Development and Validation of the Creative Arts Therapist Developmental Assessment Scales (CAT-DAS)

Currently, there is considerable interest among professionals in the field of mental retardation in developing and expanding community programs as alternatives to institutional placement for individuals with mental retardation. This paper describes the development of a second of a series of three criterion-referenced instruments designed to facilitate community integration of persons with moderate-profound mental retardation. Empirical data demonstrating reliability and validity of the instrument are presented. The results are discussed in terms of a number of assessment-related applications which are of immediate relevance to individuals undergoing training for community integration.

Abstract Objectives Short- or long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes of Neonatal Chikungunya infection haven’t been well described. In this study, we describe neurodevelopmental outcomes of a series of 13 infants. Methods Study was conducted over a period of 1 year in high-risk follow-up clinic. Follow-up visits were conducted at 3, 6, 9, 12 ± 3 months. Primary outcome Development Quotient by Developmental Assessment Scales for Indian Infants. Secondary outcome: growth/anthropometric assessment, neuromotor/neurosensory and re-hospitalization rate. Results DASII was <85 in three infants. Two other had expressive speech delay. Two, three and four babies had head circumference, length and weight below third centile, respectively. Two infants had persistent hypertonia and one had hypotonia. Two infants developed strabismus. Two infants had seizures persisting at 12 months requiring re-hospitalization. Conclusion Neonatal Chikungunya infection portends a poor neurodevelopmental outcome at 1 year of age. Careful neurodevelopmental follow-up is required for identification and management of sequelae.

Assessment Scales

Abstract Different jurisdictions use the AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment (AMA Guides) for different purposes, and this article reviews a specific jurisdictional definition in the Province of Ontario of catastrophic impairment that incorporates the AMA Guides. In Ontario, a whole person impairment (WPI) exceeding 54% or a mental or behavioral impairment of Class 4 or 5 qualifies the individual for catastrophic benefits, and individuals who do not meet the test receive a lesser benefit. By inference, this establishes a parity threshold among dissimilar injuries and dissimilar outcome assessment scales for benefits. In Ontario, the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) identifies patients who have a high probability of death or of severely disabled survival. The GCS recognizes gradations of vegetative state and disability, but translating the gradations for rating individual impairment on ordinal scales into a method of assessing percentage impairments cannot be done reliably, as explained in the AMA Guides, Fifth Edition. The AMA Guides also notes that mental and behavioral impairment in Class 4 (marked impairment) or 5 (extreme impairment) indicates “catastrophic impairment” by significantly impeding useful functioning (Class 4) or significantly impeding useful functioning and implying complete dependency on another person for care (Class 5). Translating the AMA Guides guidelines into ordinal scales cannot be done reliably.
