Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Early-intervention programs for infants with developmental disabilities have existed in the US for over two decades.
  • The benefits of these programs are widely acknowledged.
  • This study examines data from 1975-1989.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the presenting problems of children referred to an early intervention program.
  • To assess the developmental progress of children attending the program.
  • To analyze admission trends and discuss the value of early intervention.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 698 children referred to an early intervention program between 1975 and 1989.
  • Categorization of children by medical condition groups, not specific diagnoses.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Comparison of admission and discharge developmental quotients (DQ) for 464 children attending for at least six months.

    • Main Results:

    • Detailed description of presenting problems in referred infants.
    • Demonstrated developmental progress in children who received early intervention for a minimum of six months.
    • Observed admission trends over the 15-year study period.

    Conclusions:

    • Early intervention programs are valuable for young children with developmental disabilities.
    • The study supports the continued development and utilization of such programs.
    • Further research into specific medical condition groups and intervention effectiveness is warranted.
