Care Survey

The first general meeting of the Academy of Pediatrics was held in Atlantic City in 1931. A year previously a meeting had been held in Detroit, at which time officers were elected and a constitution was adopted. The meeting at Atlantic City was a report of committees appointed the year before. This was followed by a business meeting. During this session Dr. Henry Gerstenberger, newly appointed head of the Committee on Hospitals, made a formal recommendation from his group. One of the first acts of the Academy, he stated, should be an evaluation of the current methods of teaching pediatrics in medical schools. The recommendation was also that an analysis should be made of the care of children in hospitals and other children's institutions. Such a survey should be repeated periodically. Dr. Gerstenberger emphasized his suggestion by stating that only projects of this nature could justify a new pediatric society. He and his committee felt strongly that this new organization should not be just scientific and social, for other pediatric societies fulfilled that need. It should have as a goal the greater welfare of all children. This point also was the theme of the presidential address of Dr. Isaac Abt at this same meeting. The suggestion of a Child Care Survey was referred to the Committee on Child Health Relations and to the Committee to Cooperate with Governmental and Non-medical Agencies. No continuing program ever followed this suggestion. Events described here show that it was a task no new organization could successfully have undertaken. In 1935, four years later, Dr. Clifford G. Grulee, Secretary of the Academy, submitted what might be called a modification of the suggestion made by Dr. Gerstenberger.

Stakeholder Input

Abstract Speech-language pathologists, working in a multicultural, community-based environment for young children with special needs in Vancouver, Canada, collected information on 84 clients using AAC from a chart review. The speech-language pathologists collected additional usage information and attended a group interview to discuss barriers and facilitators of AAC. Thirty-one percent of the children were using AAC. Children aged between 16 and 72 months typically relied on multiple modes of communication, including sign, communication boards and binders, and low- and high-tech communication devices. All of the children used at least one type of unaided mode. Fifty-five percent used pictures or communication boards/displays, and 29% used technology with speech output. Similarities in usage of AAC were noted in home and child-care settings with increased use of unaided in homes and a slightly increased use of aided communication in child care settings. Speech-language pathologists reported that the time needed for AAC intervention as well as limited funding for high-tech devices continue to be major barriers. Additional research is needed to describe current AAC practices with young children particularly from minority linguistic and cultural backgrounds. Stakeholder input is needed to explore perceptions of children's usage of AAC in daily life with familiar and unfamiliar communication partners.
