This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A child’s achievement of motor milestones could result in later motor problems in children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD). This study aimed to explore potential associations between early and later motor problems and demographic characteristics (such as race/ethnicity) in children with DCD. One hundred and thirteen parents/caregivers of children aged between 5 to 18 years with motor difficulties were asked to answer an online survey about early motor milestones, demographics, and current motor problems of children. The proper distribution for minority groups could not be found due to the sample being self-selected, however the focus was shifted to the achievement of ten developmental motor milestones. The results indicated that over 90% of children were suspect for DCD, but most children were “on time” for the achievement of motor milestones. With motor milestones utilized as the primary marker for early development by pediatricians, the findings questioned the validity of the 10 motor milestones.

Download or read book Relations Between Motor Social and Cognitive Skills in Young Children with Developmental Disabilities written by Helyn Kim and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of children's motor abilities, in relation to other developmental areas, has been acknowledged in both theory and research. However, researchers have typically focused on gross motor abilities in relation to cognitive and social abilities, and associations between fine motor, cognitive, and social abilities have received little research attention. In addition, very few studies have looked at the potential interrelations between motor, social, and cognitive abilities in preschool-aged children with developmental disabilities. The current study examined three areas of development, motor (both fine and gross motor), social, and cognitive skills, in preschool-aged children with developmental disabilities, to see whether there were associations between the three areas. The data for the study come from the Miami School Readiness Project (MSRP), a large-scale, collaborative, school readiness project, taking place in Miami-Dade County, Florida. Participants were children receiving early childhood special education services (N = 3,191), who were assessed for overall development and socio-emotional protective factors in the Fall and Spring of their pre-kindergarten year, using the LAP-D and the DECA. Results indicated that there were definite associations between motor, cognitive, and social skills. Also, both fine motor and gross motor skills in the Fall of the pre-kindergarten year significantly predicted later cognitive and social skills, measured in the Spring of the pre-kindergarten year, after controlling for child gender, age, and disability type; however, associations were stronger for fine motor skills, as opposed to gross motor skills, for both cognitive and social skills. In addition, disability category moderated the associations between motor and social and cognitive skills; however, gender was not a moderator, suggesting that the underlying associations between the three areas are similar for both boys and girls. The findings from this study have important implications for early educational programs and interventions, as well as for policymakers.

Download or read book Life Span Motor Development written by Kathleen M. Haywood and published by Human Kinetics. This book was released on 2021-06-01 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life Span Motor Development, Seventh Edition With HKPropel Access, is a leading text for helping students examine and understand how interactions of the developing and maturing individual, the environment, and the task being performed bring about changes in a person’s movements. This model of constraints approach, combined with an unprecedented collection of video clips marking motor development milestones, facilitates an unmatched learning experience for the study of motor development across the life span. The seventh edition expands the tradition of making the student’s experience with motor development an interactive one. Related online learning tools delivered through HKPropel include more than 190 video clips marking motor development milestones to sharpen observation techniques, with interactive questions and 47 lab activities to facilitate critical thinking and hands-on application. The lab activities may be assigned and tracked by instructors through HKPropel, along with chapter quizzes (assessments) that are automatically graded to test comprehension of critical concepts. The text also contains several updates to keep pace with the changing field: Content related to physcial growth and development of the skeletal, muscle, and adipose systems is reorganized chronologically for a more logical progression. New material on developmental motor learning demonstrates the overlap between the disciplines of motor development and motor learning. New insights into motor competence help explain the relationship between skill development and physical fitness. The text helps students understand how maturational age and chronological age are distinct and how functional constraints affect motor skill development and learning. It shows how the four components of physical fitness—cardiorespiratory endurance, strength, flexibility, and body composition—interact to affect a person’s movements over the life span, and describes how relevant social, cultural, psychosocial, and cognitive influences can affect a person’s movements. This edition comes with 148 illustrations, 60 photos, and 25 tables—all in full color—to help explain concepts and to make the text more engaging for students. It also retains helpful learning aids including chapter objectives, a running glossary, key points, sidebars, and application questions throughout each chapter. Life Span Motor Development, Seventh Edition, embraces an interactive and practical approach to illustrate the most recent research in motor development. Students will come away with a firm understanding of the concepts and how they apply to real-world situations. Note: A code for accessing HKPropel is not included with this ebook but may be purchased separately.

Download or read book Early Childhood Development and Children of Immigrant Families written by Ameneh Toosi and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mounting evidence indicates that early childhood experiences have lifetime consequences for adult functioning and therefore the wellbeing of societies. Early childhood life is also considered the most effective and cost-efficient time for preventing inequalities in human life. Despite the large numbers of international migrants and their children worldwide, as well as the growing interest in understanding and supporting optimal child development, there is little understanding about the early development of children in international migrant families and the factors that influence their development. The majority of research on children in international migrant families focused on risk behaviours in adolescence and outcomes related to the neonatal period with substantially less focus on early childhood development. As such, we do not understand if development of children in international migrant families is different and, if so, in what ways it differs from children from native-born families or factors that influence their development. Knowledge of international migrant children's patterns of development and factors that influence their early life is necessary to inform policies and practices in order to ensure that this group of children has appropriate services and opportunities to support their early development and future opportunities. The aim of this thesis was two-fold. The first aim was to compare indices of early childhood development across key developmental domains (fine and gross motor, communication, problem solving, personal-social, social-emotional and behavioural problems and competencies) between children at two years of age who were born to foreign-born parents and their counterparts who were born to Canadian-born parents. The second aim of this thesis was to identify and compare factors associated with communication and social-emotional behavioural problems and competencies of early childhood development at two years of age for children who were born to foreign-born parents and their counterparts who were born to Canadian-born parents. Methods: This study used data from a prospective longitudinal pregnancy cohort study, the All Our Babies (AOB) study (n=3223; 2008-2011) in Alberta, to answer the research questions. We classified the eligible mother-child dyads who participated in the two year follow-up (n=1581) into two groups based on the parents' country of birth: 1) children who were born to Canadian-born parents (n=1129, 73%) and 2) children who were born to families with at least one foreign-born parent (at least one of the parents had to have been born outside of Canada) (n=452, 27%). Analysis: The demographics of the children and their parents were described as frequencies and precentages for categorical variables and means (SD) for continuous variables. Bivariate analysis was used to assess differences in developmental score means and categories using independent sample T-tests and Chi Square tests, respectively, between children two years of age who were born to foreign-born parents and those born to Canadian-born parents. Unadjusted odds ratios were generated for each independent variable and outcome. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to examine risk and protective factors of child development in each group. Results and conclusion: Children with foreign-born parents were more likely to need further assessment in communication (17%) with compared to those with Canadian-born parents (12.4%). They were also more likely to be at risk for social-emotional and behavioural problems (20.9%) and delay in social-emotional and behavioural competencies (18.9%) with compared to those with Canadian-born parents (12.6% and 11.1% respectively). Our findings suggest that the quality of stimulating activities in families with foreign-born parents differs from that of families with Canadian-born parents, which can influence the communication and emotional-social development of these children. Foreign-born parents may benefit from parenting supports to improve the quality of parenting practices. History of mental health issues was a universal risk factor for social-emotional delays in both groups. Addressing maternal mental health as a modifiable risk factor is warranted.

Download or read book Long Term Consequences of Adolescent Drug Use Evidence from Pre Clinical and Clinical Models written by Mary M. Torregrossa and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2018-09-05 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this collection is to provide a forum to integrate pre-clinical and clinical investigations regarding the long-term consequences of adolescent exposure to drugs of abuse. Adolescence is characterized by numerous behavioral and biological changes, including substantial neurodevelopment. Behaviorally, adolescents are more likely to engage in risky activities and make impulsive decisions. As such, the majority of substance use begins in adolescence, and an earlier age of onset of use (<15 yr) is strongly associated with the risk for developing a substance use disorder later in life. Furthermore, adolescent drug use may negatively impact ongoing neurological development, which could lead to long-term cognitive and emotional deficits. A large number of clinical studies have investigated both the acute and long-term effects of adolescent drug use on functional outcomes. However, the clinical literature contains many conflicting findings, and is often hampered by the inability to know if functional differences existed prior to drug use. Moreover, in human populations it is often very difficult to control for the numerous types of drugs, doses, and combinations used, not to mention the many other environmental factors that may influence adult behavior. Therefore, an increase in the number of carefully controlled studies using relevant animal models has the potential to clarify which adolescent experiences, particularly what drugs used when, have long-term negative consequences. Despite the advantages of animal model systems in clarifying these issues, the majority of pre-clinical addiction research over the past 50+ years has been conducted in adult animals. Moreover, few addiction-related studies have investigated the long-term neurocognitive consequences of drug exposure at any age. In the past 10 years of so, however, the field of adolescent drug abuse research has burgeoned. To date, the majority of this research has focused on adolescent alcohol exposure using a variety of animal models. The results have given the field important insight into why adolescents are more likely to drink alcohol to excess relative to adults, and the danger of adolescent alcohol use (e.g., in leading to a persistence of excessive drinking in adulthood). More recently, research regarding the effects of adolescent exposure to other drugs of abuse, including nicotine, cocaine, and cannabinoids has expanded. Therefore, we are at unique point in time, when emerging results from carefully controlled pre-clinical studies can inform the sometimes confusing clinical literature. In addition, we expect an influx of prospective clinical studies in response to a cross-institute initiative at NIH, known as the ABCD grant. Several institutes are enrolling children prior to adolescence (and the initiation of drug use), in order to control for pre-existing neurobiological and neurobehavioral differences and to monitor the age of initiation and amount of drug used more carefully than is possible using retrospective designs.
