Abstract

Functional plans in early childhood intervention need to include contextualized, meaningful, and measurable goals and include timelines and criteria for generalization. In addition, they must address children's and families' needs and priorities. The Routines-Based Interview has had a positive impact on the functionality of goals identified in the child's individualized plan. In Australia, where Noah's Ark Inc. is implementing the Routines-Based Interview and developing functional and participation-based goals, families' perceptions of child performance on functional issues and their satisfaction with the performance were measured. We analyzed (a) the functionality of goals, (b) changes in parents' perceptions of child performance and satisfaction after 6 months of intervention, and (c) the moderating effect of family goals. We found acceptable overall goal functionality, although measurement criteria are still a component that needs attention. Noteworthy changes in performance and satisfaction scores were found after the intervention, and the percentage of family goals moderated the influence of the context and meaningfulness of intervention goals on parents' perceptions of child's difference in performance. This effect was greater with more family goals on a plan.

好的目标很重要

儿童早期干预的功能计划需要包括情境化的、有意义的和可衡量的目标，并包括时间表和推广标准。此外，它们必须处理儿童和家庭的需要和优先事项。基于常规的访谈对儿童个性化计划中确定的目标的功能有积极的影响。在澳大利亚，诺亚方舟公司正在实施基于常规的访谈，并制定基于功能和参与的目标，家庭对儿童在功能问题上的表现的看法以及他们对表现的满意度进行了测量。我们分析了(a)目标的功能，(b)干预6个月后父母对儿童表现和满意度的看法的变化，以及(c)家庭目标的调节作用。我们找到了可接受的总体目标功能，尽管度量标准仍然是一个需要注意的组件。干预后的表现和满意度得分发生了显著的变化，家庭目标的百分比调节了干预目标的背景和意义对父母对儿童表现差异感知的影响。如果一个计划中有更多的家庭目标，这种影响就会更大。

期刊介绍： Infants & Young Children is an interdisciplinary journal focusing on vulnerable children from birth to five years of age and their families. Of special interest are articles involving innovative interventions, summaries of important research developments and their implications for practice, updates for high priority topic areas, balanced presentations of controversial issues, and articles that address issues involving policy, professional training, new conceptual models, and related matters. Although data are often presented primarily to illustrate points, some types of data-based articles may be appropriate.
