Referrals to both behavioral health and entitlement programs were considered. Results showed that referrals to behavioral health programs were much more likely to be given to families receiving care from home-based care than center-based care, and that referrals were slightly more likely to be given to families who did not have any family risk events. Several factors also moderated the relationship between family risk and referrals, including perceived closeness of the parent/caregiver-EHS staff relationship, family conflict, and caregiver depression. There were no observed effects for referrals to entitlement programs. Caregiver depression weakened the link between family risk and service uptake for entitlement programs.</p>","PeriodicalId":47099,"journal":{"name":"Infants & Young Children","volume":"37 2","pages":"131-141"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10942235/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140144319","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of the present study is to compare the accuracy of the General Language Screen (GLS), focusing on receptive and expressive language and intelligibility with the accuracy of the VTO Language Screening Instrument (VTO-LSI)-3-year, focusing on expressive language and intelligibility. We hypothesize that the GLS is more accurate in identifying children with language delay, because it also assesses receptive language. Ninety-seven 3-year-old children were included based on their language screening score at the age of 2. At the age of 3, children were assessed with the VTO-LSI-3-year and the GLS. Diagnostic tests were used as reference tests. The GLS was better than the VTO-LSI-3-year in identifying children with language delay. Receiver operating characteristic analysis of the discriminative power showed higher areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve for the GLS. Moreover, the GLS was better in detecting receptive language concerns. Given these results the GLS may serve as a reliable screening tool, especially for children with receptive problems. Because receptive language problems are persistent, early diagnosis and intervention is very important for these children.","PeriodicalId":47099,"journal":{"name":"Infants & Young Children","volume":"122 14","pages":"36 - 47"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139128550","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To meet the demands of service coordination, personnel entering the EI field who will serve as service coordinators must receive high-quality professional development to orient them to their unique roles and responsibilities. The purpose of this program evaluation was to examine the effectiveness of one state's service coordination training program and its alignment with the Knowledge and Skills for Service Coordinators (KSSC), a resource document in the Division for Early Childhood and IDEA Infant Toddler Coordinators Association (DEC & ITCA) Joint Position Statement: Service Coordination in Early Intervention (2020). Survey results suggested that the training program was associated with increased knowledge and skills for service coordinator participants in many of the KSSC areas. Participants also reported using what they learned in their work with families. The rubric used to evaluate this training program could be a resource for state-level professional development providers to evaluate alignment of current and future training for service coordinators with the KSSC.","PeriodicalId":47099,"journal":{"name":"Infants & Young Children","volume":"5 6","pages":"48 - 63"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139129769","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mike led the growth of the IHDD into one of the largest interdisciplinary research, training, and service centers focused on disability in the United States. Currently employing more than 600 faculty, staff, and doctoral and postdoctoral students, the IHDD administers the University Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities, the Eunice Kennedy Shriver Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Research Center, the Leadership Education on Neurodevelopmental and Related Disabilities Program, and many other centers. The IHDD originates basic and translational research, provides clinical services to individuals and their families, provides interdisciplinary clinical and research training, and provides technical assistance and outreach training to practitioners and community agencies. Mike has also stepped down as founding Chair of the International Society of Early Intervention (ISEI), which he began more than 20 years ago. The goal of the ISEI is to enhance the ability of early intervention professionals throughout the world to work together to advance early intervention concepts and practices. The ISEI has grown to 3,000 members from more than 100 countries, and it has sponsored seven international conferences. In addition to Mike's academic career, which began before he took the helm of the IHDD, his most influential contribution to early childhood intervention (ECI) has been scientific. He has authored eight books and published more than 160 articles and book chapters spanning a range of topics and disciplines. His book on the Developmental Systems Approach (Guralnick, 2019) integrated developmental, intervention, and implementation science. This approach, first conceptualized more than 25 years ago, is the framework used by ECI programs in the United States and around the world. Many of its key elements were designed and tested through Mike's systematic and applied research agenda which began in the early 1970s. This early work formed the foundation of ECI, and helped define the variables that had most impact on infants, young children, and their families. For example, Mike's early and seminal work led to findings that resulted in the elaboration and refinement of key ECI practices in areas such as: research based service delivery to identify effective service elements for model replication (Guralnick, 1973); the conceptualization and implementation of a classroom and curriculum framework addressing individualization, evaluation, teacher training, and accountability (Guralnick, 1975); the effects of inclusion and peer interactions on children's development (Guralnick, 1976,1977,1978); the application of single case designs to evaluate interventions (Guralnick, 1978); the development and evaluation of training programs for pediatric residents on disability (Guralnick, 1981; Gural","PeriodicalId":47099,"journal":{"name":"Infants & Young Children","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135113335","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A large and U.S. representative sample of 16,739 birth to 6 years old children was used to calculate agreements (1) between the ASQ-3 and the ASQ:SE-2, as well as (2) between the indication of “parental concerns” about their child's behavior on the ASQ-3 and the results from the child's ASQ:SE-2. Findings indicated .80 agreement between “typical” classifications on the ASQ-3 and the ASQ:SE-2; as well as .57 agreement on the “at-risk” status. When parents indicated a “behavioral concern” about their child on the ASQ-3 overall questions, 74% of these children were identified by a subsequent ASQ:SE-2. High agreement on the “at-risk” status between developmental and social-emotional screening tests was found. High agreement between parental concerns about child's behavior and results of the social-emotional screening test was found.
