This book was released on 2012-07-15 with total page 443 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children with chronic conditions, developmental disorders, and birth defects represent a sizeable minority of American children—as many as one in five. Often their families have financial or other issues limiting their access to appropriate care, thus limiting their adult prospects as well. Compounding the problem, many valuable resources concerning this population are difficult to access although they may be critical to the researchers, practitioners, and policymakers creating standards for quality care and services. In response, the Handbook of Children with Special Health Care Needs assembles research, applied, and policy perspectives reflecting the range of children’s problems requiring special services. Widely studied conditions (e.g., communication disorders, substance abuse) and those receiving lesser attention (e.g., tuberculosis) are covered, as are emerging ideas such as the “medical home” concept of continuity of care. Its interdisciplinary outlook makes the Handbook of Children with Special Health Care Needs a vital, forward-looking text for developmental psychologists, pediatricians, early childhood and special education researchers and practitioners, disability researchers, policymakers, and advocates, and providers for children with special health care needs.
Download or read book Individual County and State Level Determinants of Parent reported Need and Unmet Need for Physical Occupational and Speech Therapy Services Among Young Children with Developmental Delay written by and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Objectives: The purpose of this project was to better understand perceptions of need and unmet need for physical, occupational, and speech therapy services among parents and providers of children living in the U.S. with developmental delay. The specific aims were to: 1) examine individual-level determinants of parent-reported need and unmet need for therapy services among a national sample of children; 2) investigate county-level determinants of unmet therapy need in the state of Wisconsin; and 3) determine the extent to which between-state variation in parent-reported need and unmet need for therapy could be explained by state-level policies. Methods: For Aim 1 I employed multivariate logistic regression using data from the 2009-2010 National Survey of Children with Special Health Care Needs (NS-CSHCN). For Aim 2 I conducted a thematic content analysis with data collected from parents and providers affiliated with 11 county-level Part C Early Intervention (EI) programs throughout the state of Wisconsin to identify facilitators and barriers in meeting the therapy and educational needs of children. For Aim 3 I employed Hierarchical Generalized Linear Modeling using data from the 2009-2010 NS-CSHCN to model between-state variation in parent-reported need and unmet need for therapy services. Results and Conclusions: Simultaneously exploring differences in parent-reported need and unmet need for therapy services (Aim 1) uncovered a larger racial/ethnic disparity in "true" unmet need for therapy services than would have been reported using only parent-reported unmet therapy need. At the county level (Aim 2), breakdowns in communication between Part C EI programs and clinic-or hospital-based services resulted in families getting caught between these different service systems, and struggling to reconcile differing opinions. Finally, where a child lives matters in terms of meeting his or her service needs. A number of important differences exist between rural and urban Part C EI programs with regard to communication, staffing, scheduling, and community resources (Aim 2). Furthermore, restrictive state-level Part C EI and Medicaid/SCHIP policies were associated with increased rates of parent-reported unmet need. These policies explained 29.4% and 93.2% of the between-state variance in parent-reported need and unmet need for therapy, respectively.

This book was released on 2016-11-21 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decades of research have demonstrated that the parent-child dyad and the environment of the familyâ€"which includes all primary caregiversâ€"are at the foundation of children's well- being and healthy development. From birth, children are learning and rely on parents and the other caregivers in their lives to protect and care for them. The impact of parents may never be greater than during the earliest years of life, when a child's brain is rapidly developing and when nearly all of her or his experiences are created and shaped by parents and the family environment. Parents help children build and refine their knowledge and skills, charting a trajectory for their health and well-being during childhood and beyond. The experience of parenting also impacts parents themselves. For instance, parenting can enrich and give focus to parents' lives; generate stress or calm; and create any number of emotions, including feelings of happiness, sadness, fulfillment, and anger. Parenting of young children today takes place in the context of significant ongoing developments. These include: a rapidly growing body of science on early childhood, increases in funding for programs and services for families, changing demographics of the U.S. population, and greater diversity of family structure. Additionally, parenting is increasingly being shaped by technology and increased access to information about parenting. Parenting Matters identifies parenting knowledge, attitudes, and practices associated with positive developmental outcomes in children ages 0-8; universal/preventive and targeted strategies used in a variety of settings that have been effective with parents of young children and that support the identified knowledge, attitudes, and practices; and barriers to and facilitators for parents' use of practices that lead to healthy child outcomes as well as their participation in effective programs and services. This report makes recommendations directed at an array of stakeholders, for promoting the wide-scale adoption of effective programs and services for parents and on areas that warrant further research to inform policy and practice. It is meant to serve as a roadmap for the future of parenting policy, research, and practice in the United States.

This book was released on 2018-04-02 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Social Security Administration (SSA) administers two programs that provide benefits based on disability: the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program and the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program. This report analyzes health care utilizations as they relate to impairment severity and SSA's definition of disability. Health Care Utilization as a Proxy in Disability Determination identifies types of utilizations that might be good proxies for "listing-level" severity; that is, what represents an impairment, or combination of impairments, that are severe enough to prevent a person from doing any gainful activity, regardless of age, education, or work experience.

This book was released on 2016-10-24 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children with disabilities and complex medical and educational needs present a special challenge for policy makers and practitioners. These children exhibit tremendous heterogeneity in their conditions and needs, requiring a varied array of services to meet those needs. Uneven public and professional awareness of their conditions and a research base marked by significant gaps have led to programs, practices, and policies that are inconsistent in quality and coverage. Parents often have to navigate and coordinate, largely on their own, a variety of social, medical, and educational support services, adding to the already daunting financial, logistical, and emotional challenges of raising children with special needs. The unmet needs of children with disabilities and complex medical and educational needs can cause great suffering for these children and for those who love and care for them. To examine how systems can be configured to meet the needs of children and families as they struggle with disabilities and complex health and educational needs, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine held a workshop in December 2015. The goal of the workshop was to highlight the main barriers and promising solutions for improving care and outcome of children with complex medical and educational needs. Workshop participants examined prevention, care, service coordination, and other topics relevant to children with disabilities and complex health and educational needs, along with their families and caregivers. More broadly, the workshop seeks actionable understanding on key research questions for enhancing the evidence base; promoting and sustaining the quality, accessibility, and use of relevant programs and services; and informing relevant policy development and implementation. By engaging in dialogue to connect the prevention, treatment, and implementation sciences with settings where children are seen and cared for, the forum seeks to improve the lives of children by improving the systems that affect those children and their families. This publications summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.
