These problems may be more pronounced for children with additional disabilities. Conduct and hyperactivity disorders as well as emotional and executive function problems among children who are DHH may be related to poor language development. There was limited evidence regarding interventions to address the behavioral disorders of DHH children. Conclusions There is a significant body of evidence demonstrating behavioral problems among DHH children but a lack of clear understanding of the mechanisms involved. There is limited evidence on interventions to address the behavioral problems of DHH children. Future research is warranted to mitigate the long-term effects of disruptive behavior among these children.
