Bowman,Irving B. Harris Professor of Child Development, Erikson Institute “The key to successful change is continued development of the frames of reference. Both editors have respected the past, listened to the implementers, and provided a context for moving forward. Like efforts to build systems of child development, which we must now link to growth in specific children we know by name, the book ends with robust examples of the work in progress. Sharon Lynn Kagan and Kristie Kauerz don't just talk about the work, they participate in the creation of change.” —Sherri Killins, Ed.D, Commissioner, Department of Early Education and Care, Massachusetts

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After decades of rapid evolution and groundbreaking research, the field of early intervention can be understood within a common framework: the Developmental Systems Approach (DSA). Created by a highly influential leader in the field, Michael Guralnick, this evidence-based, relationship-oriented, family-centered framework focuses on strengthening the quality of key family patterns of interaction that influence a child's development. The overall integration of developmental science, our knowledge of risk and disability, intervention science, and practice provides the structure for the DSA. In this important volume, Guralnick organizes and analyzes the most current research and developments in early intervention through the lens of the DSA. Starting with a clear explanation of the foundations of early intervention, the book then applies the DSA to four vulnerable populations: children at risk due to biological factors, specifically preterm birth, children at environmental risk, children with developmental delays, and children with autism spectrum disorder. Readers will discover how the DSA can guide the development of effective services and supports for diverse young children and families, and they (TM)ll come away with insights on how to use this framework to improve early intervention programs in their own communities. An invaluable reference for early childhood researchers, faculty, and policy makers, this forward-thinking book is the key to establishing inclusive community-based early intervention systems that nurture each family's strengths and promote child development. READERS WILL: Understand the developmental science that applies to all children Learn how child development is influenced by three critical family patterns of interaction--parent-child transactions, family-orchestrated child experiences, and parent promotion of child health and safety Explore the influence of family resources as well as child-specific risk and protective factors on a child (TM)s health and development in the context of early intervention Discover ways to select interventions that are most effective for children and families based on intervention science and the DSA conceptual framework Learn the fundamentals of applying the DSA framework to designing and implementing inclusive community-based systems of early intervention
Download or read book From Neurons to Neighborhoods written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2000-11-13 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How we raise young children is one of today's most highly personalized and sharply politicized issues, in part because each of us can claim some level of "expertise." The debate has intensified as discoveries about our development-in the womb and in the first months and years-have reached the popular media. How can we use our burgeoning knowledge to assure the well-being of all young children, for their own sake as well as for the sake of our nation? Drawing from new findings, this book presents important conclusions about nature-versus-nurture, the impact of being born into a working family, the effect of politics on programs for children, the costs and benefits of intervention, and other issues. The committee issues a series of challenges to decision makers regarding the quality of child care, issues of racial and ethnic diversity, the integration of children's cognitive and emotional development, and more. Authoritative yet accessible, From Neurons to Neighborhoods presents the evidence about "brain wiring" and how kids learn to speak, think, and regulate their behavior. It examines the effect of the climate-family, child care, community-within which the child grows.

Book excerpt: This book presents an amalgam of early intervention ideas from the fields of education, occupational therapy, and physical therapy for children with developmental delays. An introductory chapter describes the approach's three theoretical bases: neurodevelopmental treatment (NDT), sensory integration, and Piagetian theory. Chapter 1 considers assessment, including determination of eligibility, screening, diagnosis, evaluation for program planning, and program evaluation. NDT program components are reviewed in Chapter 2, including positioning, handling, and facilitating movement. Chapter 3 considers sensory integration program components including tactile, vestibular, and proprioceptive activities. Piagetian program components such as play and cognitive content are described in the fourth chapter, covering object permanence, means-ends and cause-effect, gestural and vocal imitation, and spatial relationships. Chapter 5 presents speech-language program components including feeding, speech production, auditory responsiveness, communication, and augmentative communication. Chapter 6 offers guidelines for integrating program components, with sections on the team model, team members, services delivered by the transdisciplinary team, in-service programs, incorporating therapy in the classroom, and development of individualized programs. Four appendixes list assessment and instructional resources. A glossary and a bibliography of 120 items are also included. (DB)

Download or read book Results Accountability for a State Early Childhood Comprehensive System written by Mark Friedman and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The federal Maternal and Child Health Bureau has launched a five-year initiative that will support state efforts to build comprehensive early childhood service systems. This initiative--the State Early Childhood Comprehensive Systems Initiative (SECCS)--provides two year planning grants followed by three year implementation grants to the 50 state Maternal and Child Health agencies. The purpose of these grants is to help coordinate, integrate and improve the access to, and the quality of, health, early education, parent education, and family support services for young children and their families. The Initiative seeks to help assure that all children enter school healthy and ready to learn, and achieve the fullest possible social and emotional development. This paper sets forth a disciplined thinking process designed to do these things--to help identify actions that will measurably improve the lives of children, families and communities. It is now being used, in whole or in part, in at least 40 states and eight countries. It breaks with past planning methods in several important ways. First it begins with discipline about language and the use of words to label ideas. Second, it posits a sharp distinction between accountability for the well-being of whole populations and accountability for the performance of programs, agencies and service systems. And third it offers a common sense progression of work, from talk to action, that produces effective actions with minimum paper. The approach offered in this planning guide can be used to structure the planning process, and future iterations of the planning process, to produce the legacy of results we want for young children and their families. The following are appended: (1) Resources; (2) A Tool for Choosing a Common Language; and (3) Results-Based Decision Making: Getting from Talk to Action. (Contains 3 figures and 34 footnotes.) [This publication was produced by the National Center for Infant and Early Childhood Health Policy, an active collaboration between the UCLA Center for Healthier Children, Families and Communities, the Association of Maternal and Child Health Programs (AMCHP), the Women and Children's Health Policy Center at the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health, and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).].
