Abstract

Over one-third of families in the United States experience diaper need, negatively affecting the health and developmental outcomes of young children. Research has shown that when providers recognize the importance of addressing the social determinants of health (SDOH), including diaper need, critical support is provided to children and families. Early intervention (EI) providers work collaboratively with families to address goals for their children, including SDOH. Through longitudinal partnerships with families, EI providers are ideally positioned to address disparities like diaper need and provide essential supports to families. When diaper need affects children with developmental delays and disabilities, the disparities are often exacerbated due to the extended length of time that may be required for the child to wear diapers. EI providers can address this need by increasing awareness of this issue, connecting families to resources, and advocating for policy changes to effectively address diaper need and optimize outcomes for children.
尿布需求:是时候改变实践和政策了
在美国,超过三分之一的家庭需要尿布,这对幼儿的健康和发育结果产生了负面影响。研究表明,当提供者认识到解决健康的社会决定因素(SDOH)的重要性时,包括尿布需求,就会向儿童和家庭提供关键支持。早期干预(EI)提供者与家庭合作,为他们的孩子解决目标,包括SDOH。通过与家庭的纵向合作,EI提供者可以解决尿布需求等差异,并为家庭提供必要的支持。当尿布需求影响到发育迟缓和残疾的儿童时,由于儿童可能需要长时间穿尿布,这种差异往往会加剧。EI提供者可以通过提高对这一问题的认识,将家庭与资源联系起来,并倡导政策变化来有效地解决尿布需求并优化儿童的结果,从而解决这一需求。

期刊介绍: Topics in Early Childhood Special Education (TECSE) communicates information about early intervention, which is defined broadly and includes services provided to (a) infants, toddlers, and preschoolers who are at risk for or display developmental delays and disabilities and (b) the families of such youngsters. TECSE includes articles on personnel preparation, policy issues, and operation of intervention programs. The intent is to publish information that will improve the lives of young children and their families. Manuscripts from (a) diverse theoretical perspectives, (b) all disciplines related to early intervention, and (c) all authors with information of value to the early intervention community are welcome. There are two topical issues—which address an identified problem, trend, or subject of concern and importance to early intervention—and two non-topical issues.
