Parent Program

Considerable attention has been given to a growing literature concerning early infant stimulation and parent education programs for the ‘high risk’ infant. While specific innovative intervention programs have been implemented for these ‘high risk’ children, little work has been done toward the implementation of preventative psychotherapeutic models for the normal child. This paper describes the Ready-Set-Go Infant-Child-Parent Program and its implementation stressing the necessity for an interdisciplinary team approach in establishing a viable and effective infant stimulation-parent education program.

Purpose The purpose of this systematic review was to identify parent education procedures implemented in intervention studies focused on expressive verbal communication for nonverbal (NV) or minimally verbal (MV) children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Parent education has been shown to be an essential component in the habilitation of individuals with ASD. Parents of individuals with ASD who are NV or MV may particularly benefit from parent education in order to provide opportunities for communication and to support their children across the life span. Method ProQuest databases were searched between the years of 1960 and 2018 to identify articles that targeted verbal communication in MV and NV individuals with ASD. A total of 1,231 were evaluated to assess whether parent education was implemented. We found 36 studies that included a parent education component. These were reviewed with regard to (a) the number of participants and participants' ages, (b) the parent education program provided, (c) the format of the parent education, (d) the duration of the parent education, (e) the measurement of parent education, and (f) the parent fidelity of implementation scores. Results The results of this analysis showed that very few studies have included a parent education component, descriptions of the parent education programs are unclear in most studies, and few studies have scored the parents' implementation of the intervention. Conclusions Currently, there is great variability in parent education programs in regard to participant age, hours provided, fidelity of implementation, format of parent education, and type of treatment used. Suggestions are made to provide both a more comprehensive description and consistent measurement of parent education programs.

OBJECTIVETraumatic brain injury is a major sequela of nonaccidental trauma (NAT) that disproportionately affects young children and can have lasting sequelae. Considering the potentially devastating effects, many hospitals develop parent education programs to prevent NAT. Despite these efforts, NAT is still common in Western New York. The authors studied the incidence of NAT following the implementation of the Western New York Shaken Baby Syndrome Education Program in 1998.METHODSThe authors performed a retrospective chart review of children admitted to our pediatric hospital between 1999 and 2016 with ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM codes for types of child abuse and intracranial hemorrhage. Data were also provided by the Safe Babies New York program, which tracks NAT in Western New York. Children with a diagnosis of abuse at 0–24 months old were included in the study. Children who suffered a genuine accidental trauma or those with insufficient corroborating evidence to support the NAT diagnosis were excluded.RESULTSA total of 107 children were included in the study. There was a statistically significant rise in both the incidence of NAT (p = 0.0086) and the incidence rate of NAT (p = 0.0235) during the study period. There was no significant difference in trendlines for annual NAT incidence between sexes (y-intercept p = 0.5270, slope p = 0.5263). When stratified by age and sex, each age group had a distinct and statistically significant incidence of NAT (y-intercept p = 0.0069, slope p = 0.0374).CONCLUSIONSDespite educational interventions targeted at preventing NAT, there is a significant rise in the trend of newly reported cases of NAT, indicating a great need for better injury prevention programming.

Introduction: The most efficient risk stratification algorithms are expected to deliver robust and indefectible identification of high-risk children with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Here we compare algorithms for risk stratification in primary prevention in HCM children and investigate whether novel indices of biatrial performance improve these algorithms. Methods and Results: The endpoints were defined as sudden cardiac death, resuscitated cardiac arrest, or appropriate implantable cardioverter-defibrillator discharge. We examined the prognostic utility of classic American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) risk factors, the novel HCM Risk-Kids score and the combination of these with indices of biatrial dynamics. The study consisted of 55 HCM children (mean age 12.5 ± 4.6 years, 69.1% males); seven had endpoints (four deaths, three appropriate ICD discharges). A strong trend (DeLong p = 0.08) was observed towards better endpoint identification performance of the HCM Risk-Kids Model compared to the ACC/AHA strategy. Adding the atrial conduit function component significantly improved the prediction capabilities of the AHA/ACC Model (DeLong p = 0.01) and HCM Risk-Kids algorithm (DeLong p = 0.04). Conclusions: The new HCM Risk-Kids individualised algorithm and score was capable of identifying high-risk children with very good accuracy. The inclusion of one of the atrial dynamic indices improved both risk stratification strategies.
