In this statement, the American Academy of Pediatrics reaffirms the importance of the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), which guarantees people with disabilities certain rights to enable them to participate more fully in their communities. Pediatricians need to know about the ADA provisions to be able to educate and counsel their patients and patients' families appropriately. The ADA mandates changes to our environment, including reasonable accommodation to the needs of individuals with disabilities, which has application to schools, hospitals, physician offices, community businesses, and recreational programs. Pediatricians should be a resource to their community by providing information about the ADA and the special needs of their patients, assisting with devising reasonable accommodation, and counseling adolescents about their expanded opportunities under the ADA.

During the past several years as Chairman of the American Academy of Pediatrics' Committee on Pediatric Manpower I have witnessed the development of the concept of the pediatric nurse associate (PNA) within the specialty of pediatrics. In addition, I have also been aware of the controversies within the AAP membership regarding the role of the PNA in child health care delivery. Many of you will recall the concern of the mid-1960's which widely publicized an impending catastrophic shortage of pediatricians.

The Psychosocial Committee is to be commended for its report on the pediatrician and divorce in the July issue of Pediatrics. I would like to add the following: The role of the pediatrician should extend well beyond the divorce and immediate adjustment process. Firstly, there should be greater involvement between both the pediatrician and the Family Court system to help prevent misplacement of the child in custody decisions. (I believe that various groups within the American Academy of Pediatrics are already working with judicial/legal groups to bring to them a greater knowledge of child development and mental health).

Joseph Nicolosi's letter offers an opportunity to emphasize an important point made in the American Academy of Pediatrics' statement on "Homosexuality and Adolescence." The acknowledgment and understanding of one's sexual identity and sexual orientation is a developmental process that occurs gradually throughout adolescence and young adulthood. Confusion about sexual orientation is not unusual during adolescence, and the Committee on Adolescence agrees that professionals should avoid prematurely labeling an adolescent as gay. The role of the health professional is to offer sensitive and nonjudgmental support as the adolescent explores his or her developing sexual identity.

Look Back

On the 50th anniversary of the founding of the American Academy of Pediatrics, members paused to look back at past accomplishments. It is worth noting that the specialty was frequently criticized during these five decades for recruiting too many physicians into the relatively new field of medical activity. But the criticism had little effect; the corps of pediatricians grew rapidly. The ratio of pediatricians to children is now strikingly high when compared with Western countries in which the role of the specialist is that of a consultant to others who provide primary care (Table).

Pharmaceutical Manufacturers

As a visiting pediatric resident attending the recent meeting of the American Academy of Pediatrics in Boston I wish to object to the role which various pharmaceutical manufacturers were invited to play in the proceedings. We are doctors, we are not employees or clients of pharmaceutical firms and should expect neither discounts on their products nor to be entertained by them in their hopes of wooing our business. I do not wish my entertainment to be paid for by my patients through increased drug costs to them.

Transition Research

The role of research in transition education has been prominent and influential. Yet too many young people with disabilities are still not experiencing outcomes aligned with their personal aspirations and priorities. Moreover, individuals with disabilities continue to experience barriers to employment, educational, economic, and other challenges well into adulthood. Moving forward as a field will require continued investment in strong scholarship and careful consideration of new areas of inquiry. In this article, we present a framework for transition research designed to identify key issues and intersections in which future inquiry should be directed. We present research needs in six different areas to illustrate these possibilities. We also highlight some of the complexities and considerations associated with conducting this research.

Corporal punishment in school is allowed in 30 states in the United States. The American Academy of Pediatrics, together with numerous other childadvocacy groups, has reaffirmed its position that corporal punishment in schools should be prohibited by state statute in all states.1,2 This article provides background information and recommendations regarding the potential role for pediatricians in attaining this goal.
